Armstrong Clark Stain 1 Gallon

Dean:

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.

Would this be the proper stain to coat new tongue and groove 1x4" covered front porch, would you recommend coating all sides before installation?

Bill G.:

Hi, I have a deck that is 8yrs. old, and has been stained approx. 3 times. I just had an addition, and need something that would cover both stained & not stained, and turn out to be the same color. Can you help ?

AC cannot be applied over a stain of a different brand. You would have to strip or sand off the old coatings.

Yves:

Hi,
I just finish installing my new western red cedar deck. I'll have to wait about 3 months to apply a stain to the wood. That takes me to beginning of October. Should i stain it before winter or just wait in spring?

Either would be fine.

G Egeland:

We are just installing a new cedar deck here in Seattle, Washington. Two questions:
1. We want to highlight the grain and tone of the wood as much as possible. What color would you recommend?
2. We want to wait 3 months for the deck to 'season', but that pushes us into the beginning of the rainy season. Would you recommend shortening the 'seasoning' time or waiting to stain until spring? Non-rainy periods become few and far between beginning in mid-September.

Any color is fine. Highly suggest you order a few samples from our site to test first. You cannot shorten the waiting period of new wood.
