    Hello Jason and other Armstrong Stain users,

    If you have a deck staining job when the temp is lower than 50 degrees there are several things you can do.

    1) Keep the stain at room temp (60 degrees or warmer)

    2) The wood needs to be free of dew and water content no more than 20%

    3) Apply the stain in the direct sunlight and the heat of the day. The 50 degrees is measured in the shade so the wood will be well above 60 degrees.

    Following these helpful hints of the trade will give you an earlier start and later finish to your season.

    Many thanks for using our stains,

    Jake

    John T,  Many thanks for the kind words.  Where else did you find us mentioned?

     

    Shane,  This Spring we sent you at least 5 gallons of our Amber for hardwoods at no charge for you to test.  Any thoughts and feedback?  You are a Bakers distributor so this test is truly fair and balanced.  There is no similarity between this site and www.armclark.com.  Just look.

     

    Diamond Jim,  You too were compted Amber to try.  I am still waiting for your feedback.

     

    This website ranks Bahr Stains at the bottom.  Since half of the wood restoration industry walks away from Behr Stain stripping, should we not applaud their backbone and hiss at Consumer Reports?

    Armstrong clark stain was the talk of my little town last weekend.

     

    I did a freebee job for a restaurant that hired my company for the Exterior wash, and deck restoration on a hundred year old building. The freebee was the water wheel out front. It was original with the building. I was told that it was redwood.

     

    We used oxford brown (customer insisted). It was perfect. Popped in front of the entire building. Lots of people stopped to take pictures of it running.

     

    Felt pretty cool.

     

    Nice,

     

    Any chance for a photo.  We don't have a water wheel in our photo gallery.  I hope you got a free meal for your good work!

     

    Many thanks,

    Beth,

    Thanks for reminding me. At 60, one has long forgotten how old you are. Just ask me ...

    Best to you today and all the tomorrows. Make Rod cook and clean for a week! Barb and Tom send their best, I'm sneaking off with her to the Rhineland after the season. Wanna' come? Two certified wood minx in Europe after a long wood season is a dream come true.

    Give the word, and I'll book the flight! Don't tell Rob, he's a ton bigger than me.

    Enough of this nonsense, my best to both of you. You're an original, real wood minx, and us woodies just love you to death. That is, if you leave the whips and chains at home ...

    I missed the whole shibange, egads, Beth congratulations on another year

    of excellence.

    Jake
