Is it appropriate for rough textured cedar siding?
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, 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.

The best!!Easy to use one single coat will protect your entire cedar deck
Monday, 03 June 2019
It lasted 5 YEARS on my deck. After stripping, brightening and sanding I applied 1 coat which looks like a natural redwood color. My redwood/cedar deck is 40 years old so it absorbed the stain instantly but looked great for many years. I like only needing to refinish my deck every 5 years. Before switching to Armstrong it was every 2-3 years - Great product!

We will reply to your comment shortlyWe just finished staining our cedar benches with semi-transparent cedar stain and realize it is a little too reddish. Any recommendation on how the color can be toned down a bit? Yes, we made a mistake not getting sample to try it out first! :( Also is there such thing as a stain that gives you a glossy finish?

We will reply to your comment shortlyAbout three weeks after I treated my deck with the hardwood mahogany stain, some folks tracked very muddy boots all over the deck and it dried. It has ben very hard to get the mud prints off (I have hosed it, scrubbed it, etc.). Is there anything I can do to get the mud off without having to start all over and re-clean, re-brighten, and re-stain the deck?

We will reply to your comment shortlyThe entire deck is covered in furries. Should i sand or continue to stain when dried? Thanks.

We will reply to your comment shortlyOur deck is over 6 years old. It has some kind of semi-transparent stain. I plan to use the wood cleaner and brightener, then sand with pole sander and 120 grit sandpaper before applying semi-transparent rustic-brown. I am guessing I have to repeat these steps in 2 years? Deck is in NC and gets morning sun (full shade past noon) and is in NC. Also, if I need a second coat, do i jus walk over wettish first coat to apply the second coat? Thank you.

We will reply to your comment shortlyYou would need to strip and brighten for prep to remove the old coating. Do not sand. Inf the future, clean and brighten for recoats with eh same AC stains and color. See here about applying. https://www.armstrongclarkstain.com/how-to-apply-a-maintenace-coat-of-armstrong-clark

We will reply to your comment shortlythank u for replying. I just ordered the stain and prep kit! We had the deck professionally power washed in April this year. Do we need to rent power washer for staining or will a regular hose with jet stream attachment do? The deck including steps is abt 140 sqft. I've only ordered one gallon.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI just sanded my porch for probably the first time in 90 years. As you can see the wood is not in the best condition in some places. However, it is covered so I don’t need to worry about direct sun and water damage. I’d like to use a transparent or semi transparent stain. Which do you suggest?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyClean and brighten the wood for final prep and then any color that you like will work. Most use semi-transparent colors.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI have just finished installing a redwood deck on a screened in porch. The redwood is 50+ yrs old and I removed it from another screened in porch. I will be sanding it this week with a floor sander from the local hardware store. Your stain (semi-trans Rustic Brown) should be here on Tuesday Oct. 13, 2020. Do I need to wait a few days before applying the stain and can I use a roller to apply the stain? Can I use paint thinner for clean up?
Thanks-

We will reply to your comment shortlyI have a natural cedar deck with several new/replaced boards. The original boards are a nice weathered grey but the new boards are obviously the new warm red tone. What stain would I use to help make it all look like one color? Any special prep required?

We will reply to your comment shortlyDoes the Driftwood Semi-Transparent Stain mimic the old Cabot's Bleaching Oil or is it a totally different animal.
Looking to apply on #1 Cedar Sidewall Shingles. -
We will reply to your comment shortlyI have a large-ish bamboo deck (specifically, bamboo fibre). Wondering if the 'regular' stain or the hardwood stain is called for.
Also, are brushes and pads equally good for application? Ideally, I'd like to use a pad. Roller is out, I know, and I'd rather not have to hand brush due to the size of the deck.-
We will reply to your comment shortlySorry but the AC stains will not work on bamboo.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyAppreciate the answer. Can you tell me why that is? You have products for everything from cedar to zebra. Just wondering what makes the bamboo an exception.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI had a new pool deck built 2 years ago, but never stained it. About a month and a half ago, I power washed it and now want to stain using the semi transparent in Natural Oak. Is the anything else I need to do before I stain?
I live in western New York where the summers are humid and average 80-90 degrees. The deck is in full sun for most of the day.-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYou still have some gray that should be removed. Use this kit while pressure washing: https://www.armstrongclarkstain.com/restore-a-deck-kit

We will reply to your comment shortlyFound Rad and Armstrong semi trans cedar stain in basement of older house we bought.
Rad did fabulous job in preparing deck, as you can see from the pics, but it has rained every other day for a week. Temps in the mid to high 20s Celsius. 1: How long after last rain before I can stain? 2: Is brushing preferred over rolling.?(or rolling then brushing) 3:And is this older Armstrong the same as the Armstrong Clark stains and can I top it up with a gallon of semi cedar if needed? 4: is there any advantages to applying a second coat?-
We will reply to your comment shortly1. 48 hours
2. brushes or stain pads are best
3. The old stain has gone bad most likely. Use fresh product
4. Only if needed
