Wood Stain TIKKURILA Black Ebony 2.5 L — interior and exterior wood protection

TIKKURILA Black Ebony 2.5 L is a pigment-based wood stain formulated for both interior and exterior wooden surfaces. It provides a deep black ebony tone while enhancing the natural grain of the timber and delivering even coloration. The product is intended as a preparatory and decorative treatment that penetrates and tones timber, making it suitable for doors, furniture, cladding and joinery where a uniform dark finish is required.

Advantages

The stain offers good color uniformity and penetration into wood fibers, which helps reduce visible surface blotchiness and emphasizes the structure of the grain. It is suitable for application on a variety of wood types and can be used as a base for further surface coatings. The formulation is adapted for both indoor and outdoor exposure, giving basic protection against weathering when used correctly and maintained with subsequent coatings.

Suitable for

• Exterior cladding, facades and trim that require a deep black finish
• Interior doors, furniture and joinery with ebony coloration
• Wooden panels and boards before applying protective topcoats
• Restoration projects where tinting to a uniform dark tone is needed

Key specifications

• Volume: 2.5 litres
• Type: pigment-based wood stain
• Intended use: interior and exterior wood surfaces
• Colour: deep black ebony tone
• Effect: penetrates wood, tones surface and highlights grain

How to use

Ensure the wooden surface is clean, dry and free from dust, grease and loose particles. Stir the stain thoroughly before use to achieve a uniform tint. Apply evenly with a brush, roller or cloth in the direction of the grain, allowing time for penetration. Remove excess stain with a clean cloth if necessary to avoid pooling. Allow adequate drying time between coats; apply a second coat if a deeper colour or more even coverage is required. For exterior applications or high-wear surfaces, finish with a compatible protective topcoat following the stain's drying period.

Usage recommendations

Test the stain on a small, inconspicuous area or a sample piece of the same wood to check colour outcome and absorption. Store and apply at temperatures recommended by the manufacturer and follow safety instructions for ventilation and personal protection when working indoors. For long-term exterior performance, use appropriate maintenance intervals and protective topcoats suited to the exposure conditions.
