Product Description:

Sikkens Cetol Filter 7 Plus 1L in 077 Pine is a high-performance, medium-build, solvent-borne woodstain designed for use on exterior wood joinery. Developed to provide long-lasting protection against the harmful effects of weather and ultraviolet (UV) radiation, this product enhances the natural appearance of wood while offering a durable, translucent satin finish.
