Recommended Uses:
Cabot Semi-Transparent Acrylic Stains combine the penetrating properties of traditional oil-based stains with the easy soapand- water clean-up of water-based finishes. These stains are specially formulated to provide long-lasting, vapor-permeable protection that beautifies and enriches exterior wood surfaces. Containing a special acrylic resin, these products are ideal for all types of natural wood siding, shingles, roofs and log homes. Superior ultra-violet protection is achieved through the use of non-fade, earth-tone pigments, in addition to a superior 100% acrylic resin. Semi-Transparent Acrylic Stains are formulated to weather slowly over time –without cracking, peeling or blistering. Cabot Semi-Transparent Acrylic Stains are formulated for application on new or properly reconditioned wood, including siding, shingles, shakes, fences, roofs and on log homes. These beautiful stains provide outstanding results on all natural wood species such as cedar, redwood, fir, pine, spruce and cypress, including pressure-treated wood and plywood panel siding. These stains may also be applied to new, unprimed fiber cement siding.
