Erik Rose:

Hi. Does natural transparent make the wood look wet or is it truly clear?

Thank you

It is lightly tinted, not clear.

I would like to order semi solid stain with a medium brown shade and will buy samples Can you suggest two color combinations that I could mix? The Oxford brown seems too dark and I'm not sure about red tones in the sequoia and woodland. Would I start with a lighter semi solid and mix Oxford brown. Thank you for your expert advice

Deidre, maybe a combination of Mountain Cedar and Oxford Brown. Not sure on the ratio but start with the Mountain cedar and add some Oxford Brown to it to darken it to the color you want.

What kind of wood are the samples painted on.
Im staining 1200 sq ft of old cedar ,freshly sanded with new replaced boards in spots.
I know the stain will vary all over just wondering what your samples are painted on and what may be a good colour of stain?

Can I mix the redwood tone with the sierra redwood ? :-)
thank you

Yes you can mix the AC colors together. Any of our colors work well on Cedar wood. I believe the samples are on cedar. Color will still vary though.

Is there a photo of mountain cedar to get an idea of the shade? Is it like taupe?

Forgot to state that deck is PTP

I meant to ask, if I want a medium brown semi solid color, would I mix a lighter shade semi transparent with semi solid Oxford brown and can you suggest two color options to mix? Thank you for your support

After reading reviews I'm sold on your stains, now my problem is picking a color. I want a rich brown that won't dry with a red tint because my brick is tan. I have been debating between the oxford brown and woodland...any help with this decision?

Woodland is reddish. Oxford is brown. Look at the Rustic Brown as well.

Larry:

Is there a rough texture in this product for a deck

No it is 100% penetrating so the texture should be the same as your wood is.

Hi

We live in a small town south of Calgary, Alberta, Cananda.I would like to get the les that I checked off above. I would also like to know if you can buy the product anywhere in Canada. If not how much will it cost for the shipping on 2, 5 gallon pails once I have picked my color.
Thankyou
Nancy

To get the shipping charges for Canada, please add the products to cart. During checkout you will enter your shipping info and then it will show the charges and costs prior to payment. There are not dealers in Canada so you will have to order online.

Debbie Kincaid:

I am trying to figure out diff between semi-transparent vs semi-solid. have lots of problems with peeling of stain on my deck that is exposed to a lot of sun. Does the semi-solid penetrate into the wood or does it sit on top and risk peeling? Also would a semi-solid require more maintenance? I am so tired of stripping and sanding my deck every other year and would like to just be able to reapply after cleaning with Restore.

As long as you remove all previous coatings, you can use the AC. All of the AC colors (including semi-solid) are penetrating stains as long as wood is prepped and the stain is not over applied. They can be cleaned and reapplied without the need for removal.

I used Behr 5 yrs ago-blah. it peeled, it got alot darker from amber, etc. What colors and semis do you recommend. I will order up to 3 samples. thanks, Bob

Remove the Behr first. Any color will work as long as the wood is prepped well and all old coatings are removed.

Ginette:

I have a pressure treated fir deck, I'm trying to choose a stain sample. Which color samples do you suggest I try. I want to keep it a fairly light color without it turning orange. More of a very light brown or wet wood look.

Try Natural. Take inconsideration that the lighter the color, the quicker it fade and needs to be reapplied.
