It contains no solvents and no chemicals.  The natural weathering process results in high UV protection.  Eco Wood Stain is safe to use around children and in playgrounds/play areas. Eco Wood Stain is a non toxic wood preservative.

 

Q.  Is Eco Wood Stain truly maintenance-free?

A.  Yes, it is the only wood treatment formula known to actually increase its effectiveness as it ages.  One application is all that's needed for decades of beautifully preserved wood.  Eco Wood Stain will migrate with cracking and checking in order to penetrate newly exposed wood.  It will not cause the wood to crack nor create checking in the wood.

 

Q. Is Eco Wood Stain easy to use?

A.  Definitely. Simply mix the powder with water.  Apply it with a brush, sprayer, or roller directly onto the wood surface.  Be sure to cover the entire wood surface.  As the wood begins to dry, finger and footprints will disappear.  After the application, occasional cleaning with soap and water will keep the wood clean. Eco Wood Stain is a easy wood treatment/wood stain to use. No chemical cleaners or bio washes should be used on the wood before application.

 

Q.  How do I store the remaining product?

A.  Store remaining, unused powder on the shelf in a dry location.  It should last avery long time.  After the product has been mixed with water, store the remaining liquid in a sealed jar.  To increase the shelf life of the liquid, it will need to be mixed with distilled water.  It will then last a long time.  Still, it is best to carefully determine the amount of product needed by measuring the size of the product and mixing an exact amount or a little less than is needed.  This helps to avoid storing the liquid, as the powder has a longer shelf life.

 

Q.  Can I apply tints, stains, or sealers over Eco Wood Stain?

A.  Yes, but stains and sealers are not recommended.  Tints are recommended if a particular color is desired. Simply add 5 ounces of any water based tint to 1 gallon of Eco Wood Stain.
