FAQs

What is the coverage rate of the 5L can?

Coverage rates can vary based on the wood's porosity and application method. Refer to the product's packaging for specific coverage details, but typically a 5L can covers a significant area of decking.

How long does the stain take to dry?

Drying times can vary based on temperature and humidity. Generally, allow at least 24 hours for full drying and curing before allowing foot traffic.

Can I apply this stain over an existing finish?

It is recommended to remove old finishes completely to ensure proper adhesion and performance. If applying over a previous stain, ensure it is compatible or fully stripped back to bare wood.

Is this product suitable for furniture?

While designed for decking, its protective qualities might make it suitable for other exterior wooden items. However, always test in an inconspicuous area first.

Does the clear stain add a color?

The 'Clear' variant is designed to enhance and protect the wood's natural color without adding pigment. It provides a protective finish that maintains the wood's original appearance.

How often should I reapply the decking stain?

Reapplication frequency depends on exposure to weather and foot traffic. Typically, a recoat is recommended every 1-3 years to maintain optimal protection and appearance.

Troubleshooting

Uneven finish or streaking

Ensure the stain is applied evenly and consistently. Stir the product thoroughly before and during application. Avoid over-application and ensure no excess product is left on the surface. Work in manageable sections.

Product not adhering or peeling

This is usually due to inadequate surface preparation. Ensure the wood was clean, dry, and free from previous finishes before application. Lightly sanding new wood and thoroughly cleaning old wood is crucial.

Water beading instead of repelling

The stain may not have fully cured, or a second coat might be necessary for adequate protection. Allow sufficient drying time between coats and ensure the surface is properly sealed.
