Formulated in water-based solution, odorless and water-dilutable, the White Wood Stain TBL900 is perfect for coloring, refreshing, or customizing your interior wood surfaces: floors, stairs, paneling, furniture, or woodwork. It provides a slightly whitewashed tint, ideal for lightening too dark wood or creating a trendy "whitewashed wood" effect.
Unlike paint, the stain leaves the wood grain visible and natural, while evening out the surface. Its fluid application ensures a consistent result, without streaks or buildup, even for beginner users.
