Only one coat is needed with this quality product that begins protecting wood with the first application.

Woodguard Pre-tints
Woodguard pre-tints offer the convenience of a pre-tinted color option. It is formulated with trans-oxide pigments for excellent control of UV (ultra violet) fading from the sun. To ensure even distribution of pigment, stir frequently
during use.
Machine Tints
Original Clear WOODguard, Honey Base or Honey 2000 may be used as a base for pigmenting with machine colorants. Our three standard machine colors (Honey, Cypress and Pecan) will appear similar, but somewhat “brighter” in the pre-tints than if mixed into clear WOODguard. Consult your dealer for assistance in custom tinting Woodguard. Always "box" colors when using buckets with pigmentation to assure uniformity of color.
