Olympic WaterGuard 1 gal. Acorn Brown Transparent Exterior Wood Stain and Sealer

My deck dried out over 7 years. I pressure washed with just water first. Then bleached the deck 2 times with outdoor bleach from home depot. Then rolled on 2 gallons of product in one application. Waited a week, then sprayed on 2/3 of a gallon to even it all out. 7 year old deck absorbed a lot of product. But now is nice, water beads up when it rains. This will last a long time. I only suggest letting deck dry 2-3 years before staining. Always wash with water first, then after dry, bleach till it's all one even color. Apply first time with roller, then spray a final coat. How much you use will vary on how many years deck dried, but this will ensure a long lasting and professional finish.I have 30 years experience in refinishing. It's what I do for a living.

Overall pretty please with this product. The color is very close to what we wanted but not having any experience with stain/sealer more instructions would have been helpful. I ended up figuring it out but rollers and paint brushes will streak if you're not real careful.

brushed on 3 coats, drying between each coat.this is a liquid stain (not paste/cream/gel), using brush works well & quickly.

My deck looks new again! It’s so beautiful! The rain just beads right off. It protects my deck really well The performance of this product is really impressive!

It works as advertised but I had to do quite a few coats. I'd recommend getting a little more than you think you'll need.

Y old deck boards look new
