I have cleaned my pressure treated deck and am ready to apply a stain. The deck is 3 yrs old and previously had a neutral water base presevative applied. I would like to apply a semi-transparent stain. What is the best type of stain to use. Oil base or water base. I live in Florida and the deck is exposed to full sun most all day.
Post a picture.
I will treat with Restore-A-Deck Brightener before applying stain
Either base is fine. Try one of these stains:
Thanks, Which product will hold up better in hot humid conditions?
I also have two porches under roof that have Cumaru wood surface. I applied IPE oil last year and they looked good for about 3 months. They now have faded back to earlier conditions and several sections have become discolored with a black color.
I want to clean thoroughly and then apply some type of stain to the wood.
What is the best process and products to get the wood back to its original appearance?
Strip and brighten for the prep and try the Defy Hardwood Stain or Restore A Deck Stains.
