Customer Reviews for Preserva Wood 1 gal. 100 VOC Oil-Based Tamarack Brown Penetrating Stain and Sealer

Tamarack is a brown tint and does not contain any red pigments. Most likely, you applied the stain to redwood, which made the stain appear red. Preserva Wood Tamarack is a transparent stain, which allows the maximum grain and wood color to show through. If you are looking for a darker brown, we suggest you look at our semi-transparent Tahoma Brown.

Tamarack is a transparent stain in the Preserva Wood line. It is very lightly pigmented. For something darker, try our Tahoma Brown in the semi-transparent line as it has more color. If you want even more color in a brown tint, try Oxford Brown in our semi-solid line. We have lots of options depending on how light or dark you want your wood!

Although Tamarack is a transparent brown tint, a lot depends on the wood that you are staining. Transparent stains are very lightly pigmented, so if the wood you are applying the stain to is slightly red (like redwood), then the stain will appear more red. If you apply the stain to a test area and allow it to dry overnight, you will have a good idea of how the stain will appear on your wood.
