Recommended 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 waterrepellent and, when properly applied, won’t crack, peel or blister. Cabot Semi-Transparent Stains are for use on exterior wood siding, shingles, shakes 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.
