I understand the liquid mix brushed on rough lumber it will leave a white residue. Can this residue be planed off to obtain clean, stain-able wood?

I used it on a log home which was stained and some painted areas and got no residue--very pleased with the product.

You plane off the barrier. I don't know how stainable depending on saturation of product. Maybe use a leveler before staining. You can call Tim Bor for more detailed answers. Good luck.

Yes it can. Sometimes there may be a white residue yet can be removed for staining. Timbor penetrates into the wood as well.

When I rebuilt my deck, I sprayed it on the lumber and I didn't notice any white film. I dissolves pretty well. Mix it with a paddle and a power drill.

It works on every wood product on which I've tried it. As long as the object is porus enough to absorb the liquid, it will consolidate it. Larger defects can be repaired with the solid mix, and thinning the solid to a thinner paste by mixing with the liquid mix may be useful as well.

It's a clear liquid, a little oily. Squirt it on a damp cloth and polish furniture & wood. Then wipe again with a dry cloth. It makes the wood beautiful.

I would assume yes. Most wood products will warp and lose the intensity of their stain if water is allowed to absorb into it, it shouldn't be a problem to spill if you wipe it up but letting moisture sit long enough to start to get absorbed into the wood will damage it. If you keep it oiled with something like murphy's oil or pledge or something similar then water won't damage as long as you wipe it off.

I am thinking you can use it on a newly stained table. It is very gentle, no chemicals.....It may temporarily darken the wood but after applying you wait a few hours and then wipe it off. It really is so great on my wooden counters which are unfinished. If the wood is sealed with polyurethane or something like that, the cream wood just lay on the top and not penetrate the wood. I don't believe a stained wood would be a problem as long as it not sealed with anything else.....

I would play it safe and use a water based sanding sealer over the stain before applying this. That should act a s buffer or barrier between the two. Plus it will allow for a glass like finish. Since this product is an oil based finish, I don't know if the two are directly compatible. The whole water vs oil thing that is.

Yes, but as with any cleaner, it'd be best to test it somewhere inconspicuous first.Not all wood finishes have the same durability. Particularly as this has to dwell for 10 minutes to disinfect, less durable finishes might not hold up.

It does not need to be mixed with water. Apply directly to wood. Make sure you wear gloves.

There is no finish on the wood. If I were to use this in a moist environment, I would treat it first.

I am assuming, as a pro finisher, Osmo will work with certain stains and dyes, but I would definitely remove old finish such as wax. You want the oil soaking into the wood.

Do not use on real wood. For synthetic wood and plastic based products only. You may be able to clean it off with mayo. A least it will not hurt the wood. This may sound strange but it works.

I have only spot cleaned with a barely damp rag. But honestly the stains on the wood didnt come out so as per advice of my dad, I used simple wax stain from hardware store and rubbed into wood twice till smooth. Then let kids play with it. It takes on a different sheen the more they touch it and the stains are hardly noticeable now. You could also lightly sand and then light stain the wood.

Yes. The surface is raw wood and can be stained or finished any way you would finish other raw wood.

I did some research and you can use aniline dye on wood. I would make sure the wood grain surface is clean and free of all oils and paint etc.

When put on wood, the PC Petrifier "wets" it so it looks darker. When dry it lightens up. Might have a little residual white to it, but its nothing at all like white paint.

Perhaps it would be best if you used a wood conditioner first so the stain will be accepted by your wood more evenly. There are lots of them available and I have found it to be helpful. The Briwax would be your last step. Conditioner, stai!n, Briwax -- rmember to take all the steps for a proper finish. Good luck !
