Can you stain the product before applying this?

Yes you can. Works well. Look up Epifanes application instructions on the web.

Yes. I used wood moisturizer before I stained and 1 coat was enough to stain it dark espresso.

I didn't try but the product dries completely so I don't know why you couldn't. Though I think it would take several coats to cover the dark grey.

Yes, it is 'non-staining', and is one of the very best formulas that really works. I have used it for many years, and love it! I keep it on hand and use it regularly!

Make sure you hit it with a stain blocking oil-based primer before painting it otherwise the stain will bleed through the paint.

Not when you are washing your hair out, but if you get a pile of the product from the bottle on it and don't wash off fast it will stain, but not when it is coming out of your hair.

No, there is no staining. I recommend using half the required dosage if woworried.

No it does not. It will stain the area you apply it in, so just be sure to stand on a towel or a place that is easy to wipe down afterwards.

Hi Linda, I do not know if this stain can be tinted. I used it on beadboard paneling, as is. I recommend using the pre-treatment product first, as it preps the wood nicely, like a primer. Then use one or more coats ot the stain, depending on how much wood grain you want showing through. I like this product and recommend it. Grace

It appears to already have a natural finish. The stain might not soak in unless you do a pre-process.

Yes I sanded it lightly then stained it. Applied several coats with slight sanding in between using fine paper. Then coats of polyurethane.

Mattie, I'm not sure if the label includes instructions for water based stain, but I have used water based stain (and over that, wax or polycrylic) several times with no problems. The easiest way I have found to do it is to get all your staining supplies ready, then to apply the conditioner with a saturated chip brush, let it sit for 2-3 minutes, wipe the excess off with a rag, let it dry for 3-5 minutes (to soak in, it won't be dry) and apply the stain. Let it sit according to the directions, reapply as desired, then allow to fully cure and seal however you'd like. For the record, I do highly recommend the conditioner, it really does make a difference in how nicely and evenly the stain applies. Good luck, how this helps!

Yes it can be stained but be sure you put at varnish over it when the stain dries

No. The stained area will not glow as brightly and will now be puddle shaped instead of having well defined edges the way it glowed before you treated it. When wet it will appear to stop glowing but the slightly fainter glow will return when it dries.

I would lightly sand it or use liquid deglosser before staining it with the Java stain. The java gel stain is very opaque and with 3 coats on my project, it was very dark and did not show any of the original stain color (golden oak) underneath it. I used 3 coats of java and 3 coats of semi-gloss top coat.

I'm not an expert but I think you could paint it if you sanded it first. I don't think you can stain it

Yes. Goto Lowes,Home Depot or Ace and they sell mason powder. You can mix in the batch or even coat on top of whatever your pouring and it will stain it.I have used the red powder before. Or you may use a liquid stain like Nulook. Hope it helps.
