Penofin Transparent Matte Redwood Oil-Based Penetrating Wood Stain 1 gal delivers serious protection for exterior wood without hiding its natural character. This oil-based penetrating stain is designed to soak into every fiber, creating a weather-ready barrier that guards against UV exposure while letting the wood’s grain and warmth show through in a sophisticated Redwood hue with a true matte finish. Why this Penetrating Stain stands out
-
Deep, inside-out protection. The oil-based formula penetrates wood fibers, reducing surface cracking and checking by allowing for natural expansion and contraction with the seasons.
-
Transparent, natural look. A Redwood tint that enhances grain without creating a thick film or plastic sheen—perfect for decks, fences, siding, and outdoor furniture that deserve to look like real wood.
-
Matte, non-glossy finish. Subtle, understated sheen that hides minor imperfections and preserves a timeless outdoor aesthetic.
-
UV resistance for longevity. Special UV protection helps slow color fade and graying from sun exposure, keeping outdoor wood looking richer longer.
-
Easy to apply with multiple tools. Brush, stain pad, or plastic pump sprayer give you flexible options for large surfaces or detailed work.
-
Generous coverage. Approximately 300–400 sq ft per gallon, depending on wood type and porosity, so you’ll cover decks, fences, or siding efficiently with this 1 gal container.
-
Practical recoat timing. Recoat in about 4 hours when the surface is dry to the touch, helping you complete projects faster without long waits.
-
Environmentally conscious label. Formulated with a VOC level of 250, balancing performance with regulatory considerations.
-
Not tintable; consistent Redwood result. Don’t worry about color drift—this product comes in a fixed Redwood tone for predictable, repeatable results.
Who this is for
- Homeowners and DIYers refinishing exterior wood surfaces who want a stain that protects from the elements while preserving wood’s natural grain and texture.

- Anyone seeking a straightforward, one-gallon solution that provides deep penetration and long-lasting color without forming a thick film. How it behaves and what it solves
- Penetrating oil-based formulations reduce the risk of peeling and cracking common with film-forming finishes, especially on wood surfaces that flex with weather.
- The transparent Redwood tone adds warmth and character while letting the wood’s natural beauty shine through.
- UV resistance slows color fade, helping your investment stay beautiful year after year without frequent touch-ups. Usage guidance in a nutshell
- Surface prep matters: start with clean, dry, sound wood. Remove peeling finishes and any contaminants for even penetration.
- Application options: brush, stain pad, or plastic pump sprayer for large areas—choose the method that fits your project size and texture.
- Recoating: plan for a recoat after roughly 4 hours once the surface is dry to the touch to maintain even color and protection.
- Drying and curing: allow adequate drying time between coats and follow label directions for outdoor use conditions to ensure best results.
- Maintenance: inspect periodically and reapply when the color begins to fade or water no longer beads, especially in high sun or heavy weather zones.
- Cleanup and safety: follow the product label for cleanup and safety instructions. Practical tips for best results
- Work in moderate conditions with dry wood to maximize penetration and color uniformity.
- Apply in consistent, even strokes to avoid lap marks and ensure uniform color depth.
- For larger areas, use a pump sprayer to speed up the initial application, then back-brush to work the stain into the wood and reduce pooling.
- Store and handle the gallon container per label recommendations to maintain product performance over time.
