Colorfast™ strengthens the glue that binds the wood cells together, called lignin, preventing yellowing of the underlying wood cells to help maintain a consistent color year after year. Before staining, Colorfast™ evens out wood porosity, creating a smoother surface for stain application and preventing over-absorption and a too-dark color. After staining, the lignin stabilizers prevent the wood underneath from getting sunburned, leaving the stain applied on top looking the same year after year. Colorfast delivers the ideal canvas for stain application and leaves behind the strong foundation necessary for long-lasting color.

    Features & Benefits

    Benefits
    • Keeps the color the color - Lignin (wood cell glue) stabilizers prevent yellowing and darkening of the wood itself overtime, which in turn prevent color shifts in the stain applied over top. Light colors stay light and darker colors don’t shift too dark.
    • Reduces blotchiness - Fills pores for a smoother surface and more even stain application. Great for blasted, rough-sawn, knotty pine, or milled logs.
    • Prevents picture-frame effect on interior wood - Apply on bare wood on the interior of the home and under Sashco’s Symphony® interior clear coat to avoid yellowing around wall decor.
    • Use under any sashco stain
    • Easier stain application - Greatly reduces the need to backbrush the stain applied over top.
    • Great as a log keeper coat - Prevents mold and yellowing due to UV damage on new wood as it moves from the mill to the job site and throughout construction. Contains both mildewcide and algaecide to help preserve the wood until it’s time to stain.
    • Seal those ends - When applied heavily on log ends, prevents over-penetration of stain and log ends that are darker than the rest of the logs.
