5-Gallon Eco Friendly Non Toxic Lifetime Wood Treatment Pouch

Absolutely works as described. Looks great. Easy to apply. Quickly changes color.

Worked exactly as described and better than hoped for. Wood on fence looks aged, but wood grain is visible and beautiful. Very happy with purchase.

Of course, we won't know if it works for 20 or 30 years; but, the reviews are good. They don't encourage using any of the NaCl cleaners before using the preservative. I had some logs already cleaned; so, I let it dry before using the Treatment. I then used it on logs that had not been cleaned with NaCl; they came out the same. So there! I was treating white pine; it developed a fairly uniform brownish gray. Really nice. Will not stain them.

I don't often write reviews unless I find a product that is extremely good or exceedingly bad. In this case, the product I used was exceptionally good. I built thirteen 4ftx16ft raised garden beds using Douglas Fir 2"x10" sides and a 2"x4" top rail. The raw wood was pinkish in color and I was a bit skeptical I'd achieve a natural looking color. There were also some sun-faded wood in the mix. I applied the material using a sprayer and it went on very easy. The only negative was the tiny particles in the dye mix would clog up the sprayer nozzle. I ended up having to stop and strain the entire 5 gallons of mixture using a paint strainer "sock" to remove all the fine material used in the dye. Once removed, it went on as if you were spraying weeds with a liquid weed killer. I started dying the bottom and inside first. I applied two coats. After that I flipped each garden bed and applied two coats to the outside and top rail. After waiting a bit of time, all of the wood gradually changed to a brown/greyish/olive color. To my amazement, the color came out absolutely beautiful. It essentially turned the wood into a uniform, natural color that was very appealing to the eye and natural surroundings. It reminded me of wood that might be used in the old mines. The wood was new but the finish made it looked like it was distressed and aged, which is what I wanted. I ended up buying four of the 5 gallon mixes to really coat and penetrate the wood. I'd definitely buy this product again, especially knowing it is non-toxic and doesn't affect the fruits and vegetables that we will be planting next .

I'm writing this review because Amazon has sent me 2 requests to do so. I used this on two bee hives that I built this winter out of cedar. I put them out in early May and now it's only June, so I don't feel I can give much on the longevity of this product. Which is probably why your reading this! Thus far it is holding it's color and seems to help water proof the hives. I liked the finished color of the hives. It didn't change a ton, but did darken it up a bit. I will update this later this year.

Applied to untreated hemlock porch walls, railings and supports with a 1 gallon pump sprayer. Within a few weeks it changed the wood from almost white to the most beautiful rustic gray-brown patina. It looks like it’s been there for years, which is exactly what I wanted. I am completely in love with this product!

I know it sounds expensive, but it certainly does the job, and quickly. As important as the protection is, I like the way it made my basic inexpensive studs look far more richer. I would absolutely buy this again.

Did a great job of cleaning the cedar siding.
