How much deck stain is needed
The size of your project will determine how much stain you need. Solid color stains require two coats.
Clean your deck
Sweep debris from deck then use Olympic Premium Deck Cleaner to wash away dirt and stains caused by mildew.
Prep your deck
Tape off surfaces you don't want stained. Avoid staining wood in direct sunlight to avoid uneven drying.
Wood stain application
For even wood stain coverage, apply the stain to one board at a time. For best results, backbrush into the wood surface.
Clear
Clear finish allows your wood to weather and gray naturally. Least Protection, Most Wood Grain.
Transparent/Toner
Slight hint of stain color highlights wood grain. Less Protection, More Wood Grain.
Semi-Transparent
Rich stain color that allows wood grain and texture to show. More Protection, Less Wood Grain.
Semi-Solid
Same rich stain color as semi-transparent, but hides more wood grain. More Protection, Least Wood Grain.
Solid
Fully opaque stain color covers the wood grain and accentuates the texture. Most Protection, No Wood Grain.
