Carmen:

I live in Canada and I just had a fence built in sienna brown in the sun it looks like a cedar with brown tones. We built one side on to an existing fence and I need to try and match that color, would you know of a semi transparent that would match up or close to a micro sienna brown wood. I am desperate.

Sorry but not sure so it would be best to get a few samples form this page to test first.

Erico:

I have read that the semi transparent stain lasts longer than transparent stain? Is it the same with AC Stains?

eric

Yes, the more pigment you have, the longer the UV protection.

How long can you store deck stain I will have some left and would like to keep it.

Less than a year if opened. Sometimes longer if you close the lid so there is not any evaporation. Has to be temperature controlled storage as well.

peggy gusler:

because of the poor condition of the logs on all but the north side of my cabin I probably need a penetrating stain for conditioning. is your semi-solid stain penetrating or does it basically coat the log?

The semi-solid is a penetrating stain as long as you prep the wood properly and remove all previous coatings, if any.

I'm trying to match the pigmentation of a nail-hole-filling saw flour paste with the colour of an original application of your stain. The 'filler' likely won't take stain, and I'm wondering whether the color of your stain will darken with each subsequent application. (if so, my 'patches' would become progressively more apparent with each application).I'm thinking in particular of semi transparent or semi solid cedar.

Thanks in advance

Depends on how you prep. If you clean and brighten correctly, then it will not darken much through the years.

Have new red cedar deck. What stain do you recommend to maintain wood grain. Deck faces south with 3-4 hours of sun but also will get sap from Maple and pine trees. Also when since this is a new deck when should we stain and will we need to use a cleaner and brightner on it. Thank you

See this about new wood: http://www.armstrongclarkstain.com/new-decking-and-armstrong-clark-stain

Use a semi-transparent color after the wait and prep.
