1 gal. #ST-330 Redwood Semi-Transparent Waterproofing Exterior Wood Stain and Sealer

Yes that is a great color. I use a red stain on my fence. Protects it well.

Hi SCA, thank you for your question.The Semi-Transparent Wood Stain does not need a sealer. If you have already applied two coats, I recommend applying another coat to even out the finish. Keep in mind this will make the finish more opaque. After this, you have the option of using a water-based polyurethane. I suggest checking with your local store for a recommendation on the right topcoat to use. Good luck with your project! -Giovanna

Hi Bret, thank you for your question. The Semi-Transparent Wood Stain is designed for bare wood surfaces. For previously stained surfaces, you can use the Solid Wood Stain instead if removal of the previous stain is not doable. We recommend cleaning the surface with the All-In-One Wood Cleaner before staining. Good luck with your project! -Giovanna

Yes it penetrates well and the color really holds. *Make sure to use paintable caulking.

Water based. No thinner is needed

Hi Bala, thank you for your question. Although our Solid Color Waterproofing Stain & Sealer's Redwood SC-330 tone is very similar to our pre-tinted Oil-Latex Redwood Stain's color, the colors may not be an exact match as the formulation of each base differs. We'd suggest getting a sample of our solid stain first to ensure the color match-ability is to your liking. We hope this information helps. Best of luck with your project and happy staining. Have a great Thursday. -Joanna

Use a regular paint brush cleaner.

Hi Albert, Thank you for writing in. Behr Premium Solid Color Waterproofing Wood Stain & Sealer can be applied to old and new wood surfaces. We recommend preparing the wood with Behr All-in-One Wood Cleaner to remove mill glaze from new wood and to open the pores for better adhesion. After cleaning, the wood should dry thoroughly for about 24 hours before staining. Please feel free to reach out with any additional questions you may have. Best of luck with your project! ~Doris

Hi Kerry - Thank you for your question. While this stain is non-toxic to humans once fully cured, it was not formulated to be non toxic for pets. If pet safety is a concern, you may want to have your local vet look over the ingredients listed on our Safety Data Sheet before beginning your project. The Safety Data Sheet can be viewed by clicking on the SDS link under the Product Overview section. Hope this helps! - Sara
