Dryden

Dryden WoodOil is a water-repellent, non-filming, timber protector. It’s a true migrating oil, that migrates deep into the timber. Dryden WoodOil’s water repelling properties prevent the absorption of water deep into the timber, helping to reduce excessive warping, cupping, and splitting of timber, thus extending the life span of those timbers.
