What are you going to stain it with? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 PressurePros 248 Report post Posted August 24, 2006 Its not realy that new if it has ben exposed for six months. Clean with a sodium percarbonate based cleaner like EFC-38, follow by acidic wash product like Citrallic for pH balance, and then seal with semi transparent, oil/alkyd based tinted sealer.
