CPS61 Solvent-borne pigment wood stain, grey oak

Ready-to-use solvent-borne pigment wood stain in 'grey oak'. Evens out colour variation and hides defects, levels well, lightfast. Spray-and-wipe, spray only, or roller-coat. The dealer lists it for furniture in any species, interior and exterior; the sibling official pages (CPS58, CPS62) describe the series as wiping stains for exterior wood.

  • Staining furniture in any wood species
  • Grey 'weathered/limed' oak and ash with pore highlight (wipe-on)
  • Exterior: decks, verandas, gazebos, garden furniture, boardwalks, cladding, fences — only under a weather-resistant topcoat

    2025/26 catalog figure for the whole CPS series; it really describes the concentrates (CPS8/9/10 etc.). On the ready colour CPS61 that much thinner gives only a faint tint — not a default recipe.

    Figure from the dealer page of sibling ready colour CPS037 (0-100 % by weight and by volume); not stated for CPS61 itself. Default is undiluted; thinner weakens the grey — test on an offcut.

  • CFS1Additive

    Solvent binder (spray grade) — for wipe-on/pore-highlight work and to lock the pigment in.

    Not stated for CPS61. The concentrate CPS9 (official + dealer) lists CFS1 0-400 %, but the ready colour CPS037's dealer table does not. Catalog 2025/26 (CPS series): 'with the special binder it can be applied by wiping'.

  • CFC3Additive
    % by weight: 200 %schedule

    UV schedule: flat anegre-veneer panels, 60-80 g/m² (the schedule does not name the application method).

    The schedule names the CPS series, not a colour. CFC3 is not defined anywhere on the site (probably a binder) — confirm with Technocolor.

  • S90Thinner

    UV schedule, flat panels (application method not stated).

    For a custom shade: CPS10 (white) for a lighter, limed oak; CPS9 (black) for darker and cooler; CPS8 (blue) to kill yellowness.

    Record ratios by weight; test on the same wood under the same topcoat.

Stir thoroughly — the pigment settles. Keep shaking/stirring the cup while you work. Lay one even wet coat, no puddles; go lighter on end grain (it drinks more and goes darker). To wipe: spray, give it 1-3 min, then wipe along the grain with a sponge or lint-free rag, packing pigment into the pores (pore-highlight effect on open-grain wood — needs CFS1 binder). CPS61 is a ready colour, 'grey oak': the grey pigment reads best packed into the pores of oak and ash; on close-grain wood (beech, birch, maple) it can look muddy — test on an offcut.

Spray only, no wiping: one even wet coat, no puddling in the pores. Stir well — the pigment settles. Without wiping the grey comes out denser and hides more of the grain.

Cloth or pad

Wiping with a sponge or soft rag removes the excess after spraying (Technocolor's method definition). For a pore-highlight effect on oak/ash use CFS1 binder.

Roller coater (UV)

Flat parts on a roller-coater line only, 10-20 g/m² (dealer). The official UV schedule (60-80 g/m², CPS:CFC3:S90 = 100:200:200) doesn't name the application method; the stain flashes 5 min at 20-25 °C before VTS20011 UV filler.

Not listed by Technocolor. Fine for touch-up and for exterior work (fences, decking): brush on, wipe along the grain with a rag after 1-3 min to take off the excess.
