I'm going solid white /offwhite on the railings. What solid stain do you recommend in MA?]]> Deck Stain Questions and Answers Rob K https://forum.deckstainhelp.com/deck-stain-questions-and-answers/15-yr-old-pt-deck/#post-7842 https://forum.deckstainhelp.com/deck-stain-questions-and-answers/15-yr-old-pt-deck/#post-7833 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 14:24:41 +0000 Deck Stain Questions and Answers Scott Paul ~ Restoring Wood & Decks Since 1993 https://forum.deckstainhelp.com/deck-stain-questions-and-answers/15-yr-old-pt-deck/#post-7833 https://forum.deckstainhelp.com/deck-stain-questions-and-answers/15-yr-old-pt-deck/#post-7824 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 14:01:10 +0000 What would you recommend that comes in semisolid and is available in MA?

What is the best stain available in MA?]]> Deck Stain Questions and Answers Rob K https://forum.deckstainhelp.com/deck-stain-questions-and-answers/15-yr-old-pt-deck/#post-7817 https://forum.deckstainhelp.com/deck-stain-questions-and-answers/15-yr-old-pt-deck/#post-7789 Sat, 28 Jul 2012 12:01:06 +0000
I would clean and brighten after sanding.

I would stay away from the Big Box Store brands. Might want to check with some high end paint stores or lumber yards to see what they have available.]]> Deck Stain Questions and Answers Scott Paul ~ Restoring Wood & Decks Since 1993 https://forum.deckstainhelp.com/deck-stain-questions-and-answers/15-yr-old-pt-deck/#post-7789 https://forum.deckstainhelp.com/deck-stain-questions-and-answers/15-yr-old-pt-deck/#post-7788 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 15:54:09 +0000 State: Mass
Afternoon sun

I have stripped the old red stain. It is 90% off, with some areas still a little red from the old stain.

-Do I need to remove the remaining 10%?

-If I don't remove the last bit, can I use semi-transparent or do I need to use solid color stain?

-I am planning to sand some pretty rough boards (and flip some that I can). Should I clean and brighten before or after sanding?

-What is the best stain available in MA? I can get Cabot, Flood Advanced, or Sikkens Rubbol solid and Sikkens SRD semi-transparent in our big box store.]]> Deck Stain Questions and Answers Rob K https://forum.deckstainhelp.com/deck-stain-questions-and-answers/15-yr-old-pt-deck/#post-7788
