Penofin seals and protects the
millbright beauty of natural wood giving it that "hand-rubbed"
look mariners prefer. A high-performance wood finish
that offers many unique features:
|
- Penofin soaks
into the wood fibers,
so there is no surface film to crack, peel or
blotch.
- Microporous finish
allows wood to breathe thereby preventing rapid
contraction and expansion the primary cause
of buckling and cracking.
- Brazilian Rosewood
Oil (from Oiticica nuts) is the base
and primary solid. This exotic oil deeply penetrates
to harden and stabilize the wood fibers.
- Transoxide pigments
are strategic metals, microscopically ground,
which effectively block 90-percent of the sun's
damaging ultraviolet rays, the major cause of
discolouration.
- Transparent finish
enhances, never obscures, the grain and natural
beauty of fine wood. Penofin outlasts any other
clear wood finish on the market - and is guaranteed
to perform.
- Easy maintenance:
Just clean the surface and apply Penofin over
the original application —no sanding is
necessary.
- Finish types:
Obtain a high-gloss "bright," flat-matte
or any sheen in between.

INTERIOR USE
Formulated by and for professional wood
workers, Penofin offers the following additional
advantages for interior applications:
- Multiple coats
may be wet sanded to
build a lustrous, self-filling, hand-rubbed
finish.
- Minimizes bleedback
and prevents raised grain.
- Non-yellowing,
non-darkening and fast drying.
- Stabilizes wood fibers
to allow use of varnishes, shellacs, etc. if
desired.
- Safe and easy to use
- Resistant to weather,
moisture, stains and alcohol.

The
32-ft Egret, featured in the
photos, is one of a rare class of
sailing craft called Stor Tumlaren.
Designed
by Knud Reimers, a world-famous,
Scandanavian marine architect, the
Egret was built in Denmark in 1939
of pitch pine over steam-bent oak
frames and copper fastened. Double-ended,
with a unique aft cockpit and bendable
wooden mast, the Egret is beautifully
finished in hand-rubbed Penofin Marine
Oil Finish.
In
the '30's and '40's, Uffa Fox, noted
British yacht designer, called the
Tumlaren "the most advanced type
of racer/cruisers in the world."
Egret's sister ship, The Cohoe, skippered
by Adlard Coles, won the 1950 Trans
Atlantic Race.
