You can use this product over raw/unsealed wood and that wood will continue to look raw and unsealed and act like raw and unsealed wood (greying and aging naturally) in every instance except when water is applied to the surface it will bead up as opposed to soaking into the wood.As it has this waterproofing ability, it will resist mold. But on the flip side, as this is a zero VOC product, it contains zero biocides or fungicides.As you are working with reclaimed lumber, we advise you get a sample to test first. The challenge of working with reclaimed is you don't know what it's been treated or coated with in the past. This product will not work if applied to a wooden surface that has already been coated or saturated with another product.
