Valspar 136188 1 qt. Neutral Base One-Coat Solid Exterior Wood Stain & Sealer

In the process of staining my log cabin home. The wood was sun damaged and the solid seems to be doing a great service for restoring and protecting from any further damage. Does feel like more of a paint Bohan a stain so do test areas first before committing.

Purchased last year to recolor my deck that had a solid stain on it from about 9 years ago. The old stain was still holding on well, just faded pretty bad. I didn't pressure was the deck, as it can damage the current stain, but I did use the Valspar deck cleaner and then rinsed it with a water hose. The deck looks great again and the stain adhered well to the surface. The only thing that gave me any issues was the fact that it dries very quickly. The salesperson told me not to stain in temps above 85, and never in direct sunlight, due to it fact that it can affect the ability of the product to adhere properly. Well, I quickly understood. It was in the mid 80's and it was drying in what seemed like minutes, rather than hours. Had to stop and start the next morning when the temp was in the late 60's.
