This is our Original Finish with both a UV inhibitor and mildewcide added for extra protection in the weather. It can be sprayed, brushed or ragged on for use anywhere in the home but we recommend it primarily for exterior use. Exterior Finish is great for large timbers, logs, siding, decks or any outdoor furniture, trim or wood elements. A well applied exterior finish will bead water, yet still allow the wood to breathe and dry out when needed. Unlike most surface finishes, you can re-apply Heritage Natural Finishes each year if needed, without stripping off the old finish first.
Coverage:
Approx. 350 square feet per gallon or 500 board feet per gallon; rough-sawn materials tend to absorb more. You get less coverage on the first coat and more on the second. You also get more coverage on harder wood species versus softer species like pine. How wet the wood is will also vary the coverage numbers as well.
Clean Up:
For spills, over spray, or to clean up brushes, use our Pure Citrus Solvent or other solvent (Turpentine, Mineral Spirits, etc.).
*For additional protection against insects, consider treating all wood with a borate solution before oiling.
