Enables the professional and first time finisher to achieve a pickled (whitewashed) look without the need of exotic tools and techniques. White Pickling Stain is especially formulated to be applied with a rag. Allow at least 24 hours to dry. Once dry, it can be topcoated with any conventional finish. Water Base Finishes, due to their clarity, are best for maintaining whiteness of Pickling Stain. Some stain movement may occur if topcoat is brushed on.
