Basic Directions to use as a stain:
You can dilute Unicorn SPiT™ by up to 70% with water to make your stain. Simply add 10 parts Unicorn SPiT™ in a resealable container, gradually mix in up to 7 parts water. On a small piece of dry, clean and bare sample article test the staining power as you add water till you get your desired effect. Mixing the water to the Unicorn SPiT™ allows the product to absorb into the porous surface.
Apply your product to the surface once it is completely void of any and all oil, sealer, dirt, grime, paint, stain, or anything that may inhibit the product from contacting the bare porous surface for best results.
Unicorn SPiT™ dries quickly. You can use a spray bottle of water to keep your Unicorn SPiT™ from drying out and able to be manipulated while on the surface. You can also use multiple colors at one time and blend colors or lines together.
