Q:can this be applied with a pump sprayer
by|Mar 17, 2023
1 Answer
Answer This Question

A:  Hi Rook, thank you for your question. Yes, the Waterproofing Exterior Wood Finish can be applied with a high-quality pump sprayer with a variable tip. Work in small sections and immediately back-brush or use pad applicator to eliminate puddling and evenly distribute the finish. Good luck with your project! -Giovanna

    Q:Can I apply a second coat if it has been over 72 hours since the first?
    by|Feb 21, 2023
    1 Answer
    Answer This Question

    A:  Hi Dave, thanks for the question. Yes, you can apply a second coat of stain after 72 hours. You will want to ensure the surface is clean before applying the second coat. If the coating has completely cured, it's recommended to clean the surface with our All-In-One Wood Cleaner. Have a great day! -Ronald

      Q:I recently added some fence the original was coated with Behr 400 stain. I this the same?

      Answer This Question

      A:  Hi John, thanks for the question. The Premium Waterproofing Wood Finish is similar to the 400 Waterproofing Wood Finish but not the exact same product. The Premium Waterproofing Wood Finish has a 6-year warranty on fences and the Deck Plus Waterproofing Wood Finish that you originally used has a 4-year warranty on fences. Have a great day! -Ronald

          Peeled off and scratched
          Associate told me this would be best for waterproofing my new deck for the first time. I wanted a light natural color. He chose a color and said it wouldn't be dark. The deck was stained June of 2022. After 2 months I started seeing scratches in the finish. Now that spring is on its way, the snow has melted off the deck. There is peeling finish all over the place. Besides it looking horrible, the color that was mixed with it was chocolate, so it was dark making it look worse. I don't know how I am going to get this to look nice ever again.

          Hi CindyP, 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. I recommend removing the loose coating, cleaning the surface with the All-In-One Wood Cleaner, and recoating. You can use the clear finish this time around, which will have a slight tint for UV protection, but will not be too dark. Customer satisfaction is important to us, and we appreciate your feedback. Please reach out to us directly if you need further assistance. Our customer care team is happy to help you! -Giovanna Behr
            It "water proofs"....bu
            The waterproof side of the product wroks as advertised but the"clear" product turns redwood quite yellow. One would assume clear means clear. Not so much. The gate and fence in the photo are 2 1/2 years old. The finish was put on new redwood at the time of construction.

            Hi there, thank you for your review. I’m sorry to hear that the color didn't turn out as expected. Although the stain is clear, it does have a slight tint to help with UV protection. Also, the color of the wood can influence how the color will turn out. It is a great idea to sample colors first when possible.

              2 years product, will start peeling
              I put this product on my cedar deck in June of 20 ( after a complete sand down). The product started to peel after the 2nd year. The green and black mold started to show after even after power washing with spray bleach. The mold seems to have gotten underneath the finish. Love the golden color but is far from Natural ..................

              Hi doover, thank you for your review. I'm terribly sorry to hear that our Transparent Waterproofing Wood Finish is peeling after two years. This is not typical, and I can understand your disappointment. To fix the issue, I recommend removing the coating using a wood stripper or sanding. Then, clean the surface with our All-In-One Wood Cleaner to remove any active mold growth and brighten the wood. Once dry, apply two coats of the finish per the label instructions.

                Beautiful finish on new cedar fence
                One moderate coat gave me fantastic results on my 6-week-old western cedar fence (Denver, CO area). Used 2 1/4 gal. of BEHR Clear Transparent Waterproofing Exterior Wood Finish on 75 feet of 6-ft high fence. Water beading off nicely.

                  Not clear at all!
                  This "clear" coat isn't clear. I'm very disappointed that it wrecked my beautiful pine siding. I tried all the big box brands and this is the less crappy one. Olympic was almost mustard yellow... I tried all methods of applying it and the brush worked best.

                    Two years later review
                    We applied this wood finish two years ago to our new fence (Seattle weather). It looked great for the first 1.5 years. After 1.5 years, I’ve noticed the color fading a little on the vertical surfaces, but it still looks good. On the horizontal surfaces like the 2x4 cedar piece on top of the fence, the finish is peeling like paint and the wood already has a gray patina.. I don’t think this finish will last for the 6 years it says with the horizontal surfaces already failing.

                    Hi Jason, thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear that your fence is fading and peeling on some spots. This is not the experience we want for our customers, and I understand your disappointment. I recommend sanding the loose coating off, cleaning the surface, and touching up or recoating as needed.

                      Doesn't clean well
                      My dogs have left muddy paw prints on the deck. It POURED down rain last night and the prints did not wash off?? I think it will come off with some effort but I should not have to scrub my deck!!! I do enough cleaning inside. I put a lot of work into this deck. Very disappointed

                        Great product
                        I have never refinished a deck before. The instructions were easy to follow and product went on well after preparing the surface. I applied 2 coats within 2hours of each other using a roller brush on main deck and paint brush on posts and steps. The natural color shows well and repels water now as it is supposed to.
