I watched this to get an answer on if you shouid paint or stain over a deck that was previously stained... maybe i missed it but did he say?Whats the answer?
I just had a fence installed and I could not find a contractors who was willing to allow the wood to sit around and then let me stain it. So they built the Redwood fence in a day and a morning and then I allowed the wood to dry for three days and now I am busy filling the screw holes with some minor sanding. The weather has been in the low 80s. Later I am going to have a balcony built with another company and I can bet they won't care about the staining either so I will have to stain after the balcony gets built. Or is it just the deck part of the balcony that needs to get sealed. If so I am going to insist the job gets done property.
@@HDFPainting Thanks, I don't know how this stuff works but I am going to insists that all the wood that goes on the deck part of the balcony get coated first.
Decks can be problematic for a couple of reasons: 1. Simply put water on a horizontal surface and it will stays longer 2. If the deck was installed without sealing on six sides before construction moisture will find its way in and cause the peeling. Nevertheless, you can use C2 stain on the deck and go over already painted or stained surfaces.
I just installed new siding on my house. I used 4x8 sheets have Hardie board (concrete fiber ) and 1x10 mirtec ( synthetic wood that looks like cedar). I'm leaning towards a solid color stain. What's your recommendation? Thanks

Just bought a home and have a pregola that is just plain wood. I want a grey color, should I stain or seal then stain or paint?
If it was my pergola I would apply two coats of C2 Guard color Atlantic salt, apply wet on wet.

I would still try to seal all wood deck products with one coat of C2 Guard clear coat before installation

My mom painted our deck which is now peeling. Can C2 be applied on a painted deck? Should I just paint over the deck? I can sand a little .

Even if you prime the deck and paint its gonna peel over time so save yourself time and headache by staining it.
Never ever paint or use a solid stain on decking.
