PRESSURE-TREATED WOOD AND PENOFIN® WOOD STAIN
PENOFIN penetrating oil finishes are formulated to protect
pressure-treated wood, and to enhance the natural beauty of the wood which
may be masked by the pressure-treatment. Pressure-treated wood though desirable
for its long life usually has a greenish cast which makes its color undesirable.
Penofin solves this problem by competely covering this "green caste." Penofin's
entire color line brings a beauty to pressure-treated wood previously not
possible. As with all stains, test the color first to determine your preference.
Why should wood be pressure-treated?
According to the Southern Pine
Council,
"Wood is a readily available and economical building material and the
only one which comes from a renewable resource. However, wood products used
in contact with the ground or in high-moisture locations are subject to
attack by termites and microorganisms that promote decay. Under these conditions,
wood will be destroyed within four to seven years, in most cases.
Pressure treatment provides the protection needed to significantly prolong
the life of wood products assuring structural soundness and a long service
life. This process greatly reduces the amount of wood that would be required
to replace untreated wood structures damaged by decay or termites, thereby
extending our important forest resource. In fact, an estimated 6.5 billion
board feet of wood, or the equivalent of building 425,000 new homes, are
conserved each year by using pressure-treated wood products."

Follow Directions Closely
Clean wood surface free of dirt and sawdust build-up before application.
All prior coatings must be removed. Allow 48 hours drying time before
applying product.
Application: Use brush, sprayer, or stain pad. Wipe off excess after
30 minutes.
Application should be made with no chance of rain during process or
the following eight hours of drying time or spots may occur.
Do not apply product in direct sunlight or when the surface temperature
of the wood is HOT.
A minimum air temperature of 45° F is required during application and
drying time.
Avoid contact with metals, i.e. metal brushes and steel wool. Tannic
acid in cedar and redwood will have a chemical reaction that darkens the
wood.
Gallon Coverage: smooth surfaces 200 to 300 square feet. Rough surfaces 125 to 175 feet. Coverage may vary.
Maintenance
In well-traveled areas, keep the surface clean by washing occasionally
with a mild detergent. Cleanse surface thoroughly to reapply.
