Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before application, ensure the deck is completely dry and free from any previous loose paint or varnish; use a deck cleaner if necessary. Apply the stain using a high-quality brush or applicator pad, working along the grain of the wood. Maintain the deck by sweeping regularly to remove debris and dirt, which can act as an abrasive. If the deck begins to show signs of wear, a light sanding followed by a maintenance coat can restore the protective barrier without the need to strip the entire surface.
