  • Super High Quality Stain
Size: 5 Gallon Color: Light Walnut
After tons of research using deckstainhelp.com which is a fantastic resource, we discovered that anything at Lowes and HD won't hold up over time. This is rated as one of the best stains out there and we found It was very easy to apply, and the color is awesome. The rain beads every time and it appears to be working as it should. We applied to 1 year old pressure treated pine. Just be aware of the following: - It will stain any surface FAST, to prevent this, just use a wet rag to wipe it off. If you're too late (which you will be) you can try mineral spirits (with a lot of scrubbing and risk damaging the surface). This worked pretty good on the painted Hardie Board, just don't scrub too hard, let the mineral spirits soak a little and then rub. For trim you can just have touch up paint for when you're done. I highly suggest having touchup paint for the surrounding trim surfaces. Way easier and faster to paint over the stain than to try scrubbing it off of trim - The color appeared reddish at first. It freaked us out. It wasn't too too bad, but just disappointing. But then after a few days, it settled into the beautiful brown that it should be - It's crucial to do the second coat within 20 minutes and not wait any longer. This is a wet-on-wet application. If you wait too long on the second coat, then it basically seals and prevents the second coat from soaking in. So if you accidentally get it get it somewhere, you're now committed to come back to that section in 20 minutes. This is really tough when you're doing railings over the floor you're planning to do (since you need to do the railings first), so I suggest putting plastic on the floor as you do the railings above them - Prep well and take your time. Clean the decks well, get the dirt/mold/mildew off a day before you apply. Make sure the wood is ready, flick some water when it's dry, and if the water is gone in a couple minutes, you're good. If not, you need to let the wood dry out. It's a lot of work, but you'll be really happy you took the extra time to do it right - Be hesitant on where you tape. We taped everywhere thinking that would help, and against the siding it did, since the siding is above the deck. But for surfaces below the deck, the stain actually seeped behind the tape and the tape made it worse. So I don't suggest using tape where gravity will work the stain against you. In these places it was just easier to apply the stain and have a wet rag ready ... show more

  • Great Product
Size: 1 Gallon Color: Natural Pine
I applied this product less than a week ago but it looks great. I highly recommend: Color: I used natural pine. It is more red than what I envisioned but it looks great. I like the look better than I envisioned. I returned a week later and it had gotten a little lighter but looks even better than I expected. Does not appear to be a heavy color or coat but looks almost natural. Repellent: Having returned one week after application, it rained here on the eastern shore of Md for the first time in about 3 weeks to a month. The water on the deck beaded up nicely. This deck never did that even after the bad sealer was applied years ago. Application: Smooth and easy to apply. The wet on wet application seemed odd to me but I trusted the process and it went very well. Coverage: The company estimated that I needed 4 gallons for two coats on my deck and that is what I used. my deck is 6 years old. I had to clean a lot because I used what turned out to be a common sealer from a big box store and it was horrible. It seemed to collect dirt from day 1. After cleaning via the cleaner and power washer 2 times and brightened, I had to sand the entire deck and apply brightener again, so the wood was very clean and I was afraid of how the product would apply and whether it would look patchy. It went on great and looks great. Durability: Way too early to tell. I do not expect any issues, however. The application is smooth and tight and absorbed. I plan to brighten and reapply in horizontal surfaces annually or bi-annually anyway. ... show more

  • Don't try and cheat - follow the instructions.
Size: 1 Gallon Color: Light Walnut
I stained a new, pressure treated (2x6 material) pine deck last year... I was not happy with the results (poor adherence, peeling and flaking), but to be fair to Defy, I don't think I waited long enough for the ACQ to dry from the wood. I stained after 3 months, when I should have waited longer. Also, tried to stain in sections, instead of the recommended complete length of board, and ended up with distinct, visible areas of overlap (stopping and starting). Don't do this! Complete a length of board(s) before you stop. This is a penetrating stain; if you don't follow the instructions to a T, you will have poor results. This year I rented a random, orbit floor sander and using 36 grit paper, stripped the entire deck (500 square feet). Last year I used the recommended large brush to apply but found that to be very messy, although pretty quick and easy. This year I donned my knee pads and used a 3 1/2 inch staining paint brush. Much slower but I felt I had really good control of the application. Because I had such poor results last year, this year I only put on one coat, in hopes of minimizing any chances of flaking, plus I felt like trying to get the second coat down in a timely manner was going to be too difficult since I have such a large deck - if you put it down after the first coat dries, you won't be happy. This year I observed the stain penetrating nicely into the wood, and my application was much more uniform. I could also basically apply a "second coat" by simply back-brushing, as I progressed onto untreated surfaces. I believe the recommended wait of 20 minutes before applying a second coat, could be too long depending on your climate. Where I live should be "within 20 minutes." This year the staining turned out really well, and the color is awesome (light walnut). My plan is to apply a second coat in late fall/early winter before a threat of freezing. After consulting Defy, I learned that applying additional coats is dependent on the "water test." If you put drops of water on the deck, and they absorb right into the wood, then you can apply another coat. If the water doesn't absorb, then an additional coat will not penetrate and you'll have poor results (flaking, poor adherence). This water test should be done on several areas of the deck; not just one spot. If my test results with the water not absorbing right away, then I will wait till next year to apply the second coat (I guess I did a good job of staining, if that happens). My intent of applying a second coat, is to have the deck in a condition, where I won't have to stain it for a couple of years. My color turned out great this year, so I have trouble understanding some of the reviews that speak of poor color. Last year, I ordered some sample stains from Defy's web site, and stained scrap wood, in order to choose the best color. This is a good method to use, if you are unsure about how your type of wood will look with stain. Another good hint is to be careful of the sun. This stain will dry too fast if you apply it in direct sunlight; you want it to penetrate into the wood, not dry on top of it. I have two boards that I'm worried about, because the clouds went away as I was staining, and it seemed they dried a little too fast. Not much I could have done; once you start don't stop until you complete the entire length of board. The only thing that remains to be seen, is how durable and long it will last before I have to re-stain. ... show more
