        Can this be used on the exterior of a front door? If so, how long until the door can be closed?

        Answer This Question

        Hi Wendy, thanks for the question. Our House & Fence Wood Stain can be used on the exterior of the front door. It does take up to 72 hours for the stain to completely cure, so I'd suggest waiting as long as possible before closing the door, because it can be easier to chip before the stain has cured. If you have additional questions about your project, please reach out to us directly. Our customer care team is happy to help. -Ronald

            How long in between the two coats do I need to wait? Or can I apply the second coat right after the first or do you want the first coat to dry ? Also, this is going on a deck even the floor. Do I need to put any primer down?
            ByApr 21, 2025
            1 Answer | 
            Answer This Question

            Hi Jeff, thank you for your questions. The second coat can be applied after the first coat has dried for at least 6 hours. A primer is not needed for most projects. However, that is recommended for "bleeding" woods like redwood, cedar, and cypress if you'll be using a pastel color. In that case, we advise priming the wood with our Multi-Surface Primer. Please feel free to reach out to us directly if you have any other questions. -Lina

              Answer This Question

              Hi there, thank you for your question. Our Solid Color House & Fence Stain can be used for the vertical areas of the swing set. However, for any areas subject to foot traffic, I recommend using our Solid Color Waterproofing Stain & Sealer instead. Please feel free to reach out to us directly if you have any other questions. -Lina

                Hi Vicky, thank you for your question. Our Behr House & Fence Wood Stain is not recommended on decks or porches as it is not a floor coating. I recommend checking out our Behr Premium Solid Color Waterproofing Stain & Sealer for your project. Have a great day! -Alex

                  Very easy to apply and very good coverage too. Can’t go wrong with solid color.

                  Worth the money.
                  Had 2000 sq ft of 1x12 wood fencing to stain. Did all proper prep including power washing. Previous stain was 10 years old and was semi transparent. Application was with roller and brush. Label listed 200-400 sq ft per gallon coverage. I figured 300 was realistic and would take two coats. It was indeed 300. One coat was almost enough but second coat was applied to have proper finish. Looks fantastic!! Liked viscosity and easy water cleanup.

                    FALSE ADVERTISING!!
                    Ordered this product for my fence & was fairly satisfied with coverage (took 2+ coats to cover properly though) and finish. However, BUYER BEWARE---THIS IS FALSE ADVERTISING TO STATE THIS IS 5 GALLONS--IT IS NOT (see photo). As with most things in this economy, you're getting SHRINKFLATION!! They are advertising this as 5 gallons, but it is not 5 gallons--you're getting less than advertised in what used to be the same size container. This is actually 4.88 gallons!

                      Gettysburg: So Far So Good
                      I can’t speak for longevity since it’s freshly applied, but so far the color is great and the product was very easy and forgiving to apply. Will update if I have an issues down the road.

                        Love it! Way better than other stains. Not messy at all. More of a stain and paint blend!

                        I cannot give five stars because that would depend on its longevity. It covers well and waterproof better than expected. Easy to apply. On rough cut fence boards you will not get the listed coverage per gallon.
