First, thank you for your site. I stripped my deck, and bought Behr Semi-Trans, and then went around the web looking for pics and found your review. I was suspictious of your negativity, but after reading all the people saying they had the same situation, I will difinately not take the chance at questioning your integrity. So i will be returning them and looking for somethign different. Thats where I need your help.
I live in Omaha, NE. I will pay for a good stain I just dont know where to go to get it. We have Lowes, Ace, Menards, Home Depot... But who carries your better reviewed stains? (DEFY Extreme, etc).
My deck is just stripped and I like the natural cedartone look. Its not brand new wood but has shaped up in looks after my second strip last night. Can you also recommend a stain I can find in town. Please help.
In general we have never found a quality stain at a Big Box Store. The stains sold there are not the same formulas seen in quality paint stores and lumber yards. I would check with these store types and see what they have to offer. Contacting the manufacturers of the stains would help point you in the right direction as well. I doubt Defy would be found in Omaha but maybe TWP?
