After sanding, it is essential to thoroughly remove all dust particles from the surface. Any residual dust can compromise the adhesion of the applied finish, leading to an unsatisfactory result.

For wooden surfaces with existing microporous stains, a gentle cleaning or light sanding is advised. This helps to remove any dirt or debris that could interfere with the application process.

If the wooden surface is coated with old varnish, it must be removed prior to further treatment. This can be achieved using a dedicated paint remover like Osmo Paint Remover or by manually sanding down the surface.

Once the old varnish has been removed, a fine sandpaper (such as grit P120) should be used to smoothen the surface further, if necessary. This helps to create an even base for the subsequent application of stains or finishes.

Prior to any treatment, it is imperative that the wooden surface is thoroughly cleaned and completely dry. This ensures optimal adhesion and prevents moisture-related issues in the future. The maximum moisture content should not exceed 18%.
