Default painting wood using oil-based paint

They no longer offer solid versions of their oil
stains, which seems to be what the OP wants.
Their "semi-solid" is just a glorified semi-transparent.
It's can't be made to fully cover in 2 coats. Worse,
they dropped out a lot of the drier in order to meet
EPA specs. Their oil-base stains can now take days,
even in Summer heat, to dry. With two coats that
problem is amplified.

The first time I discovered that was with a sunny
roof deck. The customer walked out on the deck the
next morning and left bare foot marks! The following
morning it still wasn't dry. The big problem with BM
is that they make these changes without changing
the product labeling.
