www.woodsfinish.net
This unique water carried formula of natural oils and resins will penetrate deep into your roof or
wall wood shakes providing lasting beauty and protection. WOODS™ Shake Oil Treatment absorbs
easily into dry & porous wood supplying a rich emulsion of Natural oils, powerful UV Absorbers and
mold and mildew fighting Fungicides that beautify, nourish and protect wood shakes and any old
porous wood surfaces.
One treatment may more than double the life of an untreated roof and restored wood shakes
can even outlast the average new installation - with proper maintenance, they can last indefinitely.
WOODS™ Shake Oil Treatment is designed to protect your Cedar or Pine shakes yet still leave
wood looking natural with an infinite range of semi-transparent tinting possibilities.
It's environmentally friendly, non-flammable and has easy soap and water clean up, add to that our
easy - wash, dry & reapply - formula for painless maintenance and we think you'll agree it's a smart
choice for your family, your planet and your wood.
Prepare
Surface must be dry and free of contaminants such as TSP, acids, wax, rust, dirt, oil/grease, fungi, mold, etc.
Use WOODS™ Exterior Wood Wash to properly clean and condition your wood and follow with WOODS™ Final
Wash before staining, if required, to neutralize any acid bleach residue. Applying WOODS™ Final Wash before
staining will also block tannins from bleeding through clear finishes and stop water & rust markings.
Protect
• Apply 2 generous coats of WOODS™ Shake Oil Treatment to clean, dry, wood with a low pressure or
airless sprayer, allowing 24-72 hours of drying time between coats.
• On walls, work from the bottom up and back-brush excess to avoid runs & drips on untreated wood
• On roofs, work from the top down in a 4 to 5 ft swath, run-off into gutters can be cleaned with soap & water
• DO NOT APPLY IN DIRECT OVERHEAD SUNLIGHT • DO NOT APPLY TO WET OR HOT WOOD • DO NOT DILUTE
Preserve
Wash your project every year with clean water and a low pressure sprayer to remove seasonal debris and check
finish integrity. When it's time for a maintenance coat, just wash, dry & reapply. Simple.

WOODS™ Shake Oil Treatment - application tips & product info
Application Tips
• When applying with a low pressure or airless sprayer, ensure that a generous coating is supplied as they tend
to apply in a fine mist that does not provide enough product for lasting protection.
• Avoid application in direct sun or on hot, sunny days as product will evaporate too quickly on hot wood
• Apply after shakes are installed - dipping shakes prior to installation uses 4 times the amount of stain and
provides no additional benefits.
• Optimum application temperature is 15-20°C (59-68°F) DO NOT apply in temperatures below 5°C (41°F)
