To dissolve we recommend using hot, but not boiling, water. Always start by putting the water into a suitable glass, plastic (HDPE) or ceramic container, and then gradually add the powder. Stir the solution while adding, and then stir occasionally over the course of 10-15 minutes to ensure all powder is dissolved. Allow to cool before use. The mixed stain can be applied to wood with a sponge, cloth or brush. These 28g (1oz) packets will create: 2 litre of normal strength stain 4 litres of wash coat 1 litre of concentrated stain
