Overview:
Penofin’s Pressure Treated Formula contains sustainably harvested Brazilian Rosewood Oil to give the wood a natural tone and texture. Suitable for all types of pressure treated wood. Pressure Treated Penofin is formulated to restore the beautiful wood tones homeowners want. It comes in three natural tones: Rainier, Yosemite, and Tahoe. It penetrates pressure-treated wood like no other stain. Brazilian Rosewood Oil penetrates and stabilizes the wood fibers for control of carcinogenic releases, as stated by the environmental protection agency. They recommend using a deep, low-solid, penetrating oil finish.
Surface Preparation:
New wood can be dirty from transport & construction, and mill glaze could be present. For prep we recommend the First Step Prep to lightly clean the wood and remove the mill glaze from the surface. Old bare wood should be cleaned using the Pro-Tech Cleaner #2. If greying or discoloration is present, follow the cleaner with the ProTech Brightener #3. If wood has been previously treated with a nonPenofin product, it’s recommended to chemically strip the wood with an
Acrylic stripper, followed by the Pro-Tech Cleaner #2 and Pro-Tech Brightener #3.
Application:
Stir product thoroughly before and during application. Apply at temperatures between 45°F & 80°F. Penofin is stable under freeze/thaw conditions. For optimum performance bring the stain to room temperature before application. Do not apply if the wood is hot to the touch. Using a brush, stain pad, or plastic pump sprayer apply a liberal coat to the wood. Protect any adjacent areas you do not wish to stain by tarping or masking the area off.
Penofin is a penetrating oil finish and will penetrate any porous surface. All Penofin 20-30 minutes to penetrate into the wood. This step is important as it allows the finish to coat the individual fibers of the wood, protecting your investment from the inside out. After 20-30 minutes wipe the surface thoroughly with clean non-lint cloths to remove any excess finish.
If using the 2 coat (550 VOC formula), wait a minimum of 4 hours before applying a second light coat of Penofin. Again after 20-30 minutes wipe the surface thoroughly to remove any excess finish. Penofin is a penetrating finish and is not a surface coating. Failure to wipe will allow the finish to dry on the surface of the wood and will result in a tacky finish.
Maintenance:
Keep the wood clean, free of debris or standing water for long periods of time. Twice yearly, clean the surface with Penofin Pro-Tech Cleaner Step 2. Follow with Penofin Pro-Tech Brightener Step 3, if wood has grayed or started to darken. Allow the wood to dry and simply coat any areas that might show wear or tear from furniture, weather or foot traffic with another light application of Penofin.
