Unique blend of resin and oil provides a superior, natural finish for bare wood. Easy-to-apply stain slightly darkens wood when first applied, leaving a flat, translucent-toned finish, which weathers with time to a natural wood hue. For use on new or reconditioned exterior wood only, including decks, siding, fences, trim, shingles, shakes, and log homes. Clean brushes and equipment with soap and water. Covers approximately 250 to 350 sq. ft. (23 to 33 sq. m.) per gallon on smooth wood; approximately 100 to 200 sq. ft. (30 to 60 sq. m.) on rough wood.
