| OXALIC ACID A wood toner, such as Oxalic Acid, brings back darkened wood's patina to its natural color (or close to it) due to age, weathering or pH. It will lighten the wood due to the above, however, will not bleach the wood or, remove aniline dye stains. |
| HOODBLEACH™-192 To remove aniline dye type stains from a wood surface, this product is recommended to use, though not guaranteed. Often a spot trial is required to be certain. This product will not tone, brighten or bleach the wood, nor remove stains other than aniline dye type. To remove pigmented stains from the wood grain, use our HOODSTRIP®-290, or HOODSTRIP®-E-Z DUZ IT (715) in conjunction with a stiff scrubbing brush, course steel wool or a scrubbing pad. |
| HOODBLEACH™- 190 To bleach the wood down, say yellow pine to white pine, red oak to white oak, etc., a two part bleaching system is needed, part A and Part B. Part A opens up the grain upon penetration, while part B chemically reacts with part A and bleaching occurs through oxidation. The degree of bleaching is a function of how long part B is allowed to dwell on the surface and react with A. That is, a half hour, four hours, overnight, etc. Often reapplying A on top of B again after about an hour may be necessary or repeating the cycle, i.e., A than part B again. CAUTION: mixing A & B together prior to application or at any time, must be avoided. A violent and harmful chemical reaction will occur that can burn eyes and skin. |
