      Q:Can this be applied to a painted deck? Will it still absorb the same?

      Answer This Question

      A:  Hi Katy, thanks for your question. Yes, our Premium Solid Color Stain & Sealer can be applied over a previously painted deck. This product forms a protective film over the surface instead of penetrating the bare wood like an oil-based stain would. Hope this helps! -Christina

          Easy application. Beautiful color as I expected. The square feet estimate was pretty close to accurate.

            This stuff is Magic!
            My wood deck is 17 years old and really showing its age. It was haphazardly stained once, about 8 years ago. I'm so glad I chose Behr's Waterproofing Stain & Sealer, as it goes on thick and covers the old, tired look of the wood like paint. It's not too thick; just easy to use with brush or spray (I used both), like latex but it never even dripped. I had to get about 4 gallons to do 2 coats and a small fence, but much cheaper than replacing the deck. At first glance my deck looks like composite! It's weathered the summer heat, we'll see how it does through the northern Ohio winter. Great color selection, too.

              The paint was very even and easy to apply to my old boards. The coverage was good and two different cans produced even results. Highly recommended!

              A Two Day Project That Paid Off!
              We decided to go with wooden railings instead of aluminum railings on our composite decking due to cost. I wanted a modern look similar to the aluminum railings and this Slate color is a perfect pitch black that is NOT transparent, it’s as solid black in color as the aluminum balusters are! Never painted railings before, so I researched and put 2 solid days of effort into the project; day 1 using the Behr cleaning solvent and a deck scrub brush, and day 2 painting/staining!

                It has sticky, rubbery and weat feeling. Takes longer to get dry. It has true waterproof properties, hides wood imperfections really well and looks premium

                Hi there, thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear that your stain is sticky, rubbery, and seems to have a wet feeling. That is not typical. Our Solid Color Waterproofing Stain & Sealer should be completely dry and cured after about 72 hours. However, high humidity can extend the dry time. To fix the stain, I recommend letting that dry for a week with as little foot traffic as possible. If that does not resolve the issue or you cannot give it the additional time to dry, you can gently wash the coating with soap and water after 72 hours to remove that.

                Deck - solid color stain
                Behr is a good product. It went on & covered well. Compliant is the final color did not match the samples. Purchase the Chestnut but when applied came out a lot lighter; more like cider. Not entirely happy with it but can live with it. Too much work to redo. Do recommend the Behr product just get a shade or 2 darker than you are looking for.

                Hi Bill, thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear that your color turned out lighter than expected. Colors are typically influenced by the lighting and surroundings of a project, which is why samples are a great way to ensure you can achieve your desired color. In any case, customer satisfaction is important to us, and we appreciate your feedback.
