Prep New Wood for Defy Stains

2022 Update on New Wood Application for Defy Stains

For new wood and Defy Deck Stains, the wood does need to season for a time and should be prepped. 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.


Prepping New Wood for Defy Exterior Wood Stains

Defy has stain products that are excellent for newer, more dense wood. With special penetrating properties, newer wood is shielded against water damage and graying. Defy Stains are not prone to peeling and flaking and will ensure beautiful and lasting results for your new exterior wood surfaces.

It is recommended that wood should be allowed to dry out for 3-6 months before cleaning and staining. New woods that are rich in oil such as mahogany should also dry out for 3-6 months before protecting with Defy Stain for new wood.

Weather You Deck Before Staining with Defy

Weather You Deck Before Staining with Defy Video 2022

We appreciate your input, so feel free to leave a comment below, ask questions, and pictures of your completed projects if you have them.


Watch this video to find out why you should let your new deck weather before using any deck stain on it. Weathering allows the surface of the wood deck to break down and become more porous. It also allows moisture or chemicals from the pressure-treating process time to dry out. This is important because the more porous the surface of the wood is, the better the stain will absorb into the wood, and the longer the wood stain will last.

Water Based vs. Oil Based Decking Stains

by Defy Help January 20, 2022

2022 Update on Water-Based vs. Oil-Based Decking Stains

Water-Based vs. Oil-Based Decking Stains questions? We appreciate your input, so feel free to leave a comment below and pictures of your completed projects if you have them.


Many people wonder what the advantages are of water-based vs. oil-based stains. Looking at the facts can reveal a lot and they might even surprise you. No doubt oil-based stains have been around the longest. For decades they were the only choice for staining and protecting wood surfaces, and not to take anything away from them. Oil-based stains have done a great job of preserving and protecting the wood for many years. However, water-based stains are now comparable if not better than old oil-based stain formulas due to recent technology.

Water-based stains may have gotten somewhat of a bad rap in the past but with today’s technology, they are hard to ignore. In fact, the evidence is piling up that water-based stains may take the trophy in the battle of water-based vs. oil-based stains. Using breakthrough technology, water-based stains are more durable than oil-based stains. With the light stabilizing innovation of the water-based stain Defy Extreme stain performance is up 600%. Using high-grade resins and a nanoparticle technology mimicking something of sunscreen, this water-based stain reflects harmful UV rays like no other tinted wood finish in its class.

Why Defy Stains Penetrate Better

by Defy Help January 20, 2022

Update on Why Defy Stain Penetrates Better than other water-based decking stains

Due to advancements in resin technology, the Defy Exterior Wood and Deck stains have become the best penetrating water-based deck stains on the market. We love hearing from our customers who have used the Defy Stains or have questions about the application. We appreciate your input, so feel free to leave a comment below and pictures of your completed projects if you have them.


Finding a good penetrating stain is the key to a lasting finish. Penetrating stains dive into the wood to protect it from the elements as opposed to film-forming stains that stay on top of the surface and are susceptible to peeling and flaking.

Defy wood stains are some of the best stains on the market because they penetrate so well. From their original synthetic blend to the newest in stain technology, Defy Extreme, these stains give the results homeowners are looking for.

Defy Exterior Wood and Decking stains do not use traditional “paint” resins like the other deck stain manufacturers. The resin they incorporate into their stains is specially formulated for deep penetration into the wood. The resins themselves are a much smaller molecule size than traditional paint resins. This allows the Defy to soak deeper into the wood. The better the stain gets into the wood, the better the stain will perform when it comes to wear and tear. This gives Defy Stains the characteristics of a traditional oil-based stain but in an environmentally “green” friendly product.
