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.
