## Overview

Rubio Monocoat Precolor Easy is a water-based, eco-friendly pre-treatment stain designed for indoor wood surfaces. It offers quick drying, molecular bonding for durability, and a rich palette of 14 mixable colors, including intense black. Ideal for creative wood finishing projects, it pairs perfectly with Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus 2C to deliver long-lasting, customizable, and sustainable wood finishes.

## Description

Precolor Easy is an optional pretreatment, designed to be used in combination with Oil Plus 2C, to create special complimentary and contrasting effects while allowing the optimal molecular bonding of Oil Plus 2C with the wood to remain guaranteed.

Review: Works great, super dark, penetrating - This is the easiest, best looking was to get wood stained/dyed black. It looks great and goes on easy. However after it dries it can rub off a little if you don't do anything else, so I would advise to also seal it with an oil coat, wax, varnish, or poly. The Rubio Oil plus 2c charcoal goes very well with this. There was no noticeable smell while applying it which is also great. It dries very quickly.
Review: Great Product - I really like the way this finish turned out on this hutch I made. I used the intense black precolor with the Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus 2C in Black. Very easy to use and apply. It was warm and humid at the time of application (92 degrees F with humidity around 96%) With the high humidity, I was surprised at how quickly I had to come back and wipe off the precolor and the Oil Plus 2C. Instructions state "Start wiping excess oil away around 15 minutes from applying it..." I thought for sure the humidity would prolong the drying. I had to start that process in about 5 minutes. Of course, each situation will be different. I will use Rubio Monocoat again!!
