Aquastain Application

Smith & Rodger's AQUASTAIN has been developed by intermixing a durable waterbased coating and lightfast dyestuffs.

It is designed for application to wooden unsealed floors prior to sealing with ESSAR Aquacoat SP, ESSAR Aquacoat XTRA or ESSAR Polyurethane Varnish. AQUASTAIN holds its wet line better than traditional light fast stains and takes approximately 2 hours to dry prior to overcoating.
