Cabot® wood toned deck and siding stain is specially formulated with a unique blend of resin and oil to provide a great natural finish for bare wood. This distinctive product comes in five natural tones that not only sustains the natural beauty of exterior wood, it also provides excellent wood penetrating protection against the sun and all damaging weather elements. It's water-repellent, to keep moisture out and guard against warping and checking, plus it's mildew-resistant. Easy to apply requiring just one-coat, Cabot® wood toned deck and siding stain slightly darkens wood when first applied leaving a flat and translucent finish. The finish then slowly weathers with time to a natural wood hue depending upon the color of product chosen and the particular wood type on which it was applied.
