Penofin Ultra Premium Transparent Cedar Oil-Based Penetrating Wood Stain is your outdoor cedar finishing solution that protects from the inside out while letting the natural grain shine through. This 1-gallon can is designed for exterior wood projects where you want enduring color without obscuring wood texture.
Why choose this formulation for cedar surfaces:
-
Oil-based, penetrating formula dives into the wood pores to deliver protection from within, helping to guard against the sun’s rays and the elements while maintaining a natural look.
-
Transparent cedar color preserves the wood’s character, revealing texture and grain rather than hiding it behind an opaque film.
-
UV resistant helps slow graying and sun damage on outdoor structures like decks, fences, siding, and pergolas.
-
No sealer required—this penetrating stain provides color and protection without needing an additional topcoat sealant.
-
Easy to apply with your choice of brush, stain pad, or a plastic pump sprayer for efficient long surfaces.
-
Generous coverage—approximately 300–400 square feet per gallon, depending on wood porosity and texture.
-
Recoat time is practical for busy schedules—reapply after about 3 hours to build and maintain protection.
-
Ideal for outdoor use on cedar projects, including decks, fences, siding, pergolas, and outdoor furniture, where you want durable color that lasts season after season.
-
Color family: Brown with a cedar tint that harmonizes with natural outdoor environments while keeping the finish understated and authentic.
-
VOC level: 550 reflects standard outdoor wood stain formulations designed for long-lasting performance in exterior settings.
Usage insights for best results:
- Prepare the wood surface by cleaning and allowing it to dry completely before application.
- Choose your application method—brush, stain pad, or plastic pump sprayer—for even coverage on larger areas.
- Apply a uniform coat to enhance penetration; a second coat can be added after the recommended 3-hour recoat window if you’re seeking deeper color or added protection.
- Allow ample cure time before exposure to heavy rain or direct use, following local weather guidelines for exterior finishes.
