CUTEK® Extreme will not flake or peel and maintenance is fast and simple – no need to sand or strip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCUTEK® Extreme was originally developed in Australia for the harshest of Australian climates. CUTEK® Extreme diffuses throughout wood to control liquid and gas phase moisture, to minimize warping, cupping and splitting. By improving the dimensional stability of wood, CUTEK® Extreme improves the service life of your wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCUTEK® Extreme enhances the natural beauty, grain and texture of wood.

CUTEK® Extreme penetrates and diffuses deeply into the wood core upon application, protecting it from the damaging effects of liquid and gas phase moisture, significantly increasing the service life of your wood. It does this by remaining PERMANENTLY MOBILE inside the wood, migrating to any cut or perforation with a self-healing action.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany products claim to be a penetrating oil finish; however, they often contain a mixture of solvents, polymers and cross-linking natural oils (such as linseed and tung oils) that penetrate only a few millimetres before drying to form an encapsulating type varnish. Because these coatings do not have a self-healing effect, once this varnish is exposed to the weather, water can quickly enter the core of the wood especially if it has been cut or perforated with fasteners leading to a rapid loss of dimensional stability. Additionally, the use of some natural oils in wood coatings can contribute to the development of unsightly mold and fungal growth underneath subsequently applied coatings. This situation can be difficult and costly to fix.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cutek","offers":[{"title":"1 Gallon","offer_id":45932132892902,"sku":"CUTEKG","price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/6723\/1974\/files\/product-media-445017.png?v=1768266968","url":"https:\/\/vglumber.com\/products\/cutek","provider":"Vander Griend Lumber Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
