Here's our Super Cedar on OLD PTP - Do NOT look at the handrails (they're ugly & painted and we couldn't mess with them!)

Looks nice! What did you think of the application?

[gt2003]

Scott, as a homeowner, diy'er, it was easy to apply. I brushed it on the floors and rails without any problems. The wood seems to soak up what it needs to and then I just brushed out the rest. No lapping, no stain sitting on top of the wood etc. And, I applied it liberally to make sure the wood could soak up what it needed. Hope you do well with the line. Take care, Greg

My guys thought it was very nice - great coverage rate, went into the wood very well. The time & exposure test has begun!

Customer asked for a light application. THis is one coat, still a bit wet.

Heres some shots of another job with cedar semi-transparent:
Pics are of a custom deck and 347 feet of fencing all stained with Cedar semi-trans. That fence only took 7.5 gallons!!

I wont post my prices on here, but I will tell you that in the four jobs I used AC on, my stain expense has averaged out to about 12 percent of my total bill. That means Im making a lot more money. Especially on fences where product cost is huge for me

Very sharp!!! All of them - even the Grey and I do not like Grey!

Yeah, I kinda like the grey too. Have any photos of the deck prior to staining?

Charles, What kind of wood in the cedar semi-transparent pics?

I agree with you on that.

[Beth n Rod]

We have a couple of decks we maintain with Grey (SRD) and this looks better to me than the SRD does. I think from now on if they want Grey this is what I'll suggest. Matt, thanks for sharing the pics.

oh how exciting.. gray displayed right before I attempt one!..
Matt, The gray is only semi trans right? Was it done on fully stripped wood or what?. I plan to use the driftwood as a maintenance coat over a deck just starting to show wear of its gray coat. Unsure what brand is there now..hope that works out.

Yes it is the semi trans. The nice thing about it is I can get it from ACR Products and I have it in 1 day UPS.

I am bidding a log cabin tomorrow. I may offer the AC Product line as an option to the homeowner.


The deck was prepped - stripped and neutralized in the usual fashion, It was also defurred prior to staining. It didn't need defurring, but we no w defelt / defurr all decks prior to staining. I just think the luster in the wood comes through more after defurring and the decks do look better.

Kev, I dont know if I would put AC down over another stain if I didn't know for sure it was there. Sounds like the potential for a mess. However, let ,e know if it works well.

The Pics do not do the project justice. The deck looks much better than the pics reflect. That was a one coat application as well, I looked at it today again and cured nicely
