Choosing the Right Product:
1. For new cedar, redwood, and hardwoods Superdeck Exterior Transparent Stain gives a beautiful and translucent finish that will highlight the wood grain pattern.
Superdeck Exterior Transparent Stain for Pressure Treated Wood is specially formulated to convert the color of pressure treated wood into a natural wood tone
Superdeck Semi-Transparent Stain gives extra color and coverage, and is an excellent choice for older woods that have been damaged or faded. A semi-transparent stain provides more hide than a transparent stain, but does not completely hide the wood grain like a solid.
2. Protect Your Investment with Superdeck's One-Coat System!
Superdeck stains saves you time and money with a specially formulated one-coat system.
Apply Superdeck only at a rate which the wood can absorb for best penetration.
The darker the stain color the longer the color will last.
The final color will vary depending on the wood age, type and texture.
Always test a small area first for color satisfaction.
3. Application Methods:
Brushing is the preferred method of application. Brushing works well on all surfaces and provides smooth and even coverage. Natural bristle brushes are recommended, although poly or pad applicators can be used.
Roller applicators work well on rough sawn surfaces. Use a short to medium nap roller.
Garden sprayers are a quick and efficient means of application. Back brush after spraying to eliminate pools and puddles.
Airless sprayers are the preferred method for large jobs. Use the lowest setting and a large orifice tip to obtain a reasonable spray pattern and to avoid a fine mist. Back brush after spraying to eliminate pools and puddles.
4. Tips for Success:
To ensure color consistency Superdeck should be shaken or stirred before and during use. Intermix all gallons to be used for large jobs.
If wood is too hot to touch, it is too hot to stain.
The ideal hours to apply stain are morning hours or late afternoons.
If moisture is visible, or it has rained recently, the wood is too wet to stain.
Allow new wood to season for 3-4 weeks before staining.
New wood can have some discoloration caused by extractive bleeding, or mill glaze that should be removed with Superdeck Wood Brightener.
Clean old wood with Superdeck Wood Cleaner to remove dirt, grease, mold and other foreign substances.
To remove old paints, stains, or varnishes, strip wood with Superdeck Wood Stripper.
