How Deck Stain Protects Wood | Ask This Old House

I put transparent penetrating oil, the goal was to make it easier to refinish later. With the opaque stain it becomes exactly like a paint, peels off and then you need to sand the whole thing. With the oil you can just clean the wood and add more
100% agree.
I love seeing the grain on my PT pine deck. This advice is all hog wash! I use readyseal for the win!
Hog wash? That’s what you might as well paint in your pine deck. If that’s the kind of grain you enjoy looking at, all power to you.
i guess they could not afford a damp rag so they had to use kevins spit 🤣😂🤣
lol, yeah
Yeah, that was quite ghetto…
Kevin’s spit is priceless.
From experience, only use clear stain or sealant on a deck, even on pressure treated pine. Colored stains and sealants look awful after a couple of years.
Yeah the clear one just fades away and dries out vs peeling off
I'm putting Trex down. $2 a foot (for the basic 'brown'). You can pay $4 or more for different colors.
I find the motor oil to be by far the best and cheapest protection for the wood.
Even better, 3-in-1 oil and some gauze pads. And ten quarts of anti-freeze, preferably Prestone. No, make that Quaker state.
Fletch!!!
I use old bacon lard applied with a windshield wiper
When I was building my deck, folks told me to use western red cedar because it was half the cost of ipe. But cursory research revealed that ipe was more than twice as strong as cedar, so I could use half the thickness and actually save money. It worked great.
Incidentally, another This Old House video said one could not use a stain or oil finish on ipe because of the high oil content of the wood. So?...
What to use on cedar wood siding?
After the 6 months waiting period on the pressure treated wood, do you have to sand it before staining?
No, that will remove some of its protection. Just a good scrubbing, with deck cleaner.
How long does a car of stain last that HAS NOT BEEN OPENED?
@@Kathern-lv9nv why are you yelling?
Not trying to be critical but this old house used to be a gold standard for information. Cedar is most commonly used after pressure treated for decks/fences and wasn't covered. The information lacked technical depth - you should cover water-based, oil-based, penetrating, the pros/cons. Prep work including sanding. Commonly used techniques/tools for applying on decks and fences. How often to re-apply on vertical vs horizontal surfaces. Pre-filling cracks.
You clearly are trying to be critical. Omission isn’t an error, it’s a choice.
It’s only a five minute video
Can't wait to see your detailed video you laid out there @bigdaddyyc
Who tha' hell can afford mahogany, especially "underfoot"?!? And for the superich who can, uhm, will they DIY it?!? Sorry, this was kinda of silly examples of wood to teach us how stains work...which by the way, they didn't even tell us that, they just showed three types of stain.
That is true i was thinking the point would have been explaining how it works in-depth
Oh boy, I can’t even watch.
Bear stain sucks. Applied per instructions. Lasted one year. Had bear rep come out to my house inspected my deck and instructed me how to remove old stain, sand deck and apply stain. He came back out to inspect my deck after I did what he said to do. Gave me the ok to restain my deck. Well it lasted one year and it was in worse condition then the original problem. Bear stop being cheap on your products.
Behr
I wanna see you try to stain a “BEAR…”
*than
The guy who says “more browner” thinks he can advise how ipe is pronounced? Okay.
Mauro couldn’t find the handle on a brush. He has no business here.
You make a lot of rude comments about the Hispanic guy and the new Black landscape guy... Upgrade your life. Stop being a Lowlife. @@Kevin-mp5of
@@Kevin-mp5of you're both racists
