*Sherwin, not Sherman. It's spelled right out for you on the can. Also, it's a one coat system, unless you're applying "wet-on-wet," which can be a real PITA on large areas with few natural breaks.. Excessive film build, resulting in tackiness and shiny spots will occur with multiple coats.
Awesome three part video!! Hind sight do you think it was needed or worth using the chemicals? I've pressure washed and going to sand would love your input.
Thanks for video, application looked great there at the end! How did this hold up after 1 year? The deck stain pro vid made things look quite moldy with the oil-based. Curious to hear your take. Thanks!
Hoping you can help me as I am in the planning/prepping stages of refinishing my deck. Your videos were extremely helpful. I have looking into many stains and feel oil is the way to go. For oil based decks needs to be dry correct? If I plan to power wash and then sand how much time should I wait for deck to dry? Like Can I power wash one day sand the next and then stain the next day after that? Wondering how much time was between all of your videos. Also when you restain for up keep will you do the process all over again or just restain before it wears? Sorry for all the questions we have a HUGE deck and I want to get it right! Thank you!
I'm glad I could be of assistance! I agree that oil based stain is a great option. When I do it again, I will only sand the deck instead of doing both. I would wait for a good stretch of dry days 3 or 4 to make sure the deck is completely dry, then sand it. Sanding should remove all old stain or paint without the need for power washing. After sanding you should apply the stain within the next 24 hours. Make sure all the saw dust is removed before staining. I would also only apply 1 coat of stain. 2 costs are unnecessary. If I were you I'd skip the power washer and go straight to sanding
@@billbrown1380 Regarding the statement of "making sure the saw dust is removed", any tips on how, I would think a good sweeping but looking for input. Great how to vids by the way.
@@luskanraider thanks! I used a leaf blower after I swept. Also, you can get a damp towel and wrap it around the end of a push broom and do a once over with it.
Listening to that hornets nest of blowers behind you is really annoying. I’m using that same finish on a redwood deck, transparent red cedar. None of them seem to last. If it’s a transparent finish, probably good for a year, but should be able to be lightly pressure washed and re coated without having to strip. BTW. Instructions on the can state that this is a one coat system.
