Armstrong-Clark's deck and siding wood stain makes use of conditioning oils that part from the drying oils in the formula. The nondrying oils penetrate into the wood and take the place of the wood's diminishing natural oils. This process revives and restores wood.

The drying oils stay on the wood surface and lock in the conditioning oils to produce a barrier that is dry to the touch. Armstrong's deck and siding wood stain contain vegetable oils in addition to transparent pigments, solvents, mildewcides and water repellents.

  • Application can be done in direct sunlight and on hot days. If the first coat of stain penetrates within 30 minutes an additional coat may be applied for extra protection.
  • Applies easily by roller, brush, garden sprayer or airless sprayer. During spraying - going back over with a brush or roller will help give a more even appearance. After 24 hours any remaining puddles or glossy spots can be removed using a dry rag.
  • Older wood is reconditioned by deep penetrating nondrying oils.
  • Drying oils lock in the conditioning oils while pigments and water repellents lock out moisture and UV damage.
  • Armstrong wood stain is compliant with all environmental standards.
  • Does not contain any offensive odors.

Coverage Area

Armstrong-Clark Deck and Siding Stain applies at 150-200 sq ft per gallon. Depending on wood porosity, actual coverage will vary.

Important

*We do not guarantee stain colors as they will vary widely depending on the wood type, age of wood, prepping of wood, and application. Small samples are available at top.

    I want to order some protection for my deck, we used cedar tone pressure treated pine so there is a color, I want to enhance the color because it faded a little in the year since we built it. What color of transparent stain would you recommend?

    Stained last spring, new cedar deck, using Armstrong-Clark. High traffic areas show wear to the stain. How can I combat this? I am ordering to stain again this fall. Used cedar-semi-transparent.

    I just cleaned my mildewy and algae loaded railings, and new (one year old unstained) deck boards. I’m almost done applying Thompson’s semi transparent natural cedar to the railings, and was going to put it on the deck until I started doing some research. I”m sold on the penetrating stains vs. the Thompson’s for ease of reapplication and other reasons mentioned on this site. I’m okay with the railing being a different color if it compliments, was thinking of doing that in the first place, looking at semitransparent cedar here. What would be recommended for the following?

    Deck Location State: New Jersey
    Shade in AM, Full sun afternoon into evening.
    Wood Type: Pressure treated pine
    Mold or Mildew Issues: No
    Previous Coating? New wood, no previous coating. One year old and cleaned last week.

      Hi Tony, the Armstrong Clark semi-transparent Cedar would very well for this. It is a full penetrating stain that can be easily maintained as needed with a clean and recoat.

    If I apply transparent stain over an earlier application of transparent stain, will I still have to strip the old stain if it's not immediately porous, or can I just let the transparent settle where it will in the gaps of the old transparent stain?

      Armstrong · 05/28/2018
      if you are using the same color and the same brand as last time, you use the Cleaner and Brightener Kit. If the new coating is a different brand and or color, you use the Stripper and Brightener Kit.

    Hi, I'm working on refinishing a deck that currently has peeling paint (applied by previous owner). I'll be stripping the paint and using RAD cleaner/brightener on the wood. For 220 sq ft, how much stain should I get?

    Also, would the leftover stain be suitable for outdoor furniture application (on pine, for example)?

    Thanks.

      2-3 gallons. It is not suggested for furniture.

        Thanks for the reply. What would be the best way to determine number of coats required (1 or 2)?
        • We will reply to your comment shortly
          Armstrong · 05/24/2018
          The 2-3 gallons was for two coats applied wet on wet. If older wood and very porous, this is the way to go.

    Hello,

    Fence:
    About 900 sq/ft of aged redwood fence. Will strip, brighten then I'd like to apply the Woodland Brown via an airless sprayer and finish with a brush. Will utilize power washer to rinse the strip/brightener.


    Deck:
    Four year old deck with semi trans stain; will also strip, brighten then I'd like to mix the cedar and redwood tones together (transparent) and apply via a pad. Deck is estimated at 500 sq/ft with railings included. Will utilize power washer to rinse the strip/brightener.

    Suggestions with gallons for fence and deck and/or method(s) is much appreciated. Cart is ready to trigger.


    Cheers!

      Hello,

      Does the fence include both sides for 900 Sq feet? If so, you will need 5-7 gallons for the fence. Just one coat.

      The deck will need 2 coats applied wet on wet. About 4-5 gallons.

    Does the transparent natural offer any UV protection?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      Armstrong · 04/03/2018
      Yes it does but being the lightest tint, it will have the least amount of UV protection.

    Hello, Just asked a question in a forum. Not sure if that was the correct place. Thought I’d try it here also. I’m refurbishing a redwood deck using cleaner, brightened, and Armstrong Clark cedar colored transparent stain. I also have some hemlock garage doors that need attention. Should I use the same process and products on the hemlock? Thank you.

    I have purchased Armstrong-Clark semi-solid stain for my wood garage door. The temperature where I live has taken a sudden drop with highs getting only into the mid 50's for the next week. Will I be able to apply the stain this week if the temp will dip below 50 overnight?

      As long as it does not drop below freezing at night, you will be good.

    My deck is cedar about 15 years and I will be replacing a few board with a cedar composite.
    It has been stain most of time with TWP 101 Cedartone, being a transparent is not getting done.
    I would like to maintain the cedar look if possible.
    What type of stain would you recommend?
    I am thinking Semi-Solid Mountain Cedar.
    Thank You for your input.
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      Armstrong · 10/16/2017
      Yes, that color would work. Make sure to remove the TWP first by using the Restore A Deck Stripper Kit.

    I'm staining 857 sq ft of deck with railings, pickets are metal. I have 5 gallons of Armstrong natural transparent. Some of the deck is 3 years old some new. will prep with RAD. How many more gallons do you think I will need? If I order an additional 5 gallon pail, will the partial contents store OK for later use?

    Opened stain will not last more than 12 months. You will need about 5-8 gallons total. Unopened singles gallons will last many years if stored where it cannot freeze.

    We are ordering your semi transparent stain for our new kiln dried cedar deck. Decking, skirting and stairs total approximately 600 sq ft. How many gallons should we order? Do we also need or order the cleaner and brightened and if si, how much? Thank you.

    Yes on the prep. One kit will do. For the deck, just one coat. 3-4 gallons.

    I replaced all my deck floorboards 20x18 with new pressure treated pine about 2 months ago. I want to use an oil base stain to preserve most of the wood grain. I live in Illinois near Chicago so we get some pretty tough winters. Please adise.

    I just sanded my mahogany deck down to the bare wood. Do I still need to use a stripper and brightener now? Also, I would like to keep the stain more natural/ transparent in color. Will your transparent stain work for a hardwood mahogany deck or do I need to go with amber?

    Use the cleaner and the brightener for the final prep. Need to use the amber for hardwoods like yours.

    I have done multiple color tests with your products and settled on the plain natural as I want the wood grain to show as much as possible. If I decide to change to one of your more pigmented stains so I don't have to re- treat as often, can I use right over the natural or do I have to remove before applying. Love how it looks but am getting old and may not want to treat so frequently in the future and sounds like the pigmented stains last longer. Thanks for supplying the little free samples. Really made me able to do enough sample tests to get the perfect color (cedar and amber too orange, rustic cedar too brown) so fussy I know! thanks

    As long as you prep with the Restore A Deck Cleaning Kit, you can go from a lighter color to a darker color.

    how many gallons do I need for a 10'x40' deck?

    If you have railings, steps, etc, you will need to add that into the sq. footage. For 400 sq. feet you will need about 3-4 gallons.

    withersa:
    I'm looking for something as close to a clear as possible. I have T&G cedar paneling that will get very little sunlight if any (under a covered porch roof), and I love the natural look with the grain and color variations. However, every sample stain I've tried covers up the color variation and makes it uniform in color, even very light tinted stains. Will the Natural do the same?

    Final color varies by wood type. The AC does not cover color but enhances the grain.
