How long should I wait too stain a new cedar fence? Thanks.
Asked by Jak December 3, 20202
AnswersMy initial thought is forever. But I like aged cedar. Your area has a lot to do with it. Amount of sun and the temperature over a period of at least 2 weeks above 70 degrees. The cedar needs a drying period. 30 days is typically a good waiting period. The most important factor is going to be moisture in the wood. If the wood was well stored prior to erecting the fence, a couple weeks of fair weather should be satisfactory.

Is this product good to use on previous stained wood with the old oil base Olympic Stain>?
Asked by Dickram101 August 7, 20201
AnswerThis can be used over existing stains. This will adhere best to porous or semi-porous surfaces. However, it will still adhere to worn stain coats. We'd still recommend cleaning and sanding the area if possible.

Customer review from olympicstains.comJul 22, 2020
Chestnut brown color does not match color chart or Semi-solid
This stain covers well but the Chestnut Brown color does not match the Olympic chart or the same color in the semi-solid. Tried multiple gallons. The store checked the mix several times and each time it came out the same wrong color. Contacted Olympic and got no response. The bottom color in the picture is the semi-solid and is the correct color. The top color is the solid and is clearly wrong. I now have a mud brown deck and gallons of worthless stain.

Happy customer!
We purchased this solid stain in Chestnut Brown to refinish our deck after using the Olympic Deck Cleaner. Coverage on the product said “350-500 sq ft per gallon”. We bought 3 gallons to cover a little over 1000 sq ft. One coat was all that was needed and we still had a tiny bit left over. It was easy to work with and cleaned up easily off the paint brushes, etc. A little pricey, but it did the job well!

Do not recommend
I just stained my deck in the fall before it got cold & this is how it looks 6 months later. It didn’t even last through 1 winter and we only had snow 1 time which melted the same day.
