When to Stain Your Deck with Defy

2019 Update on When to Stain with Defy Stains

Have a question on the best time to stain with Defy Wood Stains? We love hearing from our customers who have used the Defy Stains or have questions on the application. We appreciate your input, so feel free to leave a comment below and pictures of your completed projects if you have them.

The best time to stain your deck is either the spring or the fall. If you stain your deck in the summer, make sure you do it out of the direct sunlight. Applying a deck stain in direct sun will cause the stain to dry too quickly and can result in premature stain failure. In the summer, stain your deck in the morning or evening so the deck surface isn’t too hot. Remember, the surface temperature of the deck can be much hotter than the air temperature. Also, make sure there’s no chance of rain so your hard work doesn’t get washed away.

No deck stain will last forever. Eventually, all deck stains will fail. The question is how long does it take, and how easy is it to maintain when it begins to fail. Some deck stains will need to be completely stripped or sanded every other year or two. Others, simply fade away and won’t need to be stripped. DEFY Wood Stains are easy to maintain. Simply clean the surface with an application of Wood Brightener and apply a light maintenance coat of DEFY semi-transparent or clear deck stain and you’re done.

The general rule of thumb is to apply only as much deck stain as the wood can absorb. Typically this will be 2 coats unless you are dealing with extremely dense hardwoods which may only be able to absorb 1 coat of wood stain. Watch this video to see more tips on how many coats of stain to apply.

Moisture Content of Wood When Applying Defy Stains

2019 Update on Moisture Content of Wood for Defy Stains

We love hearing from our customers who have used the Defy Stains or have questions. We appreciate your input, so feel free to leave a comment below and pictures of your completed projects if you have them.

Moisture Content of Wood When Applying Defy Wood and Deck Stains.

When applying defy deck stain it’s important to note the moisture content of the wood. If the wood you are staining is too moist it can create mold and mildew problems. If you apply stain to moist wood it can trap and seal the moisture in, which can also create rot and decay problems. To prevent this it’s important to check the moisture content of the wood whether it’s after a rainstorm or after you have washed the wood that you’re getting ready to stain.

To check the moisture content of wood when applying Defy deck stain you will need a moisture meter. Once you have a moisture meter you can stick the prongs into the wood so that you can get a moisture content reading. For the best results take several readings to get an average. Take a reading on some sections of the wood that get plenty of sun exposure and also on the more shaded areas of the wood. It is these more shady areas that tend to be moist for longer periods of time.
