I'm having a 24x24 cabin built this summer. It is made with pine boards. I want to stain and seal it to protect the wood. What should I use to do both. This cabin will be built in western Pa. on a shady lot. Thanks

Scott, sorry but there are not dealers there but we can ship to you.

We live in the McKinney Texas area (Dallas) and have read many reviews on your stain and want to see if you have any dealers in our area. We have a 15 year old Deck of PTW that we have stripped, sanded and clenaed and ready for stain and paint.

do you have any dealers in the Phoenix area?

Best would be the AC in the Mahogany color. Let season for a few months, clean first, then stain. Best to stain with a stain pad applicator.

I have a brand new pie deck what color and satin product would provide good uv protection and keep the natural color of the hardwood the best? Also can I sayin immediately after installation and how should I prep the surface and should I use a brush to apply? Any dealers near Long Beach ca?
Thanks
Jaime

Armstrong Clark does not suggest prestaininig. Best to let the wood dry out so the AC will be able to work well. With cedar wood we suggest 2-3 months for this. Stain the exposed wood after the siding is installed. You will need to prep the wood first.[/quote]

So you do not suggest staining the back of cedar siding?

No Need.

I am building a home with western red tongue and groove cedar siding. I have been getting conflicting information about when to apply stain. Some reputable sources tell me to pre-finish everything, and all sides. Some stain manufacturers tell me to not stain until the wood has weathered for almost a year, clean and brighten, then stain.

Do you recommend using your stain on new cedar? It will be kiln dried. What about back staining?

I have a new redwood deck that I acid cleaned and sanded. I would like a clear finish because I love the color of the wood and UV protection as it will be in the sunlight. Which product should I get and can I get it asap in California?

Terry, you must have color in the stain if you want UV protection. Clears will not offer this. We can ship to you from the website.

Have you tried the Rustic Brown?

Hello Jake, You sent us several samples and we love the product but they are too orange for our liking. Is there a brown you suggest that will allow the grain to show through. We have the Douglas Fir T&G. We also do not want a red undertone, just brown. Thank you!

Lynn, no dealers there but we can ship to you in 2-3 business days.

Do you have any dealers near Albany NY? If not how long does shipment take? I have questions about when to apply.

If you decide to paint later you will need to strip off the AC first then follow directions per the paint manufacturer as for application of their product.

I am planning to use Armstrong Clark stain on Atlantic Cypress clapboards, smooth side out. At a future date, if the house is painted, what sort of sanding/priming procedure would you recommend? Thanks!

Kris, I would wait a few months then prep first with a cleaner and wood brightener. No need to wait a year.

I have a new deck of pressure-treated southern pine in NJ. How long do you recommend waiting before applying Armstrong Clark semi-transparent stain? Are there advantages and/or disadvantages in waiting up to 1 year?

Great!
