can not recall). This darkens the wood and protects it for up to two
years. Not as durable as paint, but it never peels and very easy to

and the finish almost makes the redwood look new again. The furniture
is about 15 years old, still sturdy and looking very good.

I hate gray wood. Keep up the good work, Phishy.
