Specially formulated with a unique blend of resin and refined natural linseed oil to provide a superior natural finish for bare wood. This distinctive product comes in 5 natural tones that not only sustains the natural beauty of exterior wood, it also provides excellent wood penetrating protection against the sun and all damaging weather elements. It is waterrepellent, to keep moisture out and guard against warping and checking, plus mildew resistant. Easy to apply, requiring just 1 coat. Wood toned stain slightly darkens wood when first applied, leaving a flat and translucent finish. The finish then slowly weathers with time to a natural wood hue, depending upon the color of product chosen and the particular wood type on which it was applied. Cabot wood toned deck and siding stain is for use on new or reconditioned wood only, including decks, siding, roofs, shingles, shakes, trim, and on log homes. It may be applied to all natural wood species such as cedar, fir, pine, cypress, spruce, redwood, and plywood, including Texture 1 11, and will produce outstanding results on all premium grade lumber. It can also be applied to weathered pressure treated wood. Apply evenly with a brush or spray, using a high quality, natural bristle brush. Do not spray on decks or other horizontal surfaces. If you must spray on siding or vertical surfaces, always back brush immediately after each section. On smooth surfaces, approximately 400 sq. ft. to 600 sq. ft. per gallon; on rough surfaces, 200 sq. ft. to 300 sq. ft. per gallon. VOC compliant in most restricted territories.
