Questions & Answers
Can this be covered with Truck bed coating?
The Product Information says that this is 57503A-01, which is the oil-based version and not the hybrid water-based (56503). Is this accurate? I am looking for the oil-based cedar tone formula. Please confirm whether the Model number is 57503A-01 oil
Yes this is for the oil resin based stain. It is only available in select markets depending on VOC regulations in your area.
Which of your products is safer to use in raised vegetable beds?
Please call us at 1-800-441-9695.
how long should I wait before Appling to a new redwood fence
Redwood usually isn’t pressure treated, so you should be able to clean, allow to dry 24-48 hour and then stain right away unless it is green or freshley cut. . To talk to a specialist, please call 1-800-441-9695.
Any idea why the product would be forming dark brown waxy clumps during use? Used a 3/8" high density knit roller successfully for 30 feet, but once the clumps started I couldn't get rid of them even with fresh rollers.
Please call 1-800-441-9695 to talk to a specialist. We would love the opportunity to help you with this issue.
Can I apply 2 coats for extra protection
No, do not apply multiple coats. This product must absorb into the wood on application and a second coat will not. Apply one thin coat. To help avoid lap marks, apply to only a few boards at a time keeping a wet edge. Do not saturate or puddle on horizontal surfaces.
Is this oil based stain
This is an Acrylic/Oil Resin stain. It is cleaned up with soap and water.
Can this be used on walminized deck? & how long do you have to wait to apply after new deck is built?
Yes, it can, but I would let it weather about 3 months. To talk to a specialist please call 1-800-441-9695.
