Abstract
A method is shown for treating a wood substrate which both stains and simultaneously seals. First a sealant composition is formulated by combining a commercially and industrially sold stain with a micro-crystalline pre-mixture, the micro-crystalline pre-mixture being comprised of a micro-crystalline wax in an organic solvent blend. Next, the wood substrate is contacted with the sealant composition and the solvent blend is allowed to flash away, leaving a substantially solvent free micro-crystalline wax residue barrier. The solvent blend can be a mixture of hexane and xylene but is not limited to these two particular solvents.
Claims17
A method for treating a wood substrate comprising the steps of:
- formulating a sealant composition by combining a commercially and industrially sold stain with a micro-crystalline pre-mixture, the micro-crystalline pre-mixture being comprised of a micro-crystalline wax in an organic solvent blend;
- contacting the wood substrate with the sealant composition and allowing the solvent blend to flash away, leaving a substantially solvent free micro-crystalline wax residue barrier.
The method of Claim I, wherein the organic solvent blend is a blend of hexane and xylene.
A method for treating a wood substrate comprising the steps of:
- formulating a sealant composition by combining a commercially and industrially sold stain with a micro-crystalline chemical pre-mixture, the micro-crystalline pre-mixture being comprised of a micro-crystalline wax in an organic solvent blend;
- wherein the sealant composition is prepared by adding the micro-crystalline wax to a solvent blend containing hexane and xylene, the micro-crystalline wax being heated to its melting point and then added to the solvent blend at ambient temperature with frequent stirring until the micro-crystalline wax is completely dispersed throughout the solvent blend, thereby forming the chemical pre-mixture;
- wherein once the pre-mixture is prepared, the commercial stain is blended with the pre-mixture;
- thereafter, contacting the wood substrate with the sealant composition and allowing the solvent blend to flash away after initial curing, leaving a non-toxic and substantially solvent free micro-crystalline wax residue barrier.
A combination wood stain and sealant composition for a wood substrate, the composition comprising:
- a combined initially liquid composition which is formulated by combining a commercially and industrially sold wood stain with a micro-crystalline wax pre-mixture, the micro-crystalline wax pre-mixture being comprised of a micro-crystalline wax in an organic solvent blend;
- wherein the initially liquid composition is applied to a wood substrate with the solvent blend subsequently being allowed to flash away, leaving a substantially solvent free micro-crystalline wax residue barrier on the wood substrate.
