I am looking to again stain my cedar deck. I have been using Cabots semi-solid and every year for 10 years, the product always peals in high traveled areas.
PLEASE ADVISE-
My questions are:
1. Should I go to Cabots solid stain? or change to a better product??
(my deck has so many coats of semi-solid it looks solid).
2. Should I, or How do I change to an oil based product ?
You would have to power sand to remove the coating if you want to change to a penetrating semi-transparent. It would be easier to go over it with a solid stain but it will continue to peel every year or two.
