WOCA Wood Lye is a mild, non-corrosive form of lye for use on indoor wood. It creates a whitewashed appearance, and can be used on all wood species. Wood Lye helps to minimize the yellowing of wood, which occurs naturally in some wood species over time. WOCA Wood Lye is available in both White and Grey. Results vary.
IMPORTANT: Due to settings and colour adjustments within individual computer monitors and hand-held devices, the colour on your wood may or may not be achieved as shown in the colour swatches.
