Wood Stain Transparency Guide

Clear Wood Finishes

Clear wood finishes & wood stains allow your wood to weather and gray naturally. Least protection, most woodgrain.

Transparent / Toner

Transparent wood stains add a slight hint of color that highlights the wood grain. Less protection, more woodgrain.

Semi-Transparent Stain

Semi-transparent wood stains provide rich color that allows wood grain and texture to show. More protection, less woodgrain.

Semi-Solid Stain

Semi-solid stains give the same rich color as semi-transparent, but hides more wood grain. More protection, least woodgrain.

Solid Color Stain

Solid Color Stain covers the woodgrain and accentuates the natural texture. Most protection, no woodgrain.

Deck Resurfacer

A deck resurfacer creates a new, safe, durable surface on worn or weathered wood or concrete.

Area Preparation

Spray all plants and vegetation liberally with water before and after application. Cover delicate vegetation to avoid damage.

^{WARNING! If you scrape, sand, or remove old paint, you may release lead dust or fumes. LEAD IS TOXIC. EXPOSURE TO LEAD DUST OR FUMES CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ILLNESS, SUCH AS BRAIN DAMAGE, ESPECIALLY IN CHILDREN. PREGNANT WOMEN SHOULD ALSO AVOID EXPOSURE. Wear a properly fitted NIOSH-approved respirator and prevent skin contact to control lead exposure. Clean up carefully with a HEPA vacuum and a wet mop. Before you start, find out how to protect yourself and your family by contacting USEPA National Lead Information Hotline at 1-800-424-LEAD or log on to}^{www.epa.gov/lead}^{. Follow these instructions to control exposure to other hazardous substances that may be released during surface preparation.}

Application Details

Test a small, inconspicuous area prior to use to ensure acceptable appearance. Apply liberally with a nylon brush or roller. Do not allow the stripper to come into contact with bare metal or surfaces that are to remain coated. Do not allow the stripper to dry. If drying occurs, mist with water and reapply stripper. Wait five to 45 minutes for the stripper to soften or dissolve the coating. Coating will easily rinse off when ready. Scrub areas where needed with a stiff bristle brush. Work in the direction of the wood grain to minimize grain raising. Rinse wood thoroughly with water from a garden hose or a power washer at a setting of 500 to 1,200 psi to eliminate scrubbing. Do not allow the stripper to dry. If drying occurs, mist with water and reapply stripper.

Coverage

One gallon covers approximately 50 to 150 sq. feet or 4.6 to 13.9 sq. meters depending upon wood texture.

Cleanup

Clean brushes and equipment immediately with soap and water.
