A product that can decrease the most expensive part of his bid, the labor factor. Wet Wood Stain is made in CLEAR and five ready mix colors so there is no tinting which may vary the shade of the product if it were tinted on two different machines. The product can be applied with a brush, roller or sprayer and not lap on the surface. Product penetrates soft, hard and composite boards. Product clean up is with soapy warm water. Overspray of the product will not harm plants. The product is made with UV-resistant pigments and contains the best fungicide/bacteria resistant chemicals on the market. Both of these features give the stain the ability to last longer on surfaces than other products. The product can be applied successfully to wet surfaces that have had puddles of water removed. This allows the contractor to clean a surface and apply the stain in the same day without having to wait for the surface to dry. In most situations the labor on the job will cost more per square foot than the product. When the contractor does not have to pay labor to make an extra trip on the job, he can finish the job faster, less expensively and do more jobs in a season because of this to make more money. If there is rain in the morning product can still be applied when it stops. Page 2
For contractors who use oil based solvent products to prestain wood for decking, siding, doors, fencing and log homes, Wet Wood Stain dries faster than oil based competitors. When Wet Wood Stain is sprayed on wood it will dry in a warehouse with moving air within five hours depending on the humidity and temperature maintained in the facility. The product has been tested to dry in 4.5 hours with no blocking and does not need wax paper to be able to stack on pallets. Quicker stacking time lets the applicator stain more product and make more money with Wet Wood Stain. Most oil base products can not be stacked for twelve hours and still need wax paper. Wet Wood Stain being available in pre-mixed colors takes the issue of shade difference that occurs with machine tinted colors out of the equation. This gives the applicator less down time and lost labor time due to tinted product variances. Pre-mixed colors save the company expense of tinting your current alternatives. Wet Wood Stain can be provided in custom mixed colors from the factory on a special order basis, as long as they can be made with trans oxide pigments. Wet Wood Stain CLEAR gives the applicator a transparent finish to use on expensive wood that will protect it from the sun and bacteria. Page 3

It is a blended oil product that is a mix of highly flexible linseed oil and tough tung oil. These oils penetrate all wood surfaces, both hard and soft woods. How does Wet Wood Stain cut project time? The Wet Wood Stain can be applied on a wet surface once puddles are removed with a squeegee. The oils will penetrate the wet wood and cure as the water evaporates. This allows the contractor to clean and coat the surface in one day instead of cleaning one day, wait for the surface to dry thoroughly and then stain on the second day. Our product has a dry time for re-coating of 4 hours. This may vary based on weather conditions, humidity and temperature. Page 7
What are facts about trans-oxide pigments? Trans oxide pigments are extremely effective UV light absorbers and blockers that, because of their sub-micron size, provide dynamic color to wood finishes. They allow the natural beauty of the wood to be seen. Excellent weather resistance Excellent color retention Prevents fade with exposure to light How are all of the colors in the line resistant to fade? Trans-oxide pigments allows for a semi-transparent stain to be made while still providing UV protection. Protection from the sun with our CLEAR finish is the latest technology in nano science. The first element we use to protect the wood from harmful rays is one you are very familiar with, as it is used in many sunscreens, zinc oxide. The zinc oxide in the CLEAR also helps protect the wood from fungal and mold attack, along with our normal fungal and mold preventative package. Why does the semi-transparent Wet Wood Stain resist mold and fungus growth better than the rest of the products? Wonder Wood Stain utilizes unique ingredients specifically designed to resist mold and fungus growth. Product has been tested by third party labs and the results show Wonder Wood Page 8
