Lifeline Exterior Semi-Transparent Stain and Sealer
Lifeline Exterior is a semi-transparent finish that shades and highlights wood’s natural beauty. In addition to enhancing the splendour of your home, Lifeline Exterior provides a weather- resistant polymer film that allows logs to breathe and dry. This is especially important when staining green or partially dried logs.
Lifeline Exterior may be applied by brush, pad or spray. For best results use an airless sprayer and back-brush. We recommend that two coats of Lifeline Exterior be applied for maximum performance and colour development.
For extra UV protection add UV Boost - a concentrated water-based liquid stain additive for the first coat of stain. Highly pigmented stains last longer in intense sunlight. For best results and performance, apply Lifeline Advance immediately after Lifeline Exterior is dry or wait no more than 12 months to apply Lifeline Advance Gloss or Satin. Note: Do not use Advance Gloss over Ultra-2 Butternut, Gentry Grey or Stone Grey.
Lifeline Exterior’s ease of application makes it the perfect choice for the do-it-yourself log home-owner.
