Q:I'm planning to paint a new pressure-treated pine wood fence in a Cedar natural tone but still 'm not sure is the Acrylic Semi- Transparent choice would be better than the Transparent one. Why this is not a Stain & Sealer?

After 6 days of drying, it’s still tacky
Had a new deck built back in May 2022. Allowed 4 months for the new pressure treated wood to dry out. I prepped with Behr’s all in one deck cleaner as instructed, rinsed and let dry for 24hrs. Applied 2 coats of Behr natural cedar tone stain and sealer with a nylon brush with 24hrs between each coat.
6 days have passed and the surface is squeaky while walking on it. The rain is also pooling on the boards rather than beading.
Not sure what to do at this point.

Hi there, thank you for your review. Sorry to hear that after six days the stain is still tacky, I'd recommend lightly cleaning the surface with soap and water and that should help to remove the tackiness. Even though the water is pooling instead of peeling, the stain is still protecting the wood. Customer satisfaction is important to us, and we appreciate your feedback.

Awful Product
Applied exactly as spec-ed, including cleaning etc. This peeled and look terrible after one winter. This happened over the entire deck including very low traffic areas and the seat back.

Hi JoshP, thanks for taking the time to review our Premium Transparent Wood Finish. I'm sorry to hear about the peeling on your deck! This isn't the experience we want our customer to have. To fix it, I recommend removing the peeling coating, cleaning the surface with our All-In-One Wood Cleaner, and applying two new coats of stain following the spread rates. Customer Satisfaction is very important to us, so feel free to reach out to our Customer Care team directly for further assistance. They are always happy to help. Enjoy the rest of your day. -Christina

Read The Instructions
I decided to stain a 16 x 16 deck this year. I did not read the instructions before I started painting halfway through I started to see lap marks. I went back to read the instructions and realize I needed to do one plank at a time from one end to the other to prevent lap marks. Before I realize that I bought a sprayer that also failed end up using a roller from one into the other and by that time it was too late. At the end of the season I will redo the deck and I will paint from one end to the other end and maybe it will help me get rid of some of the lamp marks. I do recommend this paint it is a very rich color but read the instructions first.

The transparent stain is excellent for cedar wood. It's so much better than the semi-transparent which covers up the wood grain. I had to sand down the entire semi-transparent, and switch to this, but it was worth it. Use the lambskin applicators instead of a brush

Great
I have no idea what type of wood people are using this on, but there is nothing orange about it, it's a cedar color just as indicated. I cleaned the deck with Behr all in one wood cleaner prior to applying and this morning the dew is already beading up. This is not anything like paint as some people said, it is totally a stain, and applies as such. Great product from Behr as usual.

horrible product
3 months after putting on this product it is chipping away in several areas. My deck was new and cleaned with Behr products. I used two coats.. drying thoroughly in between. I’m very dissppointed, I have to remove this product and redo entire deck.

Response from BehrAug 12, 2021
Hello, thank you for your review. I’m so sorry the stain is chipping in several spots. If the chipping is isolated to only certain spots, I recommend removing any loose coating, cleaning the surface with our All-In-One Wood Cleaner, letting it dry, then touching up the affected areas. If it’s more widespread across your deck, then it’s best to fully remove the coating, clean, and reapply the stain as you mentioned.

Total Failure After Three Years
I applied this product on my new deck after waiting a while as my deck contractor recommended. The deck was prepared with Behr products as recommended. I applied two thin coats as directed by the label three years ago. One year ago I cleaned the deck and reapplied. In six months I began to see pieces peeling off. Now all horizontal surfaces are in total failure. Very disappointing.
The warranty only pays for the cost of the product, with receipt. This is going to cost a lot to strip the whole deck an reapply. Do not use this product!

Hi Bobb, thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear that the coating peeled so soon. This is not typical, and I understand your disappointment. If the issue is widespread, I recommend removing the coating, cleaning the surface with the All-In-One Wood Cleaner, and recoating.
