Protect and preserve interior and exterior wood against rot, mould, algae, fungal growth, insect attack and more with these treatments and woodworm killers.Clean the Surface: Once you have an open grain, wipe the surface with a clean cloth to remove any loose dust or debris. This fun little product takes very little (I’ve used this can for two projects and still have more) and goes on super fast. Overcoat with a clear wax polish for a more durable finish, or a finishing oil for a water resistant finish. It’s a particularly effective tool when applied to woods with a prominent grain structure, as it makes the grain patterns stand out in a striking way.
