Why Should I Use Penetrol?
  • Penetrol helps keep Bug Juice properly mixed with oil based finishes.
  • Reduces brush drag; Increases penetration of finish.
  • Unlike thinner, does not evaporate and leave too thin a protective coating.
  • Makes Woodguard smoother, easier to apply, and maintains its inherent protective qualities and appearance.

How Do I Use Penetrol?

  • Mix a bottle (8-1/3 oz.) of Bug Juice with 20 ounces of Penetrol, then pour this mixture into a five gallon pail of Woodguard or other heavy oil based finish. For more details on using Bug Juice, click here.
  • Add a maximum of one quart of Penetrol per five gallon pail of Woodguard.
