What is Wet Wood Friendly?

IN-WOOD Stain is Wet Wood Friendly because damp wood will not adversely affect application. In fact, wetting the wood slightly, two hours prior to application, can actually improve penetration.

But everybody knows that oil and water don't mix...?

True, but by wetting the wood surface slightly prior to application, the wood grain will open up and allow for greater absorption. A cooler wood surface temperature will also help IN-WOOD Stain to dry more slowly and improve the long-term finish.

While this level of versatility is unique within the industry, there are limitations to how wet the wood can be. If the wood is obviously "soggy" and water damaged, we recommended that it be replaced.

As with all wood stains, rain falling on the treated surface during or immediately after application may result in a less than desirable finish. You should avoid applying IN-WOOD Stain if your local weather forecasts rain within 24 hours after application.

  
IN-WOOD STAIN
(Solvent base)

IN-WOOD utilizes state of the art wood protection technology in combining the highest quality oils with microscopic Trans-Oxide pigments, allowing maximum penetration for long term performance. Trans-Oxide pigments, at approximately .01 micron, are 1/15 the size of standard paint or stain pigments. These Trans-Oxide pigments allow for superior penetration and ultraviolet protection. The UV transmission is reduced to nearly 5% compared to the 50-65% transmission of common pigments found in semitransparent stains. A natural version is also available for maintaining wood in its present or natural state.



BASIC USES
New as well as old or weathered wood can be stained and weatherproofed with IN-WOOD. Cedar roofing can be maintained mildew free. Wood decking can be preserved without worry of peeling. Virtually any wood surface, interior as well as exterior, can be enhanced with the protective qualities of IN-WOOD.

IN-WOOD is also an excellent choice for the protection of wood docks* and planking. The microbicides used in the formulation are not classified as carcinogenic. The cured IN-WOOD penetrant will not release toxic chemicals into lakes, rivers or other waterways.

TYPICAL PROPERTIES

5. Weight per Gallon:
6. Dry Time:

71% (±1) [ASTM D 2369]
67% (±1) [ASTM D 2697]
5-10 cps [ASTM D 2196]
110°F [ASTM D 3278]
7.3 lbs.(±0.2) [ASTM D 1475]
4-8 hours at 75°F, 50% R.H. [ASTM D 1640]

ADVANTAGES
  1. Deep Penetration: Ultra low viscosity allows IN-WOOD to penetrate into pores and micro-openings within the wood.
  2. Repels Water: Exceeds military specification MIL TT-W-572 for water repellency. Prevents damage from water and subsequent effect on fiber breakdown from winter freeze-thaw cycles.
  3. High Solids or Natural: Trans-Oxide colors block out harmful UV rays, preventing degradation of the wood fibers. Natural also contains an ultraviolet absorber to invisibly protect the wood fibers.
  4. High Solids: IN-WOOD’S 34% solids content by volume can be compared to the 5% to 12% solids found in most natural wood preservatives.
  5. Mold Protection: Prevents unsightly discoloration caused by Trichoderma, Gliocladium, and Penicillium surface mold as well as discoloration from green or black mycelia spores.
  6. Sapstain Protection: Prevents discoloration produced from sapstain fungi hyphase which ranges from gray to blue.
  7. Wood Decay Protection: Prevents decay caused by enzymatic decomposition of the cell wall constituents by Chaetomium Globosum, Coniophora Putean and Poria Incrassata fungi.
  8. Resistance to Sulfide Staining: Industrial areas containing sulfide fumes will darken ordinary finishes. IN-WOOD is not affected by sulfide fumes.


*PRECAUTIONS
When applying IN-WOOD to an existing dock or other marine application, utilize a brush or roller to apply the material rather than spray equipment. Every attempt should be made to prevent the solvents contained in IN-WOOD from entering the water.

NOTE: All color samples approximate actual stain colors as accurately as possible. All woods, regardless of Species, will vary in grain and color from one piece of wood to another. Therefore, a sample brushout on a trial area is suggested before proceeding with entire job. These are intended for use as a GENERAL COLOR GUIDE ONLY.
