Questions & Answers
Is this oil base
This product is an Acrylic/Oil so it is considered a hybrid but it cleans up with soap and water.
I received my small 8oz sample of Cedar Naturaltone I ordered online and like it. Can the store mix it or do I have to exclusively have to order it online? The store has the base color.
Hi Carlos, You can absolutely order this in store at the tint desk. You also have the option of buying it online for pick up in store if you prefer to not wait for delivery.
How many linear feet of 6 foot high pressure treated fence will 5 gallons of elite stain cover?
Hi Kenny, Olympic Elite 5 Gallon Semi-Transparent stain will cover up to 1,750 sq. ft., though actual coverage may vary depending on application technique, wood texture, and porosity. For a 6-foot high fence, that translates to approximately 290 linear feet of fencing (1,750 ÷ 6 = ~291.7). So, under ideal conditions, one 5-gallon container should cover around 290 linear feet of 6-foot high pressure-treated fence.

My outdoor shed has been finished with a cost of your cedar natural tone semi transparent Maximum Stain and Sealant. Can I paint over this without the stain bleeding through eventually or do you recommend a primer on top of this before painting?
I would let the sealer cure for a minimum of 30 days, and then if wanting to paint it, yes, a stain blocking primer such as PPG Seal grip/gripper should be used. If you require any further assistance or have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact us directly at techservicerequests@ppg.com or 1-800-441-9695.
Why is this advertised as rain ready in two hours if it requires 24 hours of no precipitation?

Please contact us directly at techservicerequests@ppg.com or 1-800-441-9695. Thank you!
So I put this stain inside a wood bunkie at my cottage. The owner of the hardware store said I could use it inside (my bad for not doing my own research). It is not possible to strip it off. What do I do now?? Can I seal it in? Put another stain over top?
Please call 1-800-441-9695 for help with this issue.
How many coats of elite semi tranparent stain sealer should be applied. First time sealing the deck. Two years old. Can a second coat be applied two weeks after the first?
