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.
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.

Hi - how long (# months ?) should I let my new Douglas-fir deck age before I apply your rustic brown semi-transparent stain for the first time ?
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
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?
I've just install new cedar deck and am needing answers regarding prep and staining. We ordered 4 gallons of AC stain last week but I've seen many different opinions about this process. Some say prep/stain new cedar right away and others say wait. I'm also questioning whether to use only sodium percarbonate or only oxalic acid as the prep.
I am refinishing an older deck that has been stripped, sanded, and washed. It measures 5 x 10 and has railings on only two sides. I'd like to stain it with the Armstrong semi-transparent. Should I apply two coats? And...if so, would one gallon of the product be enough for two coat coverage? I have to mail order the product, so I want to be sure I have enough before starting.
Is there a certain colour that you could recommend in the semi-transparent stain which works best with new brown coloured pressure treated deck boards and lumber?
I've been told that you can apply the semi transparent stain with a garden sprayer. Could you tell me what brand and model of you recommend? I have seen conflicting information that you can and cannot apply with a garden sprayer. I would like to apply mine this way because of a large amount of lattice I need to stain.
Thank you
is there a mold or mildew additive in Armstrong Clark semi-transparent stain for decks/fences?
i see that all your oil deck stains should not be thinned....Can boiled linseed oil be added?
my 18 year old wood deck is around 18" off the ground....it is made of treated 2x6 (never been coated with any deck finish). i plan on removing all boards,running through my thickness planer and giving a quick sanding with 100 grit before applying your finish....do you see any complications?
thank you and i look forward to hearing back. james
On my cedar porch floor, will the clear Natural color be invisible (meaning, the floor will look exactly as it did before)? Or will it appear oiled (meaning, a darker "wet" look, with the grain being more visible)?
No need to worry about UV, so I don't need much pigmentation. But I want the vibrancy that occurs when the wood is wet with oil or water. Thank you!
Using the Natural means you will most likely have to prep and reapply every 12-18 months. Semi-trans will last closer to 2+ years. We would highly suggest trying some samples from our site.
I will try the samples....I can get back to the natural colour of the wood with the cleaner and prep even waiting until spring? I am in Toronto Canada and will have winter to deal with. Thanks again.
