DEFY
Deck Sealer Uses
DEFY Deck Stain for Hardwoods can be used on interior or
exterior smooth hardwood surfaces including: wood siding, decks,
outdoor wood furniture, and other hardwood surfaces. For more
porous surfaces such as pressure treated lumber, pine and rough
sawn lumber, use DEFY Epoxy Fortified Wood Stain. DEFY Deck Stain
for Hardwoods is available in Cedar Tone, Light Walnut, and Natural
Pine. Finding a cedar stain or redwood deck stain product that
actually works is difficult, as most deck stains have trouble
penetrating oil-rich or dense wood types. This product was
specifically designed with smaller resins to penetrate better which
helps eliminate surface buildup and peeling. Other products out
there claim to be the best stain for cedar decks but there is only
one – DEFY Deck Stain for Hardwoods.
Easy
Deck Sealer Maintenance
DEFY deck stains will give you years of protection for
your deck and are easy to maintain. Periodically, as the surface
begins to get dirty or dull, simply wash it down with a mild
detergent and water. As the weather begins to wear away at the
surface and the color begins to fade, a maintenance coat will need
to be applied. To check the surface to see if it is ready for a
maintenance coat, simply sprinkle a little water on it. If the
water is immediately absorbed into the wood, then it is ready to be
recoated.
The first step in the maintenance process is to apply a
coat of Wood Brightener. This will lighten any minor graying and
clean the surface. Allow the surface to dry 24 hours followed by a
single coat application of DEFY Deck Stain for Hardwoods as
directed on the label. A maintenance coat will generally result in
a slightly darker color than the original
application.
All of the DEFY deck sealers contain powerful sunscreens
to block damaging UV rays. Ultra violet rays cause wood to turn
gray and become susceptible to water penetration and decay. Deck
Stain for Hardwoods contains synthetic resins that do not attract
mildew and algae like other natural resin (oil-based) stains do.
Additionally, this deck stain is a water repellent that reduces
water penetration up to 90%.
Environmentally Friendly
All of the DEFY wood stains meet the Green Performance
Standards of the Master Painters Institute (MPI) which takes into
account performance and environmental friendliness in light of the
latest environmental regulations.
