Oxcon (oxalic acid concentrate) is the only effective treatment for rust stains from around nails, spikes, and screws.
Oxcon comes as a concentrate that is diluted with water prior to use. It is best applied using a garden type pump-up sprayer but a brush or broom will also work. Apply a liberal amount to the wood, let it work on the surface for 10 to 15 minutes and rinse it thoroughly with clean water.
Oxcon should not be used for spot cleaning since it may cause blotching of the surface.
The true color of stain on the wood can vary wildly based on porosity, application, species, preparation and weathering, We highly encourage applying samples to your own wood so you are happy with the results. To that end, we offer free samples and even free shipping. Simply add the samples to your cart the same as any order.
You will notice 2 options at checkout. One for Free Shipping and one to Plant 7 Trees in Canada (Cost of $10). We leave the decision up to you but we certainly appreciate knowing for every sample that goes out we plant 7 trees and are making a tangible difference.
