    Q:Do you have to remove old coats before restaining?
    by|Aug 28, 2023
    1 Answer
    Answer This Question

    A:  Hi Jack thanks for the question. As long as the existing stain is in good condition you don't have to remove it before applying the new stain. If there is any stain that is loose or peeling, it should be removed by scraping, sanding or power washing at a low-level. Also, before applying the new stain, the surface should be cleaned with our All-In-One Wood Cleaner. Good luck with your project! -Ronald

      Answer This Question

      A:  Hi JScar, thanks for our question. As it turns out, we don't recommend applying our Premium Solid Color Stain on a fiberglass surface. Instead, I recommend priming with our Bonding Primer and topcoating with one of our exterior paints for a durable finish. Have a great day! -Christina

        Answer This Question

        A:  Hi Debbie, thanks for the question. Our color Russet SC-117 is available in both our solid-color stains and all of our exterior paints. Our Marquee Exterior Paint is a great choice for exterior shutters and doors. It is very durable and fade and dirt resistant. Have a great day! -Ronald

          Orange red color
          I’ve used the same russet color for years and it has never had an orange red undertone. The can I recently purchased is definitely orangey and looks awful . Why has the color changed? I even have a picture of my old can to make sure I purchased the same thing.

          Hi Gardenz, thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear that your color did not turn out as expected, especially compared to your previous times using the same product. It's not typical for our colors to change, so I'm concerned that this happened. Customer satisfaction is important to us, and we appreciate your feedback. Please feel free to reach out to us directly so we can learn more about your project and assist. We look forward to hearing from you! -Lina Behr
            Worst product, prep don't matter
            Didn't make it but a few months before peeling and chipping started. Power washed a d prepped surface and still turned out horrible. Find another product as this Behr product was no good and very disappointing waste of time and money.

            Hi Ning, thank you for your review. Sorry to hear that our Solid-Color Waterproofing Exterior Wood Stain started chipping and peeling. To fix the issue, I'd recommend removing the loose stain by scraping, sanding, or power washing at a low level. 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. 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! -Ronald Behr

              WE bought this for our large wood deck in rural upstate NY where we face a large envelope of weather conditions year-round. Not only does it apply easily and looks great, it withstands the harsh seasons we endure here for longer than most other similar products last.

              Hi Chris, thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear that the color did not turn out as expected. The Russet color should not appear red, however, the color of the wood underneath will influence the way the color will turn out. You have the option of applying a solid color stain in a new color to cover it. 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's RED
                it's a bit thick, but otherwise fine stain and seal but it's RED. The can itself shows a lightly warm chocolate color, but it's so much more red, it's just awful. We bought this to very specifically to match our existing backyard furniture, having brought in a piece of it and everything, and now our new table is absolutely ruined with an awful ugly cheap red auburn color that matches nothing. I've never had an issue this severe with a color so drastically different from ANY stain or paint before. We've bought Behr for many years but this will be the last. I will be pursuing a refund, but I will never get my time back, and probably the hundreds spent on the table either.

                  most tempermental product I ever used
                  If you just happen to be an artist and can tolerate the fussiness of this semintransparent stain, then buy it. Warning: You cannot use a brush. You MUST use a staining pad. Apply carefully and lightly. You will get overlap marks and streaks. It’s shocking how good and how horrible this product can make your deck look. One area will look perfect then another wil be a mess and you have to sand most of it off and reapply.

                  Hi DesignGnome - Thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear that this stain was difficult to work with! To ensure a uniform finish, we recommend applying this product with a pad applicator, making sure to work from end to end of each board (a brush can be used for smaller areas that require more accuracy). If you've applied one coat so far, I recommend applying a thin second coat to help even out the overlapping and steakiness. If you've already applied two coats, a thin third coat can be applied after the current finish has dried for 72 hours (this will result in a more opaque finish). Alternatively, our solid stain can be applied on top for a more painted look. For further assistance with this, please feel free to reach out to us directly. We'd be happy to help. - Sara Behr

                    Stained the deck with this product. The deck was fully cleaned and prepped according to instructions supplied with the stain. The instructions also say that this product will resist rain after 4 hours. This is false. Please see the attached images. The stain was applied about 12 hours (3 times the amount of time) before rain. You can see from the images that this product did little to "resist rain," even 3 times the 4 hours specified. I called the Behr warranty department. The customer representative was EXTREMELY RUDE and UNPROFESSIONAL. I will likely avoid this brand in the future not only because of the product, but also because of the poor brand/customer service. Buyer Beware!

We are continuously working to provide our customers with great customer service interaction, and I wouldn't want you to be the exception. For further assistance, I'd like to hear more about your project. Please feel free to reach out directly to our customer care team. We'd love to help! Best, Roxana N. Behr

                      Russet Brown Semi Transparent. I stripped the paint and cleaned the wood during the summer. I then put a layer of Russet Brown Semi Transparent over the wood. I live in Portland, OR where it rains a lot, and the stain did not hold. Three months later it looks very washed out. I am going to have to re-stain the fence once again this summer. I thought spending the extra money on this brand would mean better results, not quite. Two images attached, One picture is how it looked after I painted it on in September, and the second picture is what it looked looked like 3 months later in December. Grrrr. I will not buy nor recommend this brand to anyone.
