HOW TO USE A DYE FLAKE Nogalina?

The nogalina comes in flakes, which melt in warm water until you get from walnut, through the media, according to the dark walnut hue requerida- all transparent.

 

Its application is simple and is done with a brush or sponge, taking care and attention so that the tinted stay in top condition.

 

The first thing to do is clean the wood, the surface must be clean and free of grease, paint, wax or other product residues.

 

Since we will use water-based products, previously we have to appease the grain hair: When a wood gets wet, the dry fiber is usual stay bloated, and with raised hair. To avoid this, before staining there to paint with water, wait until completely dry, sand it with fine sandpaper wood double zero. Then, the timber is ready to receive paint which can be applied with different methods.

 

Wood painting scaly nogalina, you dilúyelas with water and apply it with a cloth soaked in the substance or with a brush.

 

First of all we prepare a liter of dye, enough to tint many furniture amount. We bought 150 grams of walnut stain, and to modify its dark brown and approaches according to our taste the cherry, walnut, mahogany, etc.

 

These substances should be measured in volume amounts to a lentil, because a tiny amount much stained. In one liter of hot water all nogalina poured and slowly mixed with dyes to get the color you want.

 

The more hands nogalina, the darker the color. It should be adding water and go slowly by stirring well to remove any lumps.

 

It is convenient to go doing tests on a piece of wood, not to overdo the pitch, or the dye is too clear.

 

With each hand we apply, once the previous one is completely dry, we got a grade of darkness, so it is better to do a better lowered dye and take two or three hands that dark spend the first.

 

We apply this preparation with flat brush, wrist or sponge.

Once all the furniture soaked with dye, let it dry in a place without sun.
