Wood Finishes, Stains and Coatings
Wood Stains, Patinas & Grain Fillers
Fillers, solvent- and waterborne stains for hand, spray and dip applications, plus patinas for authentic ageing. Both coloured and colour-matched stains are available, and can be used to tint Morrells lacquers, depending on the type of lacquer used.
Wood Stains - available in both fast and slow solvent types for a variety of applications. Morrells Light Fast stains can be used to tint Morrells Pre-Catalyst and Morrells Acid-Catalyst lacquers and are available as a spirit blend only, while Morrells Classique stains are available in a fast-solvent Spray & Leave or slow-solvent Spray & Wipe and both can be used to tint Morrells Pre-Catalysed Lacquer. Also available is the range of Compliant Water Stains, which are compatible with Morrells Waterborne lacquers.
Patina Stains - spray-applied to achieve an authentic aged and distressed effect by rubbing off edges and raised areas before being overcoated with a solvent-based Morrells lacquer. They cannot be used with Morrells waterborne lacquers or VLi products.
Grain Fillers - hand- or spray-applied (when thinned 10%) and supplied ready for use to fill the open grain of timbers like mahogany and oak prior to lacquering. The standard range consists of a selection of the most widely used wood colours though a bespoke colour-matching service is available. Grain filler should be applied after staining and only when the stain is fully dry. Overcoatable with any Morrells lacquer.
