Defy Epoxy Stain - Fortified for Exterior Wood

For exterior wood restoration to be a success it's vital to choose a good quality deck stain. For the DIY homeowner, getting a professional like result is the ultimate goal. All types of wooden surfaces can and should be sealed for protection against the weather. From wood decks and fences to wood siding and shake shingles - protection is important to prevent wood rot, decay, and structural damage.

Many variables play a part in choosing a quality deck stain. Most concerns with deck stains are the general appearance, stain longevity, how easy it is to apply, and of course the price. These are all legitimate concerns when looking for the best wood stain for your specific needs.

One thing you will want to avoid as much as possible is using an inferior deck stain. Many of the wood and deck stains sold today at the home improvement stores are lower end stains that won't give you the lasting results you might be looking for.

As a general rule, try to steer clear of heavy pigment and solid color stains. Also avoid acrylic based stains or those that are enhanced with silicone. These types of deck stains stay on top of the surface and form a film similar to paint. Changes in temperature and climate cause the wood to contract and expand at a different rate than the film forming stains thus leading to cracking, flaking, and peeling.

What is worse is once a deck stain like mentioned above does fail, it is nearly impossible to remove from the wood. Removing this type of stain completely so a new stain can be applied is labor intensive and costly. It is recommended by many wood restoration professionals to stay away from these types of deck stains in the first place.

A better option is to use a semi-transparent stain like Defy Epoxy Stain. This is a non-film forming stain that penetrates the wood surface for a beautiful long lasting finish.
