A semi-transparent deck stain provides some coverage while still allowing the natural wood grain of your deck to show. This is a good option for decks that have already been stained or weathered because it will help revive the color while still allowing the wood to breathe.

Semi-transparent and semi-solid stains have much less pigment than paints or solid stains.

Manufacturers typically suggest a 3 year shelf life for wood stains and finishes. However, that time frame is simply an estimate; when stored in a temperature-regulated environment and air in the can is minimized, wood stains and finishes can last much longer.

Minwax® Wipe-On Poly Oil-Based Polyurethane Finish It delivers a hard, clear finish that protects wood against water, household chemicals, food stains, and wear. Wipe-On Poly is easy to apply.

Every wood stain consists of four basic ingredients: volatiles, pigments, resins, and additives. The volatile is the vehicle that carries the solids onto the substrate surface. The volatile will evaporate once the stain has been applied to the wood, allowing the stain to form a film.

Choosing water-based stains is more eco-friendly and less hazardous to your health than oil-based options, as they contain fewer volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Give it a few more days to see if it improves. Another possibility is that the stain was old or came from a bad batch. In either case, if the tackiness doesn't go away, wipe the wood down with mineral spirits or naphtha to remove most of the stain, let it dry thoroughly, then try again using a fresh can of stain.

It applies easily and penetrates deep into the pores of the wood. While conventional stains recommend 18 to 24 hours drying time, Minwax Performance Series Tintable Wood Stain can be recoated in just 2 hours for solvent-based finishes and 6 hours for water-based finishes.
