Transformation Log & Timber Flex Tint Log Stain by Sashco allows for custom tinting! Use the equivelent of one full catridge of color per 5 gallon pail or 1/5 per 1 gallon pail i.e. you could mix half of one color with half of another for a custom 5 gallon color. If making a custom color keep in mind you are in charge of the final color. And box box box to ensure a consistent color every time.
USE ONLY Transformation Flex Tint Color Cartridges with Transformation Flex Tint Bases below. Inject color cartridge(s) with a quart size caulk gun and mix completely with a drill driven paddle mixer (3-5 minutes or until evenly dispersed) at the jobsite. Do not use Flex Tint base without adding color, even as a maintenance coat - the UV protection is primarily in the color cartridges. Do not add Flex Tint colors to other products.

| Surface Prep: |
It will adhere to almost any surface that is properly prepped.

For Restoration: From left to right, the spindles show previously stained, weathered wood, the preparation steps and 2 coats each of Transformation color on the extreme right of each spindle. The "Natural" spindle has 3 coats because lighter colored stains have less pigmentation, they don't hold up as well to UV degradation so 3 coats of Natural color are required.
 For New Construction: The wood samples show 2 coats of Transformation low VOC on "New Construction" wood - wood that has no previous coatings. |
