How to Prevent Stains During Application?
Updated: 15.07.2026
✓
Maintain a consistent thickness, substrate absorbency, drying time, use a smooth technique and avoid coloured patination gel.
Detailed answer
Stains can be prevented primarily by ensuring uniform substrate absorbency, applying a thin layer, and using a steady technique. Problems often arise from applying too thick a layer, uneven drying, excessive water, or using coloured gel over a large area. For more demanding shades, sampling is practically essential.
Common mistakes
- applying a thick layer instead of a thin one to the grain
- sanding without thoroughly vacuuming dust
- rushing between layers and not respecting drying times
