After applying Copper Green, how long do I have to wait before I can apply a solid body stain?
202091
I waited a week before painting over Copper Green with oil-based paint and the paint adhered and dried fine (fir gutter.) So I think a solid body stain would be similar, assuming it's oil-based. I don't think I'd even try to apply latex over Copper Green unless it had dried for a long, long time.

I would say an absolute minimum of 24 hours, under dry conditions. To be safe, go a few days. You want the oil-based solution to have completely evaporated and left behind only the preservative chemicals. When I used copper green, I couldn't find any information on drying time. But most penetrating oil-based solutions (like stain, or like copper green) recommend 24 hours. This web page has some useful information about staining on top of a preservative: http://www.paintpro.net/articles/pp903/pp903-wood_finishes.cfm No dog in the hunt re. that link - just thought it good information.

Well I guess it depends on the look you're going for. I used it for all of the solid brass door knobs in my house and they stayed looking freshly polished for over 6 months. I was actually hoping they'd start looking a little more aged again sooner than they did. After about 7 months they finally started getting that brass color back as opposed to a super polished gold color. Now they're looking better than ever! But all it would take is a quick rub down with a tiny bit of product to get it looking super shiny again it thats what you're going for.

As far as I am aware the product I used has no color relevance at all. The only indications about color is if you wish to color, color either before you apply the product or not before 2 weeks after you apply the product. Hope this helps.

Yes! Just make sure you have let two weeks pass between processes. Also I would just keep an eye on it just in case. Usually in a salon they would do the coloring first then the treatment. Good luck!

No, it's a thicker crème that has a white sheen to it. I normally wait 10 to 15 minutes after applying to use make-up. A light powder works best over the sunscreen.

I would wait about 1/2 hour (fully dry) before getting in bed or putting on any nice clothing. I did notice a light stain on my shirt when I dressed immediately. It did wash off but inconvenient and not very pretty if you are headed out for the day.

Depends on how long you let it run. If you are running the batch for just a couple hours it will be mostly clear with a tad bit of a haze- if you let it go for 4 hours or more it starts to get that amber-ish color because of the higher silver content of the H20. I love this kit! I usually let mine process for 6- 12 hours.

If you want to cover grey, I would suggest doing a darker color (try to match your original color), and mix in the copper. I use a whole bottle of golden brown and about 1/3 to half a bottle of copper.

I would bleach first, so your color is even. The splat bleach works very quickly so keep an eye on it. My hair was a light brown and it only took 25 min. for it to come up.

About a month you must use daily and when new stains grow I made sure I cut the new stains I have heard other people say it took them much less time I was about to give up and then someone posted on amazon to make sure you shake the bottle well before applying

Here's what I have learned through trial and sometimes error. These times are usually dependent on whatever brand polish you are using. Some will say on the box or bottle. Others I kind of just figured out on my own. Usually to be safe I do 30 seconds for base coats on brands that do not give instruction. I go 1 min on color if it is gel. I will go 3-4 on non gel colors. Top coat I go 1 min as well. I will say that I am a. Mom and tend to be paranoid when it comes to freshly done nails, so I give it a "just in case" amount of time. Good luck!

When I used it, I waited up to 5 minutes like the directions said. If there was not an even whitish "frosting" coating on my (face,neck,upper chest,where ever) after the first 5 minutes, I applied another layer and waited up to another 5 minutes for the "frosting". Have a fan blowing on you during the 5 minute wait and be ready to jump in the shower to wash it off immediately when "frosted".

In all my experience one hour and I stay creamy blonde no brassy not white of course if you're worried I would do 1/2 hour so there is no chance. That's how it works for me, I hope it's the same for you! Hearts

It usually requires 3 hours cause it seems more like a stain than dye. It's really good stuff. It just takes awhile. Just keep checking it

It does take a while but it should turn green when done. It shouldn't take more than 8 hours.

The label on the bottle states "...will also work on old deep-set stains and odors." The label also cautions that it may be necessary to lift the carpeting to treat the carpet pad AND the flooring beneath the pad. In those cases expect to wait one-hour after treating before blotting any excess Nature's Miracle. As always, read and follow the label directions for the best results.

Dampen a microfiber cloth with it and gently work the stain. Condition with protectant.
