FAQs

What surfaces can I use the Decking Stain and Protector on?

This product is suitable for use on wooden patios, stairs, and bathroom floors. It can be used on both treated and untreated wood.

How long does it take to dry?

The stain is touch-dry in approximately two hours after application.

Does it make the surface slippery?

No, the Decking Stain and Protector provides a slip-resistant finish, enhancing safety.

How should I prepare the surface before applying?

The surface must be clean, dry, and free from loose debris. Ensure any old coatings are removed or properly prepared. Test on a small area first.

Can I apply this over an existing stain or paint?

It's recommended to remove or thoroughly prepare existing coatings. Test on an inconspicuous area to ensure compatibility. For best results, apply to bare or properly prepped wood.

What is the best way to clean the treated surface?

Clean the surface with water and a mild detergent. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.

How many coats do you recommend?

Typically, one or two coats are sufficient, depending on the desired finish and the condition of the wood. Apply thin, even coats and allow adequate drying time between them.

Troubleshooting

Uneven color after application

Ensure the product was applied evenly and that the surface was uniformly prepared. Multiple thin coats may be more effective than one thick coat. Allow adequate drying time between coats.

Surface remains tacky after drying time

This can occur if applied too thickly or in very humid conditions. Ensure good ventilation. A light sanding with fine-grit sandpaper may help resolve tackiness, followed by a light wipe down.

Water beading instead of soaking in

This is an indication that the product is working effectively and providing water protection. This is the desired outcome.

Product peeling or flaking

This may indicate inadequate surface preparation or application on a damp surface. Ensure the wood was completely dry and clean before application. For future applications, ensure thorough preparation and adherence to drying times.
