Flood® Solid Color

Flood 100% Acrylic Solid Color stain adds a rich opaque color that still showcases the texture of the wood, but completely hides the grain and color of the wood. It has excellent adhesion and provides a mildew resistant and water repellant nish that protects wood from UV rays and mildew stains.
