The ultimate in deep penetrating Translucent exterior wood protection that allows the natural beauty of the wood's grain and texture to show through the stain. An exterior Oil /Alkyd hybrid Translucent stain formulated with the use of Transparent Iron Oxide pigments and Mildewcides for maximum longevity and performance. Low molecular weight plant-based oils provides maximum penetration whereas the alkyd component contributes wear resistance,toughness and durability. Formulated with fewer volatile solvents and additional mould & mildew inhibitors compared to conventional semi-transparent stains.

• Decks, patio, stairs
• Siding: wood, composite
• Stucco, cement
All surfaces to be stained must be clean, dry, free of dirt, mildew, algae or other contaminants that may affect the penetration of the Sharkskin into the wood surface. Remove mildew and algae using a Sharkskin Deck Cleaner. Rinse well. Any loose or flaking paint must be removed to expose bare wood. Use Sharkskin Deck Brightener or a pressure wash to expose new, clean wood surfaces. Allow to dry thoroughly. Moisture contents of woods or composites should be less than 14% as tested with a moisture meter. Repair /replace any damaged deck boards and re-set any popped nails or screws. Use polyethylene or other suitable dropsheets to protect surrounding plants and vegetation for cleaners from stain contact. Calculate the area to be stained and use the appropriate amount of product. Avoid painting in the hot sun. Work along the length of the deck boards to minimize the risk of lab marks.
