    Restore-A-Deck Semi-Transparent Review 2022 This is our 4th Year for the review of the Restore-A-Deck Semi-Transparent Wood Stain.

    Best Semi-Solid Wood and Deck Stain Reviews

    by Scott Paul ~ Restoring Decks Since 1993 04/05/2022

    What is the Best Semi-Solid Deck Stain? We have been using deck stains now for 25+ years and reviewing them on DeckStainHelp.com since 2012. In the past 5+ years, we have used more and more of the semi-solid stains and colors. The major reason is that the higher the solid content, the better the UV protection from fading. One caveat, the semi-solid stains need to be fully penetrating and unfortunately, that is not the case for many brands. Semi-Solid wood and deck stains allow the wood grain to show slightly and if they truly soak into the wood grain, reapplying is much easier down the road. One issue is that not all semi-solid stains are penetrating but rather film on…

    Deck Stain and Sealer in 2022

    by Scott Paul ~ Restoring Decks Since 1993 01/14/2022

    Deck Stain vs Deck Sealer What is the difference between a Deck Sealer vs a Deck Stain is a very common question here on DeckStainHelp.com. The simple answer is that all deck stains are sealers as well but a deck sealer is not a deck stain. In this article about Deck Stains and Sealers, we will breakdown the main difference between the two different types and give our 25+ years of experience as to what stain brand and type is best for your exterior wood deck.

    by Scott Paul ~ Restoring Decks Since 1993 01/18/2022

    Staining a Deck in the Spring 2022 Tips With the Spring 2022 thaw comes the resurface of your wood deck. It’s been a tough winter for your deck with temperatures ranging from brutally cold to near-spring warm in a matter of a few days throughout the winter season.

It is exciting when the weather starts to warm up and you have the urge to tackle your deck stain project at the first sign of spring. However, this might be a bad idea.
