- I used this deck stain on the recommendation of the guy in the stain department. I'll show you how well it held up after 1 year and 3 years. Also, I'll show you how I solved problems re-staining decks, I should say re-staining weather beaten decks.

Great tip!

There is a product called C2Guard that I’ve been using for about 10 years when I build decks for people and have had good results with. Apparently it has ‘nano’ technology so it seeps deeper into the wood. But the main advantage for me is it lasts several years and doesn’t flake and chip as it ages. So when it comes time to re-coat, there is very little prep, no sanding/scraping. Needs the right conditions to apply like all stains, preferably on the cooler side and not in direct sun.
@@MartyPollioA year might be long, PT spruce can start to crack and check already by then, but you do have to wait for the moisture to come out. I mostly build cedar and one season is typically enough. After a year there is too much greying, at least around here, very sunny, hot summers.
On C2Guard website, there is a test if the wood is ready. Basically if a drop of water soaks in rather than sits on the surface. With pressure treated, there is a lot of variation from piece to piece, so I'd do several tests in different areas.
This is why I am leaning towards using Benjamin Moore. If anything they would know what the old color was exactly and find how to make it right with whatever new product they would carry.
I hear it's the best quality paint, I guess that's true for their stain as well.
Solid stains are great toll their not. They last a yaar longer but are a mess to get off when you need to re apply.
I haven't tried to re-apply yet. What about a light sanding and then applying the same color stain?
Just saw you toiket video. Made a comment. About a seal called a one and done seal . It made for low and out of level toiket flanges..
Good Info,
*Thank you for Shiring*
By4Now,
Ken hear
I live about 3 hours south, in Central IL., I need to stain my deck. Which stain do you recommend? My neighbor suggested the PPG Ultra Advanced Solid. I noticed on Menands website they do off that product as well as PPG Paramount Stain.
@hartlanddetailer5670 It depends on how often you will refresh them. I think stains look better, but they give you less protection so they will need to be re-covered after ...I don't know, two years, maybe even every year. A solid MAY give you 3 years, as long as you apply it right. Don't lay it on too thick or it will chip off quicker. Just make sure you get good instructions on that.
Lol, slides ARE underrated.
If it has dirrect sun most of the day it will dry faster . Thats why you didnt have an issue
Decks are really a PITA. You put a nice color and then you have to redo it every 2-3 years. Ugh.
