The Penofin® Story
It was sometime in 1977 that a brilliant scientist who held Ph.D.s in physics and nuclear physics was having a quiet drink in a Colorado lounge with some friends who were manufacturers of a high line of furniture. Conversation centered around manufacturing. Told that a well-known brand of wood stain was made from a secret formula, the physicist scoffed, stating there were no secrets in chemistry. To prove his point, he analyzed the famous brand product and was not surprised to find the "secret formula" was a combination of linseed oil, aniline dyes, and solvents.
When he reported his laboratory findings to his friends, they dared him to devise a superior product, a challenge he readily accepted. The product should include these qualities: it had to penetrate, seal, dry quickly, have minimum odor and bleed back and be easy to apply. It also had to be stable enough to allow lacquers and varnishes to be sprayed over it if wanted.
