This is why CRAPPY Behr stains keep me in business!

[seymore 90]

This deck was a deck that i refinished years ago and maintained every 2 yrs.Then i guess walking through the Depot seeing Behr stains giving un godly warranties they thought to give it a try. Well they were thinking how to get longer than 2 yrs on a semi stain by tying this Behr acrylic crap. The pics you see is how the deck looked like when I did it 3-4 yrs ago and the next pic is the BEhr after 1 yr. This pine decking is very ugly and didn't really brighten up like i want to but I think it will dry up good and i'll have to sand some of that crap i couldn't strip off. I think I got off 90%

The stripper is boosted by the info I found here on TGS so thanks TGS for having all the great wood info!

I'll be staining on Fri ..

Let us know how that a.f. works with the hydrox. I might give it a try on my project.

Yeah me too since it's going to be maby 70 Fri but sunny n cool in the mornings.

This was a challenging strip for sure going with only Cedar Dark no Gold and I might use some AC i have on hand for the swings if they match up good with the Cedar Dark I have the Amber and Cedar i'm thinking Amber.

I would use it again for sure the marine anti freeze is only $5/gal. its better than the $15 for the reg antifreeze.

Those are terrific pictures as documentation to the bs claims that the box store stain make. Can't wait to see how it turns out Shane.

Thanks Jason! :cool:

It's not going to be as dark as the 1st pic as that was stained a couple times when i took that pic.

The strip wasn't perfect and i'll have to sand some areas.

That stuff was like nasty string cheese for the most part stuck allover my pressure washer when i dried.

You need more high pressure hose than 50 ft. Shane. I got some if you want.

You pw is brand new brother. you don't want that cake icing all over it. It's crap like you said.
