Where in Indiana can I buy Armstrong wood.stain
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.

*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.

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 shortlyI just stripped and brightened my pressure-treated deck with RAD products. Got rid of many-year-old semi-solid stain. Lots of elbow grease, but came out nice!
I'm trying to decide how much semi-transparent oil based stain (rustic brown) to buy for ~175 sq ft. floor, with rails and a few steps. 2 gallons? 3?
I'd go for a 5-gallon bucket if the shelf life is long enough so I could use leftover next time. What is the shelf life and proper storage method? -

We will reply to your comment shortlyIt seems all your articles are about decks and I have questions about my new (1 month old) rough sawn western red cedar pergola. (1) Can you help me calculate how many gallons Semi-Trans Cedar I will need for a 12'x12' pergola with 11- 2"x10" rafters, 14-2"x4" purlins and boxed pilars (Pictured attached). (2) only 1 coat is required but you talk about wet on wet for a 2nd coat. What is the extra protection gained with a 2nd coat and does the 2nd oat make the stain darker? (3) Since it is brand new pergola, do I still need to prep the wood with a cleaner and a brightener or can I just power wash & let dry before applying stain?

We will reply to your comment shortlyI have a new deck using sienna treated wood. Looking to go darker and hide the knots. Can I use a semi-solid ?

We will reply to your comment shortlyThe posts and rails seemed to have come out better than deck. As it dried it appears I could use a 2nd coat on the deck floor. How long should I wait, and what prep will be needed? I thoroughly cleaned and stripped deck using the stripper and brightener and hand sanded as the pressure washer raised the grain.

We will reply to your comment shortlyYou should be able to do a light coat now. Make sure to not over apply.

We will reply to your comment shortlyHi,
I built a deck with rough sawn cedar and used Thompson Water Sealant Cedar on it and it pulled REALLY orange. I plan to strip it and use something different. The color I would like to match is Miniwax Red Oak, but that's pulling black on the rough sawn wood. Which of your products do you recommend?-
We will reply to your comment shortlyColors will vary based on wood type and age and we are not familiar with interior Minwax stain colors. Best try some samples for testing: https://www.armstrongclarkstain.com/samples

We will reply to your comment shortlyI have a cedar deck..... can I use the “natural tone “ transparent or “natural oak” semi-transparent stains or should I stay with a “cedar” stain?
Also, do the semi-transparent stains need to be removed before re-coating?
Thanks! -
We will reply to your comment shortlyI previously painted my deck with Sherwin Williams Deckscapes advanced waterborne formula exterior deck stain. Can I use your Armstrong Clark semi solid stain over it?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyHi, I am planning on applying a semi solid stain tomorrow with a pad and brush. The instructions say to wipe any puddling after 24 hours. I know many people suggest to wipe as you go without other stains manufacturers. Is this not recommended?

We will reply to your comment shortlyI am planning to stain a 2 year old pressure treated deck. What stain colour do you recommend to closely match the brown pressure treated colour, thanks

We will reply to your comment shortlyI am planning to stain my deck using semi-transparent stain. It appears that 2 coats (wet on wet) is typically recommended. What does wet on wet really mean? as the deck is pretty large so by the time I am done the part that is started with will probably already be close to dry. Does this matter? How long is the drying time?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlySee this for tips: https://www.armstrongclarkstain.com/armstrong-clark-staining-instructions
When applying a second coat, it should be applied within 30-45 minutes of the first coat.

We will reply to your comment shortlyWe have a 20 (!!) year old deck that somehow survived a bad Deckover job. I rescued it from the failed coating before it could actually rot, stripped, planed, and sanded. It is in surprisingly decent shape. Second floor deck that gets a good bit of sun, with most of it having limited cover.
What would you recommend in terms of stain? And what works best with fillers (like Dap plastic wood?) We're replacing some of the boards but trying to minimize and restore as much as possible. Also dead set on oil so Armstrong is at the very top of our options. We like the look of the grain and re-coating/maintenance is not an issue for us. Also debating between a lighter color for temperature and a darker color for drama. Any ideas are welcome!!! (Picture does not show complete restoration - we got rid of every spec of deckover in the end.)-
We will reply to your comment shortlyFYI, wood filler will not work on exterior wood. It will not "stain" to blend with the deck stain and will look terrible. It also will not survive a cold Winter. In short, never us a wood filler.
As for the stain, the AC will work well. Use a semi-transparent color.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI have a 12-year-old ipe deck that I just finished stripping and neutralizing. I used Penofin stain last time, and though I believe I may have applied it too liberally, it also darkened the ipe considerably. This time around I want to avoid darkening the wood; just want to knock out the graying, close the grain and provide some UV protection. Is the transparent Natural Tone the best bet, applied with roller then almost immediately toweled off?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYou need a hardwood color for IPE: https://www.armstrongclarkstain.com/wood-and-decking-stains/hardwood-and-ipe-stain
Amber is the lightest.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI stripped and belt sanded a nice old mahogany porch and purchased the AC transparent natural tone wanting the wood to show its true beauty. These are pictures when I applied to a couple of the steps on my porch. I must say for natural tone, this appears rather dark. To me that was ALOT of work to see these results hoping that natural tone would allow the wood to speak. Any suggestions?

We will reply to your comment shortlyI'm installing a new redwood deck and fence within the next few weeks. I live in Southern California and the deck will see sun only in the AM, fence will see sun all day. Should I leave the wood untreated for a few months and then prep with RAD and then stain. I like the look of the semi-trans cedar. Just want to make sure I'm not doing anything wrong.

We will reply to your comment shortlyMy cedar deck was built in Jan February March, people say to wait a year to stain it but it is already discolouring. I was planning on washing it with dish soap and bleach and staining before the winter. What are your thoughts?

You can stain now but your prep is incorrect. See this link for what to do.

We will reply to your comment shortlyWill the semi-solid color stain do the best job of minimizing the grain in PT decking versus the semit transparent type stains?
and--
will a semi solid stain last longer / provide more protection than semi transparent type stains?-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThe semi-solids will give slightly better UV protection and will hide the grain a little better as well over a semi-transparent color.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlythanks--do you have any photos (or know where I can go to view same) of PT decking stain effects?
Basically I have premium grade of PT decking which is knot free and I'm trying to figure out how to make it NOT look like typical PT wood. I am thinking that there are some stains/techniques to down play the heavy PT wood grain look (I'm hoping anyway)
thanks !!-
We will reply to your comment shortlyWe do not have any photos but we do offer samples to test: https://www.armstrongclarkstain.com/samples
Is this new wood? You cannot stain this right away if so.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI stripped, cleaned and brightened deck (Behr all in one product). What is your opinion on my next process? Do you think the deck is ready for stain? What stain would you recommend? Thank you.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyIt should be okay to stain the flooring. Use the AC in a sem-transparent or semi-solid color.

We will reply to your comment shortlyThank you. What color would you recommend that would match the vertical wood?

We will reply to your comment shortlyI have a few questions:
1) I have a deck that is approximately 5-6 years old. The floor is pressure treated pine. The pickets and railings appear to be redwood. I've pressure washed and stripped using RAD. How many coats will I need?
2) I've pressure washed and stripped using RAD. I haven't had a chance to use the brightener (it's a DIY home project) yet. The wood definitely looks better than the weathered grey look it had before. After the pressure the pine had a yellow tint (most of the stain was already gone before the pressure wash step). Then, after I applied the stripper (then washed it off with the pressure washer), the pine wood changed to a silvery color (the redwood didn't seem to do this). Not quite the same grey that existed before pressure washing, but no longer the yellow tint. Is it normal for the stripper to change the color of the wood before applying the brightener?
We tested the two Armstrong Clark stains we were trying to pick from and found the Rustic Brown looked excellent after a day or so. We're excited to finish the project, but wanted to know if we're doing anything wrong before applying the stain. -
We will reply to your comment shortlyAlso pressure washed.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyI stripped sanded and cleaned/brightened deck (Behr all in one). Does this look good to go for staining? I just ordered your Rustic Brown semi. It would be stained w/n two weeks of the prep. Thanks in advance!
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyI 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?

We will reply to your comment shortlyCould you post a picture of the current state of the wood, please?
