AC Redwood Tone & Cedar Semi Fence

[Tonyg]

Finally found a color that I really like. It looked really really nice on an old PT deck board I made samples out of and I was able to do a fence with it this morning. The CS adds a little more body to it and tones down the red.I think this will be the stain I push from here on out. 3 Part Redwood Tone and 1 part Cedar Semi. This fence was still drying and its a little hard to tell the real color but after the way it looked in person I can't wait to try it on a deck.

I have been experimenting with the AC colors to get a better selection. I have 3 "reds", 3 "orange", and 3 brown now.

Tony,

Nice. Kind of looks like RS natural cedar on white cedar. I like it, you can still tell it's wood!

Tonyg,
We make up actual samples of all our colors and products available. If we get something new, we just add it. It is pretty cumbersome at times, but qualifying a customers needs will soften the blow. Our samples are PT and about a foot long. If they are tough to deal with, just make a new sample for their approval and be sure to add it to your collection.

Terry,

I was actually trying to go in the other direction. Its not that I don't like all of their colors but I think I would rather come up with some that are a bit more marketable (sorry Jake). I have found this spring that too many colors means inventory - and inventory can be expensive and turn into wasted money.

I wanted 9 colors with 3 in each group. I cut up a 2x6 replacement board into 4in blocks and present them together in one tray. Ive found too many color choices, just like paint, can complicate decisions and this way I can limit what I need to keep on hand for custom mixing. I also can utilize the leftover cans better when I use a partial five. I still have about a gallon and a half of each of the WT colors taking up space.

Ken, the CS looks really good but whenever I have used it I always think the same thing - too orange. It looks good and that and the Super Cedar are in my sample pack.

Ken,

Hah!!! Perfect. Does an artisan turn into a businessman or the other way around? Circles in life.

Tony,

There are many of us here that can supplement your inventory!

I was hoping to donate the leftover WT to TGS as a contribution

Now if you have AC laying around I will stock up

I have about 30 gallons Of WT. I may throw in a gallon here and a gallon there ? Or donate it to Good Will ?

GOOD WILL? Hah! Ship it to Somalia, pirates can seal their frigates. Works on wet wood!

Ken,

Friggin' pirates. It is now 2009. We still have bonafide pirates! This is great. Gotta' love their moxie in a country gone berserk.

Allah bless them, will wonders never cease.

I like pirates. Especially in my lifetime. Thought that the WalMart generation killed pure entrepreneurial spirit. Guess again...

For all you people that mix im curious what you do with all the leftover? How are you measuring 3parts to 1 part? Do you pour into gallon containers and mix in a new bucket?

9 mixes seems like a heck of a lot of stain to keep around

We tried to donate some to a couple of charities, Habitat was one of them, they can't take sealers, stains, paints.
