Description:
Organiclear™ IWF-A is a "high solids", interior wood finish specially blended to protect the beauty of walls and woodwork. IWF-A provides a natural, non-glossy finish while allowing the oils and resins to penetrate the wood fibers and bring out the natural-grain beauty. The finish reduces excessive drying and prevents splintering, blistering, peeling or cracking. The microporous finish allows wood to breathe to insure that moisture doesn't get trapped in the walls. Wood surfaces finished with IWF-A are resistant to stains and scratches. Organiclear's™ IWF-A offers many of the same characteristics as IWF-P, with the added benefit of being tolerant to limited outdoor application such as garden furniture.

Stain Application Tips:
- Plan to stain when the forecast is predicting
good weather that will extend 1-2 days after the stain has been applied.
- The moisture content of
wood should not exceed 19%.
- Log surfaces must
be sound and clean from dirt, pollen and
other surface contaminants.
- Surface prep should be done no
more than 1-2 weeks before stain is applied. Media blasting and other
dry prep methods are best, but power washing can work if done properly
and the wood is allowed to dry.
- Apply
to log surfaces with a temperature range of 40°F (4°C) and rising to
90°F (32°C) and falling.
- Do not apply to surfaces in direct
intense sunlight, since the surfaces can be too hot.
- If your home is in an area of high humidity, add additional mildewcides to the stain. Call us for recommendations.
- Mix
together pails that may have different lot numbers; this will help
ensure uniformity of color. Stir thoroughly to mix all pigments evenly,
and stir the stain periodically throughout application.
- Brushing the stain into your wood will help promote better adhesion thus giving your stain more durability.
- Spraying your stain followed by brushing is a good way to speed up the process. It is important to flood the surface of your wood while spraying.

to clean problem areas. Fill any holes with a quality wood filler to
match the wall color. Prior to use, stir well and do not dilute the
formulation. Routinely stir during application.
