Questions & Answers
Can I use a garden sprayer
Can the transparent clear stain be used for untreated tongue and groove knotty pine that will go on (under/celing) covered porch?

How does the semi transparent compair to transparent
Hi BigCheese, thanks for reaching out with your question. Our transparent finishes will give your wooden surface the protection it needs while still showcasing its full natural beauty and allowing the wood grain to be fully visible. Our semi-transparent finish will provide some color coverage on the surface while still allowing some of the wood grain to be visible, they also provide a slightly longer lifespan than our transparent finishes. Please feel free to reach out to us directly if you have any other questions. - Angie

Does your semi-transparent stain work well for outdoor stairs (they will be new)? If so, does it matter what color I choose? How long will it last before having to be redone?
Hi Mike, thank you for your question. The Semi-Transparent Wood Stain and Sealer can be used on new wooden stairs in the color of your choice. To prep the wood, use the All-In-One Wood Cleaner No. 63 and allow it to dry completely. The stain is guaranteed 6 years on decks, which would be similar to stairs. Good luck with your project! -Giovanna
How long before I can walk on my freshly painted deck
Hi Bren, thank you for your question. We recommend letting the Solid Color Waterproofing Stain & Sealer dry for 24-48 hours before any light foot traffic and 72 hours before any heavy foot traffic. Have a great day! -Adelina
