How we do it

Penetrating stain soaks into the grain and fades instead of peeling. Solid film finishes peel and then need stripping.

Penetrating semi-transparent or semi-solid stain, not a film-forming finish. Penetrating stain fades and recoats cleanly; film finishes peel and then need stripping before you can do anything at all.

The mistake we get called to fix

Solid stain on a horizontal deck surface. It looks great for two years and then peels in sheets, and stripping a peeling deck costs more than the original job.
