STAIN COLOR: SALVAGE

Step 1: Create the Patina

Salvage develops warm browns with gray tones through controlled tannin oxidation, bringing out each wood's natural beauty and character. Industrial quality suitable for commercial use. Final tone varies by wood species and application method.

Technical Details


Part of the Weatherwood Finishing System

Step 1 — Create the Patina
Step 2 — Refine with Maintenance Oil (optional tonal adjustment)
Step 3 — Protect with Architectural Topcoat


Performance Overview

Designed for consistent results across professional applications and production environments.

  • Water-based reactive formulation
  • Non-film forming
  • Develops color through tannin reaction rather than surface pigment
  • Compatible with Weatherwood architectural topcoats
  • Suitable for professional application and production environments


Application Methods

Wipe Application — lighter, more controlled aging
Spray Application — efficient, even coverage in production environments
Flood / Saturation — deeper tonal development and richer character
Multiple Coats — increased density and darker finish

Tone continues to develop during drying.


Compatible Substrates

Because Weatherwood reacts with natural tannins, final color will vary based on species density and composition. Sample testing is recommended prior to production or specification.

Suitable for use on:

  • Hardwoods
  • Softwoods
  • Veneers
  • Reclaimed lumber
  • Pressure-treated lumber
  • Most tannin-bearing species

Intended Use

For interior and exterior applications.

Protect the finish with Weatherwood Architectural Topcoats:


Coverage

Available in Quart, Gallon, and 5-Gallon containers.

Quart — 100 sq ft
Gallon — 400 sq ft
