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.

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.

I don't write product reviews. However, this stain is too good not to write one. We replaced our 34 year old deck floorboards last summer. During the past year, we researched deck stains and discovered that oil-based stains are becoming harder to find, which led us to Armstrong Clark. First of all, the option of buying samples is genius, as I would have chosen the wrong color without samples to test. After prepping the deck with the cleaner and brightener, the first difference I noticed from 34 years ago was that you no longer have to spend fifteen minutes trying to stir the thick sludge from the bottom of the can into a usable product. The Armstrong Clark stain was so easy to stir! The semi-transparent stain then went on evenly, was absorbed quickly, and dried to a rich, beautiful color. I love this stain! It has just recently been applied, so I can't write about its longevity yet, but this is a high quality product, and I am confident it will perform as described. We are thrilled with the way our deck looks, and will not hesitate to recommend it to others. A dreaded chore became a joy!

    Had a BM Arborcoat oil on the deck (sanded it off with 60 grit)...will be starting the cleaner/brightener process and then staining with Natural Oak ST color over a week.

    Couple questions before I do the next stage...

    1. Should I use a power washer (vs. the jet spray on hose) in the cleaner/brightener process? I ask as the deck has been sanded and the cleaner won't be scrubbed in and I may not need the force of the PW. I do want to make sure I am doing it correct though.

    2. The brightener will go on day after cleaner...staining a couple days after brightener to dry wood. This OK?

    3. Before staining should a do a light sanding? I do not want to seal pores so wood accepts stain but if any fuzzy wood is there from the cleaner/brighter process should get rid of it before staining. Was thinking a light 60/80 grit via a pole sander.

    I applied the 1st coat of semi-transparent natural oak stain to my deck last week. Without thinking about it I applied a 2nd coat to the floor boards yesterday. I've noticed that a lot of the 2nd coat has been absorbed, but there are a few areas of puddling. Should I wait 24 hours and then remove any puddling that may remain? I'm hoping that more will absorb during the day today...

    Yes, that will be fine.

    Is it advisable to seal the deck after staining? And is water supposed to bead after applying the stain? I tried two samples, but no beading was apparent - at least not dramatic beading. Thanks for the assistance, I am interested in semi-transparent natural oak for pine deck boards.

    You cannot add a sealer on top of the AC stains. Water will shed off the deck but is breathable, allowing the wood to not succumb to rotting. It does not bead like a car wax.

    DO YOU HAVE A LOCAL DEALER IN THE PHILA PA AREA?

    WHEN APPLYING THE AMBER COLOR WILL THE COLOR BE CONSISTENT ON A DECK WHEN ROLLED ON?
    HOW MUCH OIL IS IN THIS STAIN?
    MY DECK IS IN THE SUN MORE THAN 1/2 DAY- HOW LONG WILL YOUR STAIN LAST ON A PRESSURE TREATED PINE SURFACE?

    We do not have a dealer there but we can ship to you. Best to apply with an exterior stain pad or brush for uniform application. 2-3 years is normal.

    I was wondering what the shelf life of the 5 gallon semi-transparent stain is and how soon to use it once a container is opened?

    12 months or less if opened. Unopened it could last many years.

    Does the semi-solid peel at all?
    can it be applied by an airless sprayer?

    It can be sprayed but always back brush for an even application right away. The Semi-solids are a penetrating stain and should not peel if applied correctly and the wood is prepped correctly.

    I bought 5 gallons of woodland brown last year an was a little disappointed in the redness of the colour. I got one small deck finished and had a bear overturn the can and lost the remainder. Need to reorder but wonder if any of the other colours would end up looking more like the sample of woodland on the website. And can I recoat the woodland with a different colour. Really like the product. We had a wicked winter and it looks as good as new! Thanks, Mike oster

    To change colors, it wold be best to strip and brighten the wood. The Woodland Brown is a reddish color with a hint of brown. In the semi-solids there is not a medium brown color. Oxford is a dark brown and Sequoia is a rich red/brown. We do have samples on the site for you to test colors. The link is in the main menu.

    We are going to use a RAD kit this afternoon and hope to follow with AC stain this weekend. I just swept the deck to begin with the prep process. When finished, I turned to see some leaves already fallen on my clean deck. We have a Butternut dropping leaves prematurely.

    What will happen when they fall on my wet, newly applied AC stain? Am I better off waiting for spring? Thanks!

    Leaves do not stick to stain while drying. You should be fine.

    Hello. I would like to use Armstrong Clark deck stain on my deck. I am considering purchasing a Graco TrueCoat Pro II Airless paint sprayer for the job. My concern is that the sprayer manufacturer states that it is unsafe to use the sprayer with products that are marked FLAMMABLE. Would Armstrong Clark deck stain be compatible with this sprayer? Thanks!

    Armstrong is not flammable so you should have no issues.
