Weather Boss XT Natural Wood Stain
The Weather Boss XT Formula:
A higher-concentration formula with 50% more natural resins and oils, built for cedar shake roofs, rough-cut timbers, cracked logs, and severely aged wood that standard stains can’t fully penetrate.
For best results, avoid using XT on new decks, hardwood floors, or dense, tight-grain wood.
Highlights:
For wood that’s too far gone for a standard stain. Cedar shake roofs left baking in the sun, rough-cut timber with deep cracks, and old log cabins where the grain has opened up and dried out. Other stains sit on top and can't penetrate deep enough into the wood to bond. Weather Boss XT was made with this in mind.
XT carries 50% more natural tree resins and oils than the original Weather Boss formula. That extra concentration allows it to absorb deeper into open-grained, cracked, and aged wood where other products fail. It restores cedar shake roofs that most contractors would recommend replacing and helps bring dried-out logs back to life. The worse the wood looks, the better XT performs.
Same natural, non-toxic formula. Same soap-and-water cleanup. Same permanent bond. XT isn’t a different product philosophy. It's the original dialed up for the jobs that need it most.
Coverage on XT projects will be at the lower end of the 100 to 250 square foot per gallon range because open-grained and aged wood absorbs significantly more product. For large projects like roofs, the 5-gallon container is the practical choice. Keep extra on hand. Apply in temperatures down to 32°F. Allow 24 hours to cure before rain.

Keeping the Tradition Alive
Weather Boss XT draws from the same tradition that inspired the original formula: the centuries-old Norwegian practice of preserving wooden stave churches over the last 1,300 years using natural tree sap XT carries 50% more of the resins and oils that make that kind of longevity possible. It’s the closest thing to that ancient approach in a modern can.
How to Get the Most Out of Weather Boss XT
XT is a concentrated formula with 50% more resins and oils than Original Weather Boss. The surfaces it targets absorb more product than standard wood.
The optimum application is three to four coats: two XT color (or clear) coats followed by one to two coats of Weather Boss Clear Sealer. On open-grained, cracked, and aged wood, expect the first coat to be absorbed quickly. That is normal. It means the formula is doing its job.

Coverage depends heavily on the porosity and condition of the wood. On severely aged or cracked surfaces, expect lower coverage per gallon than the original formula because the wood absorbs more product. Plan for the lower end of the 100 to 250 square foot range and have extra on hand.
