Chemical stains & bleaching agents
Chemical stains and bleaches are ideal tools if you want to remove unwanted colour casts from wood or achieve a light, even colour. These products help to intensify the natural wood colour or prepare the material to a more neutral base for further processing with other stains or lacquers.
Particularly with dark or heavily coloured types of wood, chemical stains and bleaches can help to emphasise the natural grain and give the wood a fresh, even colour.
