Love your pecan semi-transparent stain. Ideally how long should stained deck set before getting rained on? 48hrs?
Thank you! It is our most popular color, nationwide.
Yes, we recommend a full 48 hours of no rain in the forecast after staining your deck to avoid water spots forming. No traffic (people, pets, furniture replacements) for 12-24 hours, ideally, then light traffic for 36-48 hours. -
On a new fence using Pressure treated pine, what is recommendation on waiting time before applying your stain and seal. I know typically you need the wood to dry out.
We do recommend waiting until the moisture content is 13%. In most parts of the US, we see this acheived in the 3-6 week period.
-
We are putting up a new gazebo and want to make sure we give it a very good coating to avoid having to re-stain it in a couple years - is it advisable to give it 2-3 coats?
Thanks for the question! EXPERT Stain works best when you apply one heavy coat & backbrush the stain into the wood. The oils penetrate deep in the wood, conditioning it to last for years. All penetrating oil stains are designed for reaplication every 3-5 years, depending on color choice so that the oils continue to condition the wood, preventing warping, cracking, and twisting of the boards.

Will this stain attract any kind of fungus or mildew since its oil based ?
There aren't any fungus or mildew that are able to survive on paraffinic oil.
Mildew require warmth and moisture (water) to survive. Our penetrating oil is mildew resistant as long as you keep an eye on the shaded, slow to dry portions of your fence and maintain with wood cleaner. -
Can the stain and seal be applied in the sun?
Expert Professional Wood Care Stain & Seal can be applied in the heat of the sun or the cool of the winter! Just make sure to properly prepare the fence or deck surface prior to staining.

On new cedar decking what is the process for mill glaze and how many coats?
Hi Mark,
On new cedar decking we would recommend using the eco-cleaner to clean any debris and mill glaze from the surface of the wood. After it dries, you should only need one coat. New decking should use a transparent or semi-transparent due to smoother surface characteristics.
Remember to make sure the decking or fencing is dry before staining. Use a moisture meter to confirm less than 13% water content.
Thanks and for any other questions call us at (615) 785-1861
Customer Reviews
I don’t do reviews but this is definitely the best stain /sealer I have ever used . It is a little expensive I think but it does a really good job I have bought about 70 gallons of this stuff over the past few years a lot through a fence contractor so I bought more to do my decks it’s held up on my fence for about 5 years still looks good .
Penetrating oil stain protects wood from the inside out. Unmatched in application, durability and ease of maintenance. The most environmentally friendly stain on the planet. Doesn’t dry on non porous surfaces, so when I use it on a deck with metal balusters, they easily wipe clean after the job! Huge timesaver from having to mask of all those balusters! Im the owner of a deck & fence staining business and I now recommend this to all of my customers.
Closest product I have found that gave me results as the old oil stains of the past. My deck is 43 years old , and this product has put a smile on my face, in regards to final appearance. My hope is that it will last as long as the old oil stains that I can’t get anymore.Next project is 3000sq ft of Douglas fir siding.
Great store, website, communication, and shipping. Love the EXPERT Stain & Seal | Semi-Transparent Wood Stain & Sealer / Pecan we applied. Thank you all. <><
Product is excellent. The fact the price went up $10 a gallon from my first purchase is insane
