Epifanes Teak Stain is a fast-drying, penetrating wood stain that gives timber a rich golden teak colour. This wood stain is ideal for restoring faded or discoloured wood before applying a varnish system.
Tip: Epifanes stain is also available as Mahogany Stain for a warm mahogany finish.
Applications
Epifanes stain is suitable for new work on solid bare wood (e.g., meranti, mahogany, Oregon pine, teak, iroco) and plywood. It can be used indoors and outdoors on areas above the waterline.
Directions for use
Follow these steps to apply Epifanes Teak Stain correctly:
- Ensure the wood is bare, clean, dry, and free of grease; degrease with Epifanes 1-C Thinner or white spirit.
- Sand the bare wood in the direction of the grain. Smooth wood: P180–P220; coarse wood: P60–P80. Then sand progressively finer up to P220. Remove all sanding dust.
- Shake the container and apply the mahogany stain in thin coats using a soft brush or microfibre cloth, always following the grain.
- Allow each coat to dry for at least 2 hours at 20°C. Use a maximum of 3 coats for an intense colour. No sanding is required between coats.
- Remove any stains or runs immediately with Epifanes Thinner or turpentine and avoid applying overly thick layers.
- Apply at 10–30°C, with 50–85% relative humidity, avoiding direct sunlight, and ensure good ventilation.
- Epifanes Teak Stain is dust-dry after 30 minutes and overcoatable after 2 hours at 20°C.
You can finish Epifanes Mahogany Stain with a 1-component high-gloss clear varnish such as Epifanes Clear Varnish, Epifanes Hardwood Oil Varnish, or with a 2-component varnish such as Epifanes Poly-urethane Yacht Paint or Epifanes PP Varnish Extra.
Tip: add up to 10% Epifanes Stain to a 1- or 2-component varnish for a lightly tinted finish. This evens out colour differences and accentuates the wood grain. Multiple tinted coats provide a deeper colour. Also suitable for tinting RESION epoxy.

The recommended layer thickness is the thickness at which you apply each coat of paint, coating or resin. It is usually given in micrometres (µm) or millimetres (mm).
- Wet film thickness: the thickness immediately after application.
- Dry film thickness: the thickness after drying or curing.
For a coating with 60% solids by volume, a wet film of 100 µm will theoretically produce a dry film of approximately 60 µm. Film thickness affects coverage, protection and drying. Always check whether the manufacturer specifies wet or dry film thickness.
- 60-70 µm wet (= 20-25 µm dry)
-
The recommended application temperature range indicates the conditions under which the product can generally be applied and cured properly. Three temperatures matter:
- Air: the temperature in the workshop or outdoors.
- Substrate: the temperature of the surface being treated.
- Product: the temperature of the resin, adhesive or coating itself.
A cold substrate can cause condensation and affect adhesion. At higher temperatures, two-component products may react faster, reducing their working time. Check the dew point and follow the product instructions.
- 10-30 °C
-
The period for which an unopened product remains usable under the specified storage conditions. Check whether the period starts from the manufacturing date or another date. Shelf life may be shorter after opening, especially for products sensitive to air or moisture.
- At least 36 months
-
The overcoating interval tells you when the next layer of paint, varnish or coating may be applied. Many multi-coat systems specify both a minimum and a maximum interval:
- Minimum overcoating time: the previous layer is dry or cured enough to accept another coat.
- Maximum overcoating time: the period during which the next coat can bond without extra surface preparation under the stated conditions.
Overcoating too early can affect drying or the finish. Once the maximum interval has passed, cleaning and sanding may be needed to ensure adhesion between coats. Temperature and film thickness affect the waiting times.
- 2 hours (20 °C)
-
A paint or varnish layer is dust-dry when settling dust is less likely to stick to the surface. It may not yet be touch-dry, ready for overcoating or suitable for loading; these are different stages of drying and curing.
- 30 minutes (20 °C)
-
Solids content is the proportion of material remaining after volatile components have evaporated from a coating. It is stated as a percentage by weight or by volume (%); these are not interchangeable. Volume solids content helps estimate dry film thickness: with 60% volume solids, a 100 µm wet film will theoretically produce approximately 60 µm of dry film.
- 3 ± 2 vol.%
-
Consumption or coverage describes how much product is needed for a given surface area. Consumption may be stated in g/m² or kg/m², while coverage is often given in m²/L or m²/kg. A consumption of 0.2 kg/m² means a theoretical 200 grams per square metre. Actual use depends on film thickness, substrate absorbency, application method and waste.
- 4-7 m²/L
-
A specific thinner that can be used, where permitted, to adjust a product's application properties or viscosity. The correct thinner and maximum quantity depend on the product. Incorrect thinning can affect coverage, drying and curing.
- None

-
VOC content (volatile organic compounds) indicates the amount of these substances in a product, usually expressed in g/L (grams per litre). They may evaporate during application and drying. The value describes the composition, but actual exposure also depends on how much is used, ventilation and the application method.
