I’m up near Toronto Canada. I have a cedar deck that has never been stained. What’s best for a semi transparent stain that is shippable to Canada? Thanks
The TWP 200 Series or the Armstrong Clark Stains.
Great, thanks!
I bought a gallon each of A-1 and RAD Strip from you guys for my red brick paver patio. Should I try the A-1 first or only try the stripper? It’s probably been 4+ years since it was sealed.
Try the A-1 first.
Hello, is there a paver sealer that I can use around the pool area that will give a gloss appearance without darkening the pavers ? I previously used SS25 on my driveway pavers but it darkened the look of the pavers. TY..
No, gloss sealers will also darken like a wet look.
Trying to decide between TWP or Armstrong Clark for my Ipe deck that is fairly new (1 year old). It gets a lot of sun exposure, about 6-8 hours a day. We are in Northern California. What are the pros and cons for both? Also, RAD is recommended to do first, wait a few days, then apply TWP or AC, right?
Thanks
TWP is not suggested for IPE while the 3 colors of AC are. Prep with RAD first.
I applied your super seal 30 gloss in early June. The surface of my formed concrete patio was power washed twice, once in late April and once the day before I applied the sealer. I’ve used your product many times in the past, but this year it dried with lots of bubbles, some of which were so large that they popped when stepped upon. The surface is also tacky to the touch such that when walking on it with tennis shoes you can hear and feel the tackiness. I’m wondering a) what I did wrong or b) what is wrong with the current product.
Is there a solution to this situation?

Hi guys, I usually like to do some spot treatment pre-work with xylene when I seal every year – like getting rid of those bubbles that show up. I’ve had a tough time finding xylene this year – big box retailers don’t sell it and even online availability seems to be spotty. Have they scaled back production for some reason? Perhaps safety issues? Is there an alternative product I could/should use?
Thanks,
Kyle
No sure why xylene cannot be found locally. It should be. We offer this:

Hello. Our deck was previously stained using Cabot oil-based semi-solid. It formed a film that peeled and cracked despite our best prep work and we are trying to avoid having that happen again. Do the Armstrong-Clark semi-solid stains form a film or should we go with the semi-transparent?
No, the AC semi-solid stain are penetrating. Make sure to remove the Cabot stain first.
Hi! I noticed when I checked out that I was not charged tax… then I read some comments about various states that certain products are not permitted to be sold to. I did not know there were restrictions before I ordered and I’m not sure if my state is on that list (I am in NY). Hoping it’s allowed… but if not, Is that possibly why tax was not charged? And, if it is not permitted, will I be offered a refund or an alternative product since it cannot ship to me? Thanks so much!
Good Morning….planning to buy Woodrich TimberOil deck stain which seems to be offered in Amaretto…but I don’t see that color sample. Can you please send me a pic? Thank you!

Good morning – I ordered a sample of the superseal 30 (clear) and would like to also try the brown tint. Is it possible to get a sample of that. The dropdown to choose the sample doesn’t seem to have the option to select the brown tint.
Sorry but no, we do not have samples of the brown tint.
