What is the recommended stain\sealer for new cedar wood (it's outdoor sauna). I want product that maintains a natural look of wood and lasts long, so I don't have to reapply it every year.

Hi, I am ready to purchase Armstrong Clark semi-solid stain for my deck. It is approximately 575 square feet, 28 year old pressure treated. What is the probable amount that I will need - I estimate 3-4 gallons. If I were to purchase a 5 gallon container, what is its shelf life after opened?

My deck is what i call fake wood, as you can see in picture it has all turned light gray from the sun. the original was a medium brown. Is there a stain that I could use to make it a little darker gray, that will last on this type of decking?

We have an Ice deck that we believe was originally with Penofin penetrating oil (we found an old can). The deck needs restoring everywhere except it is still bright under the doormat. Prior to staining we plan to Restore a Deck cleaner and then brightener. Do we need to use the wood stain stripper as an additional step? If so, where does it fit into the process?

Hello! We have ipe wood deck that we stained 6 years ago and has not been treated since. I would like to retreat the areas again. What products do you suggest to start with? Also, is it necessary to stain again or can I just clean and apply an oil product to bring out the beautiful red color?

Is oil based deck stain available for delivery in Ontario?

What is the best sealer or stain for Massanaruba that you carry? Thanks

For the last 15 years I have been treating my covered Ipe porch deck with Penofin Rosewood Penetrating Oil. It remains in excellent condition, though very dark. Would there be any benefit to switching to Armstrong-Clark Mahogany Hardwood & Softwood Wood Stain for Wood Decks? Would there be any compatibility or special prep issiues?

Massanaruba(sp?) deck. +/- 10 years old. Stripped and stained with AC Mahogany stain for hardwoods 2 years ago. Fading already, is this normal? Should I try a different stain? If so, just clean, not strip? If I stay with AC clean and brighten? Should I use a brightener? Great website, good advice. Thanks.

Do you have a sealer product that you would recommend to use on dried 1" x 2' bamboo(wired together to create a short fence) that would help to slow the blackening that can happen when left in the weather? Understand that there is nothing to 'stop' the degradation. Thank you very much.

Hello, Can you ship Defy Wood Stain (2 gallons) to France? Thanks!

Hello I have a larger cedar deck that is appropriately 7 years old.it measures 12 x40ft.

Last time I sealed it I sanded the deck down before applying a transparent sealer. The sealer has burnt off and now the cedar is exposed again.

I don't want to sand it again if possible . I have scrubbed the deck but it is still somewhat grey. The surface has some fine fuzz as well. There is also some discoloration around the screw holes.


What do you recommend?

What is the process to ship to Toronto Ontario Canada?

Thank you

Hi - We are seeing tiny bugs all over our deck and I thought we had bought something from you in the past that we would mix in with the stain to get rid of them. I just can't remember what it's called?

Stained a new pressure treated deck with Armstrong-Clark semi solid 3 years ago. Deck is in full sun and I have had significant sun fading so wanted to use 2 coats this time. Armstrong Clark's web site says no to 2 coats of semi solid. Do I have to wait a year before applying a second coat? Thanks in advance.

I have a very large pressure treated deck that is 3 years old - nothing has been done to it. What would you recommend. One half of it gets morning sun, the other half gets some afternoon sun (shaded with trees). Live in MN. This year has been wet, wet, wet, & I need to get this project off my list of things to do. I am willing to use a semi-transparent stain/sealer, but just cant make up my mind. Leaning towards Defy, but the Armstrong-Clark looks like its a bit more forgiving in application? Help me out

Hello, I have a 10 year old cumaru deck. It's in pretty good shape and we are ready to clean and seal it again (have already done a few times). We have previously used Messmer UV plus, but I've seen some good reviews for the Armstrong Clark stain. The deck gets full sun almost all day, but we do have some areas near the house with some mold issues. Which product do you recommend for my deck and why if you have a particular reason? Thank you.
