Behr Solid Color Stain

Posted by blakeas (My Page) on

Last year around this time, I bought the behr solid color stain for my deck. Did all the prep work and have been satified. A year later and I see chips in the stain, spots, etc. Do I need to resand all the way down? or can I just put another coat on top? What is the correct procedure?

I already did, last year. I am asking now that I have chips do I have to resand or can I put a new coat down?

You can either do like the ol song Put the lime in the Coconut, that is do the same thing that caused the problem in the first place all over again.

Or you can strip off that bogas finish completley that = md80,oxalic wash,finish sanding with an orbital 80 grit, two coats quality finish. J.

John,
What would be your preference in quality solid color stains. I've used Thompsons in the past, but it is no longer available or I can't find it in my area. VOC's I'm guessing. I never had it flake. It just gradually wore away until it needed recoating.

I would use a higher quality stain! If you can get it all off don't use a full bodied stain, use a semi transparent with some uv protection. this will be far less maintenance in the long run. full bodied stains act like paint in exterior deck applications. good luck getting it off. denver deck
