New Krylon® Wood Stain Rescues Weekends

(CLEVELAND — May 4, 2009)  Krylon®, the nation's leader in spray paint, is introducing the first and only exterior wood stain in a convenient spray can, just in time to give you back your Saturday. Krylon Exterior Semi-Transparent Wood Stain provides the same durable protection you get from wood stain in a bucket, but with spray paint convenience, making short work of a dreaded weekend project.

It's vital to protect wood from weathering, and exterior stain is considered the best, most practical way to do so. When bare wood is exposed to sunlight and moisture, it will mildew, crack, fade and structurally deteriorate. Wood stain contains UV inhibitors and other substances that are absorbed into the wood to repel water and prevent fading.

But if you've ever stained wood, you know it can be time-consuming and messy. Applying wood stain typically requires multiple steps, including preparing the surface, rolling or brushing the stain on, wiping it in, then cleaning up and then storing leftover stain. Krylon's Wood Stain applies cleanly to both vertical and horizontal surfaces without runs or drips. So you can get a beautiful finish that holds up to the toughest conditions, without hauling out a paint pan and roller and with no flammable rags leftover to store.

Even better, you can get the job done in time to get to the ballpark.

Do-it-yourselfers will appreciate the recyclable spray can's easy-open cap and EZ Touch 360°® Dial Spray Tip. The tip enables more comfortable spray painting with increased coverage per pass, reduced overspray, less chance of runs or drips and greater accuracy due to a dial that lets you adjust the spray's direction.

When choosing stain color for exterior projects such as wood patio furniture, play sets, shutters, mailboxes, and more, your home's exterior can provide your color inspiration. Semi-transparent stains are popular because they add color and enhance the natural beauty of the wood grain instead of covering it up.

Krylon Exterior Semi-Transparent Wood Stain is available in four of today's most popular exterior wood stain colors, Cedar, Honey Gold, Rustic Brown and Redwood, so you can match, accent or coordinate with popular exterior stain colors sold in buckets.
