Pro Tips

Frequently Asked Questions

How many coats should I apply?
For most interior applications, 2-3 coats of Diamond Wood Finish Interior (Water-Based) provide adequate protection. Apply thin, even coats and sand lightly between coats.

What is the difference between water-based and oil-based finish?
Water-based finishes dry clear, have low odour, and dry faster. Oil-based finishes add a warm amber tone, have stronger odour, and take longer to dry but typically build a harder film. For light-coloured woods such as maple and birch, water-based is recommended to preserve the natural colour.
