Sikkens SIK42078/01 Clear 1 gal Finish sku-195096930

Sikkens Proluxe Cetol Log & Siding, model SIK42078/01, is a translucent exterior wood finish sold here as a Clear, 1 gal item in Wood Stains, Coatings & Finishes. The source also names the finish Natural (078). SKU: sku-195096930. UPC: 056198655980. Its high-solids alkyd formula produces a satin film in two coats while allowing the wood grain to show.

It is intended for logs, siding, trim, beams and garage doors, including surfaces made from cedar, fir, pine, spruce or redwood. Do not use it on walkable horizontal surfaces such as decks; Cetol SRD and Cetol DEK are listed as deck-stain options. It is compatible over an existing Sikkens Proluxe Cetol 1 and Cetol 23 Plus system.

The formula uses Next Wave Technology, translucent iron oxide pigments and UV absorbers for protection against graying and deterioration. Its flexibility and microporosity help limit blistering and cracking as wood expands, contracts or retains moisture. The source says the Sikkens and Proluxe labels contain the same formula.

Free ground shipping applies to this product in 1 gal and 5 gal pails shipped to the Lower 48 United States, excluding Alaska, Hawaii and US territories; it does not cover other items in the order. Finished color can vary with wood species, texture, porosity and application. Sikkens Proluxe no longer makes new Cetol Log & Siding sample cans.

Some colors remain in 4 oz factory cans while supplies last; other 4 oz samples are packaged in-house. The Color Your Home website offers a preview, but screen colors may differ from the delivered stain. Sample cans are also available for testing.
