Hello. Our foyer has a very old (83) brick floor on which the sealant had turned yellow. We tried several products to remove it, but no luck. Then the hurricane flooded our home and part of the sealer came up from the items in the flood water. Its inside, and we have just put up new dry wall thinking to do the brick later. Power washing would just ruin the new walls. Small area, about 8x8 feet. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

I just bought a house, and I have NO IDEA what I am doing...just learning as I go, and no ashamed to admit it, LOL.

The previous sellers have a gray roof with a dark brain deck, I am thinking they used a semitransparent stain.

I would like to take it to a dark blue (possibly solid stain? -- unless somebody has a better suggestion.)

I am trying to figure out if I need to "strip" or "clean" the previous stain.


Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

I am looking for how to order SB-442 Paver Stain Remover as a general cleaner for my brick paver driveway and walks. It appears that there is now way online to add to cart. Is it no longer available?

I have two problems first, I need stain recommendation for pressure treated pine deck. The deck is one year old and never stained. We were allowing it to dry out; however within two months it had black specks everywhere (which I’m assuming is mold/mildew) and UV graying. This was a terrible year in NC for rain, humidity and dew. We also live in a highly wooded area of Pines, Oaks and Maples. We purchased the Restore a Deck cleaner and brighter and are ready for that step but need to have stain ready. We initially planned to use TWP but were advised by a TWP dealer and others we should probably use a water based stain due to the mildew problem and that oils based stains do not do well with mildew. What is your suggestion for semitransparent stain? Second problem, we put belveled cedar siding on one side of our house in April 2018. This is the same side as 1 year old deck which gets at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight. We used CWF-UV semi transparent in Cedar tone and it looks beautiful. We used CWF 25 years ago on Cedar siding and it did great; however although it looks great the same black mildew spots are appearing on the siding. I need suggestions on how to remove this mildew and how to keep it from coming back. Can I use the Restore a Deck cleaner to remove this mold/mildew or will it strip the stain. Any suggestions or insight to this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi - installing a garapa hardwood deck and trying to decide between Armstrong Clark oil and TWP 100. Can TWP be used on hardwoods or is AC better way to go? Thanks.

I'm wanting to use Defy products on our fresh water boat dock, we replaced the wood decking 1 year ago. Please tell me the difference between Defy Marine Stain and Defy Extreme Stain?

Thank you!

Thank you for your response, your information gave me a clue to the problem. For future reference to others, it was an app called AdGuard that had to be disabled temporarily in order to have access to my cart. My order has now been shipped!

Several years ago we applied Armstrong-Clark transparent stain to a redwood deck. Simple applications, great look and no problems. We live in Wyoming and it was suggested by Armstrong-Clark that we use the semi-transparent Armstrong-Clark stain for our next upkeep coat because of our severe weather and we took this suggestion. When we opened the 5 gallon bucket, there was significantly more solids that kept settling to the bottom and despite mixing several different ways, the solids settle to the bottom of the bucket almost immediately. We have postponed out project until we know what to do differently when using this stain. What is the recommended method of keeping the stain mixed to ensure even application? Is there something we are not understanding about applying the semi-transparent stain? Thanks

What would you suggest for a KDAT T&G Southern Yellow Pine front porch floor? Will it be ready to seal immediately and we also wondered if it would be appropriate to use Wolman's Woodlife Classic on the back? Wolman suggests treating all sides prior to staining with an oil based stain. We have gotten so many conflicting opinions on how to finish this floor. I live in Pennsylvania and wondered if that would limit my choices. Thank you.

Why do neither the Sealer Store nor Defy Stain websites permit me to add product to my cart in Canada? I have received acknowledgement from both sites and am able to login okay to both but clicking on 'Add To Cart' does nothing when I try to order! I can obtain results when I click on 'Wishlist' or 'Compare'.

Do cans of Defy Extreme Clear have a shelf life and if so how long is it?

can the supreme shield SB600 be applied with a pump up sprayer?

Looking for a wet look enhancer for clay brick. Prefer matte look or satin. Live in California. Will the surebond sb-6000 work?

New western red cedar deck, 95% roof covered in on southern vancouver island. Moisture is reading 13%, but everywhere says to wait months before staining.

Given the low moisture content and that itll be raining more or less everyday in a couple of months time, should i stain now? or wait until spring?


Assuming im good to go, which product would you recommend I order from you guys? Deck is ground level over an existing patio.


Thanks in advance!

Do you recommend Defy Hardwood Stain for a white cedar deck?

I have a summer home in Diamond Beach NJ, it is a coastal home so dampness is an issue. I have a problem I am trying to solve with my EP Henry pavers. I sealed the pavers with Techni-Seal WL4 wet look paver sealer a few years ago and the pavers now have a white firm over them. I called Techni-Seal support, the first solution was to soak the pavers with Xylene applied with a chemical roller this did not help the issue. The second recommendation was to use Techni-Seal Eco stripper this was also applied with out any success. The WL4 sealer can states its made of acrylic and plasticizers. The attached photos are after the xylene and eco stripper applications, white film still visible. My question is will the Clemons concrete stripper really remove this white coating with the stripper doing the hard work? I understand once stripped the pavers will need to be power washed. If this stripper works what sealer do you recommend once the white firm is removed I do not want to use any Technique-Seal products again.

Here are the pics, i believe it is just a store bought water based sealer

It is a paver driveway. Think they used a cheap water based sealer. Looks pretty full so it needs to be maybe removed or cleaned and brightened up first.

I live in Florida and I have to reseal my driveway that was sealed with a water based sealer. I want to put on a sealer that has a wet look with a semi gloss sheen. What would you remove the old sealer with. It was sealed about two years ago. The driveway that needs to be resealed is around 1500 square feet and some other areas that have never been sealed before that is around 400 square feet.
