Ready Seal is a genuine semi-transparent stain and seal that penetrates, providing protection on vertical surfaces up to 5 years
and up to 4 years on horizontal surfaces inhibiting moisture with natural resins and some of the finest oils in the industry;
mildewcide-fungicide protection; and UV protection with our trans-oxide pigments. When applying on weathered wood,
cleaning will be required, using only household bleach and water applied for 15 minutes, then rinsed with a garden hose. Next,
follow with two light coats or one heavy coat.
This process will not suffice for film-forming paint stains. This film-forming coating must be stripped before they can be reapplied,
thus experiencing a very labor-intensive and expensive process. Coatings crack and peel as the wood expands and contracts with
temperature and humidity changes and must be totally removed with a paint
stripper before re-application.
