The thing I like about woodtux compared to other 'drying' stains - is that I can fully load the wood with one pass. Other stains even the drying ones were so thin - you had to apply two coats just to fill the wood up. Parafinnic stains to me are like applying water - I am reading what Rick is typing about how he applies it, and it just simply amazes me that you can throw it on like that - I never slung stain like that around! I personally do not see the longevity of parafinnic even on softwoods. My own deck has timber oil on pressure treated - and as much as I love it - it definitely isn't something that could go 2 years!
