|
|
Manufacturer: Eco Wood
Availability: In-Stock
Shipping Time: 3-5 Business Days
Type of Stain: Water Based
Description:
Eco Wood Treatment is a powder composed of natural substances from plants and minerals. It contains no solvents and leaves no harmful residue in water or soil. It is safe to use on log homes, wood siding, retaining walls, or any structure that penetrates into the soil or into the water. EcoWood Treatment will not wear off, will not fade, nor will it peel. Unlike other sealers and stains, Eco Wood Treatment migrates and covers the exposed wood as cracking occurs. In addition, the wood's natural beauty is enhanced. For example, Fir wood will show a hue of dark brown to olive brown. Cedar wood will show a hue of dark brown to reddish brown. After applying Eco Wood Treatment, it begins to penetrate deep into the fibers of the wood and eventually will enhance the natural wood color with a silver patina. Eco Wood Treatment can also be tinted at any local store.

Application Tips:
- Just mix with water. Some particles may not dissolve completely, and this is normal. Stir occasionally during use to maintain proper solution.
- Apply to bare, untreated or pressure treated wood using normal application methods – brush, roller, dipping or spraying. To maximize the infusion of substances from the herbal components in Eco Wood Treatment allow the solution to sit for 5 – 10 minutes after mixing, even overnight.
- For spray application, strain the mix through a coffee filter paper or similar to prevent particles blocking the nozzle. A good quality pressure garden sprayer is suitable for application.
- Ensure that all wood surfaces are completely wet, especially end grains, fresh cuts and open cracks. Some types of wood surfaces will show no immediate visible change in colour. This is normal. For increased penetration, and to ensure a uniform rate of application, wood can be immersed in Eco Wood Treatment for a few minutes, with the excess then being allowed to drain off.
- For posts and other wood that will be in contact with the ground allow to soak in triple strength solution for 3 or more days. A shallow tray can be constructed using building polythene with a timber surround, for soaking timber lengths or to catch run-off during application. The bottom end of posts can be soaked by standing them in a blanked off plastic pipe for single posts or a suitable sized drum for multiples. Eco solution remaining in the tray or drum can be used for other application such as treating timber cut ends during construction. Remaining 'ground contact' solution should be diluted to standard solution before reuse.
- Eco treated wood is best allowed to dry completely (1 - 2 days) before being exposed to water, including rain, so as to maximize its affinity with the wood fibers.
