Vermont Natural Coatings Exterior Penetrating Stain with PolyWhey technology is a low-odor, durable, element-repelling, semi-transparent stain and topcoat for wood siding, decks, fences, furniture, and other outdoor wood surfaces. It may be used on new, pressure-treated and weathered wood.
The natural strength of whey protein makes Vermont Natural Coatings Exterior Penetrating Stain a protective, environmentally safe finish for all exterior wood applications. It is non-toxic, has low odor and contains no biocides, fungicides or anti-microbial agents. The pigments act as a natural UV inhibitor.
By using recycled whey protein, Vermont Natural Coatings eliminates the need for heavy metal driers, toxic co-binders and carcinogenic solvents typically found in wood finishes. The whey used in this product is a natural by-product of the cheese-making process used by Vermont farmers. It surpasses every national, regional, state and county air quality regulation.
Apply with brush, paint pad, or spray. Two coats are recommended. Recoat in one hour under normal conditions. Under normal conditions treated wood will be fully cured in 48 hours. One gallon will cover approximately 200-400 sq. ft. depending on porosity of wood. Colors include: Caspian Clear, Autumn Red, Lakeside Cedar, Acorn Brown, and Sterling Gray.
NOTE: Not recommended for use over super dense woods such as Teak, Ipe or Garapa/Brazilian Ash.
We've tested dozens of exterior sealers over the past 20 years to find one that will hold up to Iowa weather; hot/damp in summer and cold/dry in winter. We've been selling oil based products for exterior use only because we have not felt confident that a water-based product would perform well — until now. Vermont's Exterior Stain/Sealer holds up under intense direct sun, lots of rain, snow and anything Mother Nature can throw at it. While no stain/sealer will hold up forever under these conditions, this is the best non-toxic product we have found so far.

Application Instructions
Surface Preparation: Hammer down any raised nails. Sand with the grain to completely remove old finishes. Be sure surface is thoroughly cleaned and dried. Do not apply if precipitation is expected within 48 hours. Warning! If you scrape, sand, or remove old paint, you may release lead dust. LEAD IS TOXIC. EXPOSURE TO LEAD DUST CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ILLNESS, SUCH AS BRAIN DAMAGE, ESPECIALLY IN CHILDREN. PREGNANT WOMEN SHOULD ALSO AVOID EXPOSURE. Wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to control lead exposure. Clean up carefully with a HEPA vacuum and a wet mop. Before you start, find out how to protect yourself and your family by contacting the National Lead Information Hotline at 1-800-424-LEAD or log onto www.epa.gov/lead. Application: 1) Stir thoroughly prior to use. 2) Test the stain on a sample piece of wood or less visible area of surface to be finished. 3) Apply with brush, paint pad, foam brush or spray. Do not thin. Thinning will result in reduced product performance. Apply an even coat with the grain. Maintain a wet edge. Coat the end grain of all exposed boards. 4) Two coats are recommended. Apply second coat in one hour in normal conditions. Do not sand between coats. 5) Apply when air and surface temperatures are between 50°-80°F and relative air humidity of 40%-60%. Drying/Curing: Under normal conditions treated wood will be fully cured in 48 hours. One gallon will cover approximately 200-400 sq. ft. depending on porosity of wood. Cleanup and Storage: Wipe excess stain from lip of container with a clean cloth prior to sealing. Brushes and other equipment can be cleaned with warm water.
