Uses:
Cabot Semi-Transparent Stains are deep-penetrating, linseed oil-based
stains that beautify and protect exterior wood. These lightly-pigmented
stains enhance the natural beauty of the wood by allowing the grain,
texture and color variations within the wood to show through. They are
water repellent and, when properly applied, won’t crack, peel
or blister. Cabot Semi-
Transparent Stains are for use on exterior wood siding, shingles, shakes,
log homes and roofs. They are especially effective on rough-sawn surfaces,
and excellent results are obtained on premium grade lumber such as cedar,
fir, pine, cypress, spruce, redwood and plywood panel siding.
Composition:
Lightly pigmented, deep-penetrating, natural linseed oil-based stain.
Finish:
Dries to a natural, flat finish.
Coverage:
On smooth surfaces, approximately 400-600 square feet per gallon; on
