## Questions & Answers

**Q: Anyone have any luck getting rid of the purple/blue tint on pine in any way?**
A: I had good luck achieving a nice driftwood gray color (instead of bluish-purple) on pine by mixing it 1/1 with water first - it seems like the bluish-purple color comes from the product being pretty strong straight out of the can. The good news: getting twice the amount I need from a can (when mixed 1/1 with water). Putting a coat of urethane on top (after dried) darkens it - no need for a second coat (and potentially making it bluish-purple).

**Q: Can you use it on pressed wood?**
A: Yes but not sure the look would be what you want. It ages the wood bringing out the grain on pressed wood it would exaggerate the pieces of pressed wood a gel stain Might be a better product. You can make faux grain.

**Q: can the stain be lightened after it's applied? I have darker areas where it overlapped.**
A: Try leaving the treated wood out in the sun. The UV rays start to fade/lighten the effect on wood. You may need to leave in the sun for several days. Just experiment with it.

**Q: what is the best topcoat for this product to retain the colour?**
A: laquer then followed by poly. just poly will lighten your satisfied color.
