Stains combine maximum color and UV protection with a tough alkyd resin. The results are a completely opaque finish that imparts lasting beauty for deck surfaces. Containing 100% alkyd resin, these solid color stains are extremely durable and are formulated to withstand foot traffic and wear. These stains are excellent for use on most types of exterior wood decking, including pressure-treated pine, red and white cedar, fir, cypress, redwood, and on hardwoods such as mahogany, cambara, merani, and other exotic wood species. Made from special blends of alkyd resins along with all-natural pigments. Apply evenly with a brush, spray, or roller. Best results can be obtained by using a high-quality, natural bristle brush. If you must spray or roll, always backbrush immediately after each section is coated to ensure proper penetration. Dries to a uniform opaque finish. On smooth surfaces, covers approximately 400 Sq. Ft. to 500 Sq. Ft. per gallon, less on rough surfaces. Clean up with mineral spirits.
