EXPERT Transparent Clear Stain & Seal can be applied to Western Red Cedar, Treated Pine, and various other wood species. This stain is designed to showcase the natural beauty of wood by allowing it to gray gracefully over time, as it provides no UV protection. However, it does aid in the prevention of warping, cracking, and twisting.

EXPERT Stain & Seal is enriched with non-drying oils and conditioners that deeply penetrate the wood, protecting it from the inside out. The unique stain and seal barrier locks in moisture protection, ensuring your wood remains safeguarded for years to come. Plus, with ultra-low VOC levels, EXPERT Stain & Seal is safer for the environment, your family, and your outdoor space—no harmful off-gassing, unlike high-VOC stains, which can release carcinogens for months.

EXPERT Stain & Seal is easy to apply, non-filming, and guarantees a flawless finish with no streaks, runs, or lap marks. Trusted by thousands of homeowners and contractors alike, EXPERT Transparent Clear Stain & Seal is ideal for fences, pergolas, gazebos, siding, and vertical wood surfaces. Whether it's new or aged wood, pressure-treated, or previously stained with an oil-based product, EXPERT is the clear choice for lasting protection and beauty.

Why Low VOC Matters:

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) contribute to air pollution, smog, and respiratory issues, with some posing carcinogenic risks. While many stains barely meet environmental standards, EXPERT goes further with ultra-low VOCs to ensure safer application and long-lasting protection—keeping both your wood and environment healthy.

EXPERT Stain & Seal is crafted by experts, for experts—and for homeowners who expect nothing less than exceptional performance.

Application Method

Mix contents well before use, stir contents often during use. Stir thoroughly, as pigment concentrations may settle. DO NOT THIN THIS PRODUCT. If using multiple pails of stain, mx them for consistent color uniformity. Apply using a brush, roller, stain mitt, stain applicator pad, or sprayer. Apply one coat by fully saturating the wood surface with a generous amount of stain. DO NOT ALLOW THE STAIN TO POOL OR PUDDLE ON FLAT SURFACES. Remove or spread out any stain left on the wod surface after 30-60 minutes. EXPERT Stain & Seal self levels on vertical surfaces, while back brushing may be required on horizontal surfaces. Using a dry cloth, remove puddled or excess stain after application from flat, horizontal surfaces. If not removed it may leave a shiny film on the surface, delay drying time, and cause premature failure. 

EXPERT Stain & Seal's penetrating oils go deep into the wood, drying slowly for several days after application. Finished color can take up to several weeks for true color. DO NOT walk on stained surfaces for 24 hours, allowing 72 hours for light traffic. 


Questions & Answers

Have a Question?

Ask a Question
  • How long should I avoid staining if it might rain in the forecast

    Our stains are rain safe on fences after about 12 hours. We recommend 24-36 hours of dry weather after staining for flat surfaces like decks.

  • What is the ideal application temperature

    Since our stains are a penetrating oil, there are no temperature restrictions. We are dependent on moisture content of the wood. We recommend the wood having a 13% moisutre content and for the wood to NOT be frozen immediately before, during, or immediately after application.

  • Does this product clean up with soap and water?

    It should if you prewet the surface with soap and water. Definitely do not let it dry. Expert Stain & Seal Degreaser works better.

  • Is better to get a sealer that has some color to it as opposed to a clear sealer?

    It depends on the age of your fence. Newer fences should use a semi-transparent or transparent while older, rougher fences should use a semi-solid.

Great product, quick delivery

I used Expert Stain & Seal clear wood stain & sealer on a new cedar fence. It turned out great and enhances the natural cedar color. It was by far the best result in comparing to other products I've used in the past. The coverage estimate on the instructions was a little off with rough sawn cedar, so i ended up needed several more gallons than initially planned. Its an expensive sealer, so something to be aware of when budgeting a project. Very fast delivery and quality packaging. I will be a return customer for future projects.
