    Does this come in spray form of any sort? It takes at least 5 layers per deck board and is extremely time consuming. Any suggestions?

    Hi Tyler89, thank you for your question. The Deckplus Semi-Transparent Stain can be applied using an airless sprayer, and at its recommended spread rate, a minimum and maximum of two coats should be applied. Have a great day! - Randy

              Answer This Question

              Hi Dave, thank you for your question. We do not recommend applying our Transparent or Semi-Transparent Stains over a primer. Our Deckplus Semi-Transparent Waterproofing Wood Stain is designed for a bare and unsealed surface. Additionally, primers are typically white, which may impact the color of the stain. Please feel free to reach out to us directly if you have any other questions. -Lina

                  Hi Eli, thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear that our stain has peeled and flaked in less than a year. We understand your disappointment since the product did not provide the 4-6 year life expectancy. Customer satisfaction is very important, and our Customer Care team is on standby and ready to help. Please contact us directly so we can further assist you with a resolution. In the meantime, the issue can be fixed by removing the remaining stain by scraping, sanding, or using a power washer at a low setting. From there, you can clean with our All-In-One Wood Cleaner, followed by two coats of stain applied according to the label directions. Again, our Customer Care team would like to hear from you to see how we can help. -Ronald Behr

                    Transformed our deck
                    We used Cordova Brown on our unfinished “new” deck that we finished about 2 years ago. We had trouble deciding on a color until we got a sample of this. Decided to go for it. We used a wool applicator pad and it worked well. It was challenging to go with the grain on our deck since the boards change direction every so many feet. Have a brush ready. After one coat it looked great, two coats it looked amazing. It still feels tacky a day later, maybe we are just used to the feel of unsealed wood.

                      We purchased this to re-stain/update our timber steps and retaining walls. They were dried out from years of neglect before we bought the home. I pressure washed per instructions and, 2 days later when dried, applied stain with a 4 inch brush. Occasionally I stirred the product to keep everything mixed up but honestly there were no lumps or heavy clusters at the bottom of the pail. When I first opened it the stain looked like chocolate milk. I was a little worried something was wrong but it went on smooth as silk and gave amazing results. You can see the water is actually beading up instead of soaking into the wood. One good coat was plenty to achieve the look we wanted and it really came out nice. I used a roller tray for my brush dipping and refilled from the 5 gallon pail as needed. That way I wasn't lugging the heavy bucket all over the place. Everything cleaned up with soap and water as directions stated. Typically we purchase Behr brand for our paint choice and never had any problems. Would highly recommend this stain to anyone looking for a pro look on a DYI budget. All in we spent $160 for stain, brush, and other items to complete this project. Being retired and in no hurry it still only took me about 2 days to finish approx. 1000 sq ft and that is with crawling under and around all the bushes.

                      It went on easily. The cappuccino was just the right color. Make sure you stir often. I do wish a long stirring stick would have been included.

                      disappointed
                      loved the sample i purchased in store however the five gallon i ordered online is not the same color it’s a very dark brown and not what i wanted. had to use since the invoice says you can’t return since it’s already mixed. used it on the back side of the fence but hoping it fades ☹️

                      Hello whitney,
                      Thanks for reviewing our Semi-Transparent Waterproofing Wood Stain. I’m sorry to hear the 5-gallon bucket didn’t turn out the same color as the sample. I can assure you this isn’t the experience we want any of our customers to have. I recommend having the formula verified. For further assistance, please feel free to reach out directly to our customer care team. Best, Roxana N. Behr

                        This product looks nothing like the color shown on the sample pamphlet. In Fact, when i came back to the store the clerk said he has been having a lot of problems with this particular color. He said he thinks the formula is wrong or the color on the in-store color brochure was incorrect. It should be immediately fixed or removed from the line. I wasted $150 on a 5 gallon bucket, which is completely useless to me now.

                        Hi ted,

                        Thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear that the color didn't turn out the way you expected! I recommend checking to see if the color was mixed correctly by comparing the dried stain dab on the lid of your 5-gallon bucket to the swatch in the brochure. If they match, the color is correct, and it would be best to continue your project with a new color. You may also want to pick up an 8 oz. sample of the new color to test out before committing to a larger purchased. If they don't match up, the color may have been mixed incorrectly, and we would recommend continuing your project with the correct color. So we can assist your with this further, please feel free to reach out to us directly. We hope to hear from you! - Sara Behr
