Most oil-based stains must dry for at least 12 hours before they are exposed to any moisture/rain; however, Ready Seal, if properly applied to prepped and dried wood, can get wet within a couple of hours, and it won't wash away.

Applications. Transparent wood was first developed to help teach students about wood's anatomy. It is still used for this application today, making wood's internal structure visible. In research, transparent wood methods have been used to make 3D and deep imaging models of plant and animal tissues.

If applied correctly, Water Seal will last up to 4 years. This is dependent on conditions such as orientation of the wall and local climate.

Water-based products do not last forever, even when unopened. General Finishes products are best used within 1 year of the manufacture date listed on the bottom of the can.

Although waterproofing wood will last for a while, it needs to be reapplied every few years to keep its moisture resistance.

This is the best stain and sealer that I have tried on my patio wood furniture. They take a lot of direct sun and rain in the summer. This product really holds up. We used 5 gals of behr semi transparent to stain our decks in late may.

Wood is a porous material. This means that, over time, exposure to water will permeate the wood's membranes, causing it to rot, soften, and fall apart.
