LIFE TIME WOOD TREATMENT



LifeTime wood treatment is suitable for all types of outdoor wood, is totally natural (powder based made of naturally occuring plant and mineral substances- a family recipe from Canada), and is virtually maintenance free from the time you apply it. It never has to be reapplied!
LifeTime cannot be worn off and will not peel or fade. Natural weathering actually increases the wood’s beauty and effectiveness. Over time, and with weather changes, all LifeTime wood turns to a silver-dark brown patina. This natural patina is a weathering process
offering high UV protection.
LifeTime is absolutely harmless to soil, animals or plants! It can be applied with brush, sprayer, roller or by dipping- and it can be applied in ANY
TEMPERATURE- even 0 degrees Celcius! In powder form, this product can be stored indefinitely. After mixing with water, as long as the container is well sealer, it will last a long time as well, especially if distilled or really clean water is used.
