A:  Hi there, thanks for your question.

      A:  Hi Coop, thanks for the question, Our Transparent Waterproofing Exterior Wood Finish can be applied over the existing stain. I'd recommend cleaning the surface with our All-In-One Wood Cleaner to neutralize the surface and help with the adhesion of the stain.

          easy to brush on, deep color with 2 coats
          This water-based stain and waterproofer is very easy to brush on. It can be worked a little before it starts to dry--more like paint than polyurethane in workability. Dries quickly in summer air; can be recoated in two hours. Applied to an outdoor work bench purchased from HD a couple years ago that was weathered badly. After sanding (see photos), applied 1 coat and it looked OK, but the second coat made it look beautiful. It has not been through a winter so I can't say how durable it is.

            Both your “transparent” and “clear” coats are neither transparent or clear. Exchanged the first for the second and both have a brownish yellow hue and the wood takes it in and looks terrible. I’m going to have to go back now for a third time to exchange this for a product that is truly clear. I’m going to ask the clerk to open it this time before I take it home.

            Hi Sarah, thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear our transparent and clear stain did not turn out as expected. I assure you this is not the experience we want for our customers, and I understand your disappointment. The stains have a slight tint because of the UV protection. Customer satisfaction is important to us, and our Customer Care team is on standby and ready to help. Please contact us directly so we can further assist you. - Alex Behr

            Love my "new" fence
            I really like Behr products and this stain was no exception. It went on easily and repels rainwater very well. The cedar color looks great and the woodgrain shows through. I'm very happy with the results and have already received compliments on my "new" fence.

              Hi CJR9, Thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear the stain's color didn't turn out as expected.

                Beautiful color
                Absolutely love how our deck turned out using this stain. The color is gorgeous and brought new life to our deck. Used a pad and brush to apply. Highly recommend and well worth the price. Including a before photo as well to compare

                  Not Clear
                  Definitely not clear. It is a golden color when applied to pressure-treated pine lumber. Still looks good, though I was just really hoping that it was clear like it states.

                    the wood finish is not clear nor transparent
                    i would not buy this product again. the wood finish should be transparent and clear. But, I guess no one would consider this as transparent/clear. Is the label wrong?

                    Hi there, thank you for your review; I'm sorry to hear that the stain wasn't as clear as expected. Although the stain is clear, meaning you can see through it, there is a slight tint added for UV protection. Customer satisfaction is important to us, and we appreciate your feedback.

                      Do not put this on your deck
                      It's a crime that Home Depot would even sell this to their customers. Aside from the expert level technique it takes to properly blend the sealer during application, 1 year in and my deck looks terrible. The finish went from a glossy amber to a nasty grey and is peeling. I live in the pacific northwest. We have a mild climate. I can't imagine how this would look in a more extreme climate.

                      Hi Robert, thank you for your review. Sorry to hear that our Transparent Waterproofing Wood Finish is starting to peel, and the wood is gray. I can understand your disappointment with the time and effort that goes into a project like this. To fix the issue, I recommend removing the stain by sanding, power washing at a low level, or using a finish stripper. Then clean the surface with the All-In-One Wood Cleaner and let it dry, then apply 2 coats of stain per the label directions.

                        Love the finished product
                        Went on exactly as it should…works well in a sprayer and covers great. Highly recommend. I see how others say it is not clear and they are correct. It does however bring out the woodgrain and the finish is great. Also repels water really good.
