Blotter Test Comparison Instructions

To Get Started:

Staple 8 sheets of white copy paper together to best simulate wood fibers. Make sure they are securely fastened. Choose the wood stain you wish to compare to PENOFIN.

Testing Instructions:

• Shake cans and stir products well.
• Dip brush into a can (a sponge brush works best). Let the brush completely absorb the wood stain, then lightly wipe the brush on the sides of the can removing any drips.
• Please note: it is very important to use separate brushes for each product.
• Make sure it is not too hot and not too cold. The ideal temperature range for the wood stain test is between 40-70 degrees fahrenheit.
• Brush PENOFIN and the wood stain you are testing onto the paper in three strokes (back and forth) with medium-to-hard pressure. It is normal for the wood stain to look wet at first; it will absorb in a few minutes.
• Allow the blotter wood stain test to set and penetrate through the sheets for at least three hours before paging through the test! Don't peek! This allows the products to absorb. Interruption of the test will disturb penetration.
