WOCA Wood Lye is a mild, non-corrosive form of lye and the first step to whitewash or create a driftwood appearance on indoor wood. It also minimizes the natural occurrence of the wood turning yellow over time.
WOCA Wood Lye is compatible with all wood species and is available in White and Grey. Results vary.
Finish and protect the wood surface with WOCA Master Color Oil or Diamond Oil Active to add additional color, protection and durability.
IMPORTANT: Due to settings and color adjustments within individual computer monitors and hand-held devices, the color on your wood may or may not be achieved as shown in the color swatches
We encourage you to order a tester and apply it to a piece of your wood for verification.
