Reactive Stain Tip: To get better performance
out of your clear coats, neutralize the reactive
acid stain. Here's how: After you have applied reactive
acid stain, allow time for a full reaction (min.
4 hours). The surface must then be scrubbed and cleaned
with water and *baking soda OR **ammonia. Then rinse
well with water. Be sure to protect adjacent areas
from run-off. Remove all residues and allow to dry
before sealing.
*1 lb. baking soda to 5 gallons water.
** 1.5 oz. of ammonia to 1 gallon water.
