What is the difference between Weathered Wood Finish™ and Eco-Safe Wood Treatment™?

Eco-Safe Wood Treatment™ and Weathered Wood Finish™ are similar formulations tweaked specifically for their differing purposes. Weathered Wood Finish™ contains more colour-enriching elements, allowing artists, designers, and crafters to be able to play with layering and deepening the stain, and also with detail work, while Eco-Safe Wood Treatment™ contains a greater ratio of protectant elements to colour-enriching elements, for larger projects like fences and decks that will have more exposure to the outdoor elements like UV and rain, which help with deepening colour and unifying coverage.

How long does the staining effect of Weathered Wood Finish™ last?

Weathered Wood Finish™ penetrates into wood fibers and reacts with the natural tannins in the wood for a stain that will never fade, peel or flake off. The finish lasts for the lifetime of the wood.

What colour stain does Weathered Wood Finish™ give the wood?

Darkening and silvering of treated wood is the beautiful result of this unique product. Different wood species will respond with slightly different final colors, ranging from light or dark silvery gray to light or dark silvery brown. The product provides a silver to brown patina depending on wood type, with a soft sheen that instantly imparts an elegant, aged finish.

This stain is ideal for artificially aging wood, to weather or beautify, or match repairs to older wood.
