SALVAGE: Reactive Stain

STAIN COLOR: SALVAGE

SALVAGE Stain is a reactive wood stain and creates shades of browns & grays, with color results based on wood species. Salvage is not a pigmented stain, but instead will bring out the wood's existing natural beauty and colors. That means your end color is a result of the type of wood you're using!
SALVAGE can be applied 3 different ways.

For a light color, apply the stain and wipe it back off.
For a medium color, drench the wood and allow the oak to absorb the stain, turning gray/brown as it dries.
For a darker look, apply multiple coats of stain to get just the right shade.

It is both an Interior and Exterior stain, suitable for high tannin woods, veneers, & reclaimed wood:

EXTERIOR WATERPROOFER should be applied. Topcoat with Weatherwood Exterior Wood Sealer
INTERIORS where someone will touch the wood need a topcoat, especially floors, cabinetry and furniture. Seal with your favorite Weatherwood Stains topcoat. [link]
