My fence was stained with oil base, I don't like it. Is it possible to go over it with a solid water-based stain. Perhaps after it dries for a season? I need help with this one. Thank you.
If an old fence has had a water based stain that is now cracking and dusting off at the touch, can I clean it, brighten it, and use an oil base stain? Are there any concerns there?
@@JoeEverest Part of my redwood fence is getting hit by the lawn sprinkler. Do you recommend using a clear wood sealant after applying the Behr Semi-Transparent stain to protect against water damage?
I have new cedar fence in Houston. I'm going to stain just my side of the fence. South Texas is a humid environment. If we have some low humidity in the Spring for a week, could I use an oil-based stain or is our climate just not suitable for oil stain? I wouldn't know what the moisture % would be in the wood after...say a week of mild low-humid days.
Absolutely, there are quite a few Texas-based contractors I’ve talked to that use the product! Best advise would be to pick up a moisture meter from Amazon, I believe they’re around $30.
I just finished installing a 200 foot fence. Should I paint it, stain it or both? I’m really not sure how this works. Any Recommendation will help. Thank you.
Using a nice stain will still let you see the grain and character of the board, while still protecting the wood itself. Most paints will simply just cover up the wood.
i just finished your video about why to NOT use water base and that oil is the way to go…WTF? Also you went into great lengths talking about a Nashville company / product but i cant find where you provide the NAME of the product or the company,,,,,,😵💫
Water Based Paints / Stains will never protect wood the same way oil will. There are ships that are 200 years old still with the same timbers in them. This is because they were treated with oils. Pain sits on the surface, as soon as that membrane is broken, the wood is toast.
I think the reason is because the noise gate (or dynamic expansion) threshold was set too high for Caleb's softer voice. That's the problem with automated mixers if you don't check your levels, they assume that audio below a certain level is background noise so it turns down the mic level. Trun up his gain and/or lower the gate threshold.
That Caleb is a great guy with, as I see it, a great business mindset. Nice information Caleb. Thanks gentlemen.

I am learning a ton about fence stain. I can tell you that I wasn’t sad to see water based paints take over.
water based paints haven't taken over fence staining
I bought a new house 1 year ago and never stained the fence. Can I just stain it as is or do I need to do something to the wood first?
Thanks guy! Very informative!
Thanks for the detailed explanation
Always happy to help, thanks for watching!

Which is best; water or oil base stains in St Petersburg Florida area?
@@JoeEverest Mucho thanks mon.. :)
Can water based stain be applied on a fence previously Stained with oil based?
Thanks for the response. What would removal consist of? Using a stripper and then pressure washing?
Would a simple pressure wash do the trick or do chemical strippers need to be used?
Thanks
Welcome, appreciate you watching!
his other video says use oil based which is best, now he says use water based? so which is better?
We use the best tool for the given job, both have a place. Think flat head and Phillips screw drivers.
Yea that doesn’t answer the question at all so waterbase if u want to do it every year and use oil if don’t want to mess with it every year

Link is in the description of both videos
what's best for the wood? What's going to make the wood last the longest, forget all the rest of the stuff.
7. There are many more advances made in water based paints/stains in the last 20 years than oil based.

Q8 log oil or twp stain is far superior to any water based stain.
We do typically prefer an oil-based stain, but just like any tool each has its own use.
zomg his audio sucks lol -- still good content

i don't think theres any good reasons to use water based anything
In a previous video you stated your company decided to go with oil based stains?
Yes, oil-based stains work better for our business.
