Uses:
Cabot Semi-Solid® Stains are richly pigmented, deep penetrating
linseed oil-based stains that provide long lasting beauty and wood protection.
These unique stains provide greater hiding power than semi-transparent
stains, yet their attractive flat finish highlights the natural beauty
of the wood’s texture. With the extra pigmentation, Cabot Semi-Solid
Stains are extremely durable and help protect wood against the sun’s
damaging ultraviolet rays. They are also water-repellent and, when properly
applied, won’t crack, peel or blister. Cabot Semi-Solid Stains
are ideal for use on wood where hiding coverage is desired, yet penetrating
wood protection is needed. They also provide an outstanding value as
a one-coat finish for recoating previously semi-transparent stained
surfaces. Cabot Semi-Solid Stains can be used on most types of smooth
and rough exterior wood, including siding, shingles, log homes and roofs.
They provide excellent results on reconditioned weathered wood and well-seasoned
lumber such as cedar, fir, pine, cypress, spruce, redwood and plywood
panel siding.
