Preparation is the first step to success when staining and protecting the wood. Remove dirt, stains, and other foreign matter from unfinished or weathered wood surfaces. Set your stain job up for success.

Stain and protect wood only with high-quality stains for a long-lasting durable finish that is easy to clean and maintain. Clear stains are best for wood in like-new condition. Transparent stains are best for enhancing natural wood character. Semi-Transparent stains are best for adding color to wood in good condition. Semi-Solid stains are best for deck and high-traffic areas. Solid stains are best for worn wood or matching new and old boards.

Don’t just stain your wood - protect it so it can overcome all the rain, wind, and snow that comes it's way. Stain life depends on several factors including the amount of sun exposure, wear, surface prep, wood condition, and application technique. Proper maintenance will keep a finish looking better for longer.

4.0 out of 5 stars Spreads well
Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2022
I used this for the wood deck on my car hauler trailer. It’s thin and runny but that makes it absorb well and cover a lot of surface. It has a yellow tint that may go away over in time but I’m still waiting. It’s been a few weeks.

Picture is before coating on bottom and after drying 24 hours on top.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not Clear!
Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2021
So I purchased this product with the intention of putting it on my deck floor after staining it. After reading the instructions and info on the can, I decided against it, as I was afraid of it becoming slippery. So I decided to get some use out of it, and used it on my top rail of the deck railing, as it is prone to get mold on it. The railing is white, I opened the can, it looked yellow, but I figured it would dry clear. As it dried I noticed it was not drying clear at all! So I hurried, and tried to wash it all off. As you can tell from the pictures, I could not get it all off! I have spent hours, days, and weeks working on my deck, and to have this happen at the end, is so totally frustrating! I am angry with the maker of this, angry with the product, and angry with all of my wasted time! I will never use this product again, and I caution anyone else who purchases this!
