Applying A Deck Stain in Full Sun

How to Apply Deck Stain in Sun

Update for 2019: How to Apply A Deck Stain in Full Sun

We appreciate your input here at Deckstainhelp.com as we continue to be your go-to source for the latest in deck restoration news and deck stain topics through 2019. See below for an article about How to Apply Deck Stain in the full sun of the day and the issues that could potentially arise.

Feel free to leave a comment or ask questions below.


These tips are for Transparent, Semi-Transparent,  Semi-Solid, and Solid (Opaque) deck coatings.

If you have a wood deck, at some point, you will have to stain and seal it. Staining your deck allows it to withstand the elements such as severe weather, foot traffic, and scuffing from heavy furniture.

Before you begin, make sure you plan ahead. Ensure there’s no rain in the forecast or excessive pollen levels that create an ideal environment for mold to grow. Please note that instructions for staining and sealing a deck will vary from product to product, so read the manufacturer instructions for best results. Prep is key to the longevity of a deck stain so make sure to prep accordingly by cleaning and or stripping the deck surface. Always neutralize with a wood deck brightener if using a stain stripper or deck cleaner. This will ensure the wood is left in the proper pH balance prior to applying your deck stain coating.

Can You Apply a Clear Sealer or Polyurethane over a Deck Stain?

by Deck Stain Help 03/06/2019

Update 2019 for Clear Sealer or Poly over a Deck Stain?

We here at DeckStainHelp.com thank you for your continued support as we continue to be the internet’s number one reference for all things wood deck restoration related. If you have ever considered using a polyurethane coat to give your outdoor wood deck a smooth appearance, read this article and really think about the potential repercussions. As always, we appreciate your input, so feel free to leave a comment below.


Peeling Deck Varnish

Peeling Deck Varnish

Deck stains are meant as a protective finish for exterior wood. They contain special UV shielding pigments and mildewcides to ward off mold and mildew and to keep the wood from fading. Other sealers or clear finishes will not adhere well to a deck stain and may result in the topcoat failing prematurely. Most likely the clear sealer or polyurethane will end up peeling and flaking off the deck stain.

Unlike paint, stains and sealers are not necessarily designed to adhere to each other. Most are designed to penetrate into the wood or at least adhere to bare wood in the case of film forming stains. Applying a clear sealer over a deck stain is never a good idea. It really won’t help the deck stain or give any added protection more than the deck stain already is. Clear sealers have no pigment and therefore provide zero UV protection. The same goes for polyurethane.

Rust-Oleum Rock Solid in A day Review

by Deck Stain Help 02/05/2019

Update 2019 for Rust-Oleum Deck Resurface Products

Here at DeckStainHelp.com, we have worked hard over the years to become your trusted reference for deck stain opinions and consumer reviews. We thank you for your continued support.

Well, Rust-Oleum is back at it with a newer, relabeled version of their  Rust-Oleum Deck Restore. The Deck Restore version has failed miserably in the last 5-6 years and a Class Action lawsuit was settled in 2018. They still continue to sell the Deck Restore version to unknowing consumers but they have come out with the newer RockSolid Deck Coating as well. This new version is marketed slightly differently. It is a Deck Resurface product that uses a primer first and can also be done in one day. From what we have seen and heard, the Rust-Oleum Rock Solid is not much better than the Deck Restore and continues to peel and fail. If you have used Rust-Oleum Rock Solid, we would like to hear what you think, so feel free to leave a comment below and pictures of your completed projects if you have them.

Rust-Oleum Rock Solid Deck Coat Scores (1-10)

Appearance After Initial Stain Application: 3

– The finished appearance of this product is poor. It looks “clumpy” and dirt has a tendency to stick to the surface as the product cures. The color did not match the color on the chart.

Preventing UV Graying at 1 Year Mark: 10

– Does not gray in the areas where it has not peeled.

Wear/Tear and Peeling: 2

– Of all the “Deck Resurface” products the Rust-Oleum version peels the worst. It started peeling within the first year of application in our cold weather state test deck.
