Penofin’s Hardwood wood stain penetrates into dense hardwoods to both nourish and stabilize your wood. Our unique formula penetrates deep into the woods fibers and will not create a surface film. Unlike high-solid wood stains that only coat the surface, Penofin’s Hardwood Finish (using sustainably harvested Brazilian Rosewood Oil), is the choice of wood experts and homeowners who know that penetration into the hardwood is key to longevity and beauty. Penofin allows your wood to breathe, which is important when working with exotic hardwoods such as Ipe, Tigerwood, Cumaru, Teak, Mahogany and many other species. Only Penofin Penetrating Oil Finish can meet the needs of your hardwood in fiber penetration, protection, nourishing and stabilizing.

Hardwood Application
Use a brush or sprayer. Brushing gives best results. Brush thoroughly and back brush Penofin into the wood leaving no excess. Wipe entire surface after 20-30 minutes with a nap-free cloth. Do not allow film to develop on wood surface. Apply when there is no chance of rain during the process or during the twelve-hour drying time. If rain occurs spots may develop on wood surfaces. Do not apply in direct hot sun! A minimum air temperature of 45° is required during application and drying time.
Repeat this application within 3-6 months and again within 10-12 months. Over time the wood fibers will become fully protected and maintenance will become less frequent. Product should be applied more often to horizontal areas and also areas with high ultra-violet exposure or heavy traffic. Store all oily cloths in water in a metal bucket until properly disposed.
Coverage 400 square feet per gallon.
It is best to test PENOFIN on your wood to determine the desired color. The shade can be affected by the type of wood, the manner applied, the length of time the oil is left on, and by the number of coats.
Maintenance
- When you use Penofin maintenance is a snap. Because Penofin is a low-solid product, there is no stripping or sanding necessary. Simply wash the surface with water and a mild detergent. Allow wood surface to dry completely, approximately 48 hours.

Cleanup
- Penofin is an oil-based product. Clean brushes and other application materials with mineral spirits or paint thinner.
- AVOID SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION of oily rags. Soak all used cloths in a covered metal bucket of water, ensuring the cloths are completely covered with water. Cover until they can be properly disposed at your local hazardous materials drop-off.
*According to the Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001, “Spontaneous combustion is a phenomenon in which a substance unexpectedly bursts into flame without apparent cause. In ordinary combustion, a substance is deliberately heated to its ignition point to make it burn. Many substances undergo a slow oxidation that, like the rapid oxidation of burning, releases heat. If the heat so released cannot escape the substance, the temperature of the substance rises until ignition takes place. Spontaneous combustion often occurs in piles of oily rags, green hay, leaves, or coal; it can constitute a serious fire hazard.”
Caution & Warnings
- Combustible – keep this product away from heat, open flame, and sparks.
- Beware of spontaneous combustion. Make certain all rags or other materials used with Penofin are soaked in water, stored in an air-tight container, or otherwise disposed of safely.
