Armstrong deck and siding stain utilize nondrying conditioning oils that divide from the drying side of the formula. These deep penetrating oils soak into the wood fibers where the wood’s natural oils used to be. This procedure revitalizes the wood.
The drying oils remain at the surface while locking in the conditioning oils to form a dry to the touch barrier. Armstrong-Clark wood deck and siding stains also have vegetable oils, translucent oxide pigments, mildewcide, solvent, and water repellents.
Armstrong-Clark stains are quality formulas back by five generations worth of experience in oil-based coatings together with modern technology. Armstrong-Clark wood stains can far exceed your expectations for oil-based coatings.

Can this stain be use on pressure treated wood?
Yes, it can. Works great!
I would like to keep this same color on this white oak door. Is there an oil stain that can achieve this?
No, it must be tinted for UV protection and that means the color will change or be enhanced.
What is the best roller to apply your semi transparent stain?
Do not use a roller as it can splatter. Stain pads or brushes are best:

Two years ago I restored my 1989 PTP deck and stained it with Armstrong Clark stain–it turned out beautifully. It was so successful I was one of the 2021 AC award winners. I’ve read on the web site that I should stain the deck every 2 to 3 years and need to know what preparation steps should I take. The deck continues to look terrific overall. It remains evenly stained but the appearance is not as fresh when it was first stained, and also has a little green mold starting to appear in shady spots.
Post some pics for prep advice.
Here are a couple photos.
You can easily wait until next Spring if you want. For prep, use this kit:

while pressure washing.
Do you have an online coverage estimator?
We do but it recently stopped working so we are trying to fix it. Do you have a total sq footage added up?
I just recently stained my deck, made of IPE wood, with the Mahogany stain. I completed it yesterday afternoon, so it’s been 24 hours, but now they ate saying we are about to get a lot of rain this afternoon. I’ve already had to re-sand and clean the deck once because it unexpectedly rained just 12 hours after I stained it. I’m worried about this again. It’s been exactly 24 hours since staining. Rain is coming in the next couple hours. Can I cover the entire deck with a tarp or plastic to protect it?
No, do not cover and it should be fine.
I wish I could see an attachment icon but I don’t. There is a B for Bold, an ordered list and an unordered list, plus a happy face emoji. I also see a comments with attachments icon but that is a filter I believe. Please direct me further.

I have cleaned my IPE deck with Restore-A-Deck cleaner, neutralized it with vinegar and applied a coat of semi-transparent Amber stain. The results are a disaster as you can see. What do you recommend I do now?
No pics where added.
I took a pic within the message but apparently that did not work. How can I get a picture?
Not quite sure what to do and how to proceed. I unfortunately I have had a nightmare experience with a company that I asked to stay in my deck and this is the result with the Armstrong Sierra Redwood. I do believe that probably nothing was done correctly I believe that there was probably too much stain poured on the deck and then they intern took a rag to try and wipe it all off so this is my question
What do I do now? Essentially I feel like the deck is ruined not the wood of course,but do I start over? Do I have it re-sanded and start from the beginning do everything again with a different company
I’m hoping that you can help me with this
I have no idea what the best direction is to take to rectify the damage that’s already been done
You have to remove it fully. Use this kit with pressure washing: https://www.armstrongclarkstain.com/restore-a-deck-stripper
and both additives for the stripper: https://www.armstrongclarkstain.com/restore-a-deck-stripper/restore-a-deck-stripper-additives
I recently used the Armstrong Clark stain to finish our balconies. Our house has stuccos siding and needs to be cleaned. Typically, I use a bleach and TSP combination to clean the stucco. Will this bleach/TSP solution will effect the balcony stain? It will be difficult to avoid getting it on the balconies.
The bleach will harm or “bleach” out the stain color.
