I also was looking at Cabot solid stains for my deck but they DON'T RECOMMEND OVT OIL BASED SOLID STAINS on decks or horizontal surfaces. Can someone explain this?That version of Cabot is for vertical wood. You would want there solid decking stain.]]> Deck Stain Questions and Answers Scott Paul ~ Restoring Wood & Decks Since 1993 https://forum.deckstainhelp.com/deck-stain-questions-and-answers/what-stain-should-i-use-on-my-old-deck/#post-9680 What stain should I use on my old deck? https://forum.deckstainhelp.com/deck-stain-questions-and-answers/what-stain-should-i-use-on-my-old-deck/#post-9678 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 02:00:04 +0000 Deck Stain Questions and Answers alindeman https://forum.deckstainhelp.com/deck-stain-questions-and-answers/what-stain-should-i-use-on-my-old-deck/#post-9678 What stain should I use on my old deck? https://forum.deckstainhelp.com/deck-stain-questions-and-answers/what-stain-should-i-use-on-my-old-deck/#post-9675 Sun, 28 Sep 2014 11:34:58 +0000 Deck Stain Questions and Answers Scott Paul ~ Restoring Wood & Decks Since 1993 https://forum.deckstainhelp.com/deck-stain-questions-and-answers/what-stain-should-i-use-on-my-old-deck/#post-9675 What stain should I use on my old deck? https://forum.deckstainhelp.com/deck-stain-questions-and-answers/what-stain-should-i-use-on-my-old-deck/#post-9673 Fri, 26 Sep 2014 22:26:28 +0000
That being said, I think Flood is typically suggested, but Flood products are harder and harder to find at local stores so I'm looking for alternatives that I can buy at some store (e.g. home depot, lowes, or anything within 5 miles). I am willing to consider semi-solid if it's a huge deal.

Also, how long should I wait after a rain before staining? Like if it rains friday afternoon, can I stain Saturday morning?]]> Deck Stain Questions and Answers Bzy https://forum.deckstainhelp.com/deck-stain-questions-and-answers/what-stain-should-i-use-on-my-old-deck/#post-9673
