james mcdonald"]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[/quote]

Yes on the additive for mildew.
No, you cannot add linseed oil and there would be no benefit.

After your prep, you should clean and brighten for the final prep.

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!

Natural is tinted and not clear so it will enhance the grain similar to as if wet with water. We sell online.

I'm hoping to by locally to save time and shipping fees, but I can't seem to find any info on that. Surely you aren't limited solely to online sales? Thanks,

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.

For the most part, you will be able to restore the natural wood color.

Hi,

I have just finished installing a cedar deck and skirt boards and have learned through your Q&As that I should wait until the spring to apply the finish. I really want to preserve the look of the cedar and am concerned that I will not be able to get that look back through the cleaning and prepping process in the spring. Also I was thinking about using the transparent natural but you have indicated that it is not as U/V resistant as a semi. Would that mean I would have to prep and reapply more frequently than using a tinted semi? Also, I know you cannot guarantee the final finish but if I went with a tinted semi what would give me the closest to natural cedar look the cedar of the western red cedar? Deck boards I have used have a lot of red, white and golden hues. Thanks

We have a roof top deck in Chicago with cedar wood planters and caminets painted with driftwood semi transparent. It has been about 3 summers and I am thinking about applying a coat on top. Is any prep required or can I apply directly over the the stained wood? Thank you.

Yes it does need to be prepped:

Is this product safe for a cedar shake roof?

Does the Natural tone offer UV protection?

Natural being the lightest has the least amount of UV protection. You can use this on cedar shake roofs. Best to use a semi-transparent color.

Hello there,
Can I get semi-solid mahogany colour deck stain?

Thanks, Clive.

The Mahogany only comes in the semi-transparent and we do not custom mix or blend.

I am sanding my old pt deck down to remove the weathered layer/dirt, etc. Is it necessary, then, to utilize a pressure washer in the cleaning/brightening stage? Or can I just use a hose with a pressured nozzle (nothing like a pressure washer, of course).

You can use the hose and pressure nozzle, but a pressure washer is much faster.

Hello, I have a 16 year old pressure treated pine deck. I am currently sanding off the top layer so I can get to the good wood. Plan to use the Restore clean/brighten kit before staining.

1. Must ALL of the gray on the wood be removed, or will the cleaner/brightener take care of any small spots that I may have missed. Between the spindles is difficult to get to.

2. I've read some comments on another site that even after curing the color "wiped off on our clothes". A replier questioned whether there was any "back wiping" which would remove the curing oils. Can you comment and recommend THE BEST way to apply your stain?

3. The newly sanded pt deck has a greenish hue as one would expect. We are not picky on the color.......which would you recommend that would give a nice finish?

1. Remove as much as you can. Shoot for 95%.
2. Apply evenly and let dry/cure into the wood without back wiping. It will fully dry.
3. Any color that you like will work.

It does not include railings. Best to times the height of railings by the length and then add that to the floor sq. footage.

Also, I have about 185 sq. ft. of actual deck floor....not counting the railings or spindles. Does your coverage rate include the railings or must I add that to the 185? If not, with 3ft railings is there a way to approximate the additional square footage with this deck?

Do you have any better color charts than the one available on http://www.armstrongclarkstain.com/armstrong-clark-stain-1-gallon ?

The "rustic brown" looks purple. And the "sierra redwood" looks unnaturally red.

Se have samples to test on this link:

Raymond Yamasaki:

Hello, I want to order the Armstrong Deck Stain in Rustic Brown however, I would like to lighten the color so what other stain can I purchase to mix it with to accomplish this? Also, I don't want to make it yellow or orange in color but keep it brown color. Purchase Natural Tone as well and mix it 1:1 ratio? I am staining western red cedar (new wood).

Thank you.

regards,
Raymond

Yes you would want to mix Natural into it to lighten. As for ratio, hard to say as we do not know how much you want to lighten it? Best to test some ratios first.
