With cold weather here and snow on the ground, we thought that it maybe helpful to give you a few tips on storing your oil based and water based stains for the winter months.
Our suggestions for safely storing your stains would be to ensure the lids are completely sealed to avoid contamination from water or other things stored in the area. The stains should be kept in a mild environment that doesn’t allow for the products to freeze then thaw. Lastly try to insure that the cans are as full as possible by using a smaller can if possible. Also be aware that stains do have a shelf life (which isn’t indicated on the can), meaning if they aren’t ideally kept it can make the stain unusable for future projects.
