Difference between it and straight oil is that it has body to it being it has both the paraffinic oil and paraffinic wax.
Dam,

I thought alboline was a brand of sandwich meat... So much for the sandwich.

Shinebrite, Did you take pics of the smaller, sprayed deck? If so, could you post them, tell us wood type, stain color etc? This looks like the perfect stuff for my pressure treated deck. Thanks, Greg

Geeze. Wow. Have not seen such enthusiasm for a "new" stain since ... well it has been a while.

Caveat and history. Stain manufactures have come and gone, put products on the market that have been less than useful. Big names have tried various formulations. Many have been pulled, with good reason.

No disparage on Jake or Mark of Armstrong-Clark. Up front, forthcoming, smart, and more than knowledgeable on the coatings industry. And with one test deck here, looks good. Well, aside from the linseed oil!

Let's all give it a try, see how it pans out. Stain lifetime, or even more important for our customers, maintenance, is the real test.

I have looked into carrying this stain and Jake has informed me that he gave exclusiveness to another company. Hopefully that will change sometime in the future as I also believe this is a product with potential!

Now taking orders..lol..j/k

Ya sure the exclusivity wasn't the AC company itself?..Actualy maybe its Sherwin that has them tied up and maybe they want to put it everywhere. Is the stuff rumours are made of , haha..
Kelly Moore told me they had carried it but since Sherwin carries they jumped out. Caveat on the paint stores carrying it is that if they don't keep up on the quantity buying they may not have enough on hand for bigger jobs. Sherwin guy said to the effect that a group of stores have to order at least 2k of product that they split.

Naw when I mentioned to Jake how good Scott was, he(jake) said they have some contract for a distributor that handles a four state area or something. It means that person is the only allowed distributor of the product

Is that 2K of product units or $2K of product? If it is the latter, Windsor WoodCare is a larger stain purchaser than Sherwin Williams!

Its distributed through www.thestainshop.com . Appearantly they own Great Lakes Pressure Cleaning and have stepped into the distribution side of things early this spring. Pretty much the nature of how most pressurewashing and supply distributors were born

Rick, Was just relaying what salesman have said to me and that hardly ever means anything as we all know people say anything when they don't know something or are put on the spot.

Have talked to Jake on these things today and the facts are such:
Kelly Moore continues as their largest buyer but Kelly Moore is not nationwide.
The Kelly Moore guy telling me to the effect that they got out of AC due to Sherwin is apparently untrue and is a local thing. The store or stores local to me not carrying may relate more to their markups putting them in a non competative position with Sherwin.
The Sherwin guys info about their buying in quantity could be true internally far as they go but Jake affirmed to me that they would sell any quantity but the shipping becomes free after I think he said 35 gal.
The reason they are not in Sherwin back east is that the AC stain is their low VOC offering for 15 states. The 250 VOC has been in use for 8 years since 2000 so product considered as new or untested might not be fair.
Exclusive supplier that covers 5 states is www.thestainshop.com or The Stain Shop :: Deck Stains, Cleaners, Restoring, & Many More Tools
