Resin-Based Deck Stain
I found a website this morning before going out to buy products for
deck cleaning and deck restoration. The author claimed any oil-based stain will contribute to the growth of mildew in pressure-treated wood. He suggests strongly buying a "resin-based" stain, and a search for that term on Google, Yahoo, and other search engines turned up warnings that popular brands of stain contain only 5% resin. So-- Where can I buy resin-based stain or protectant? Any suggests of websites or particularly of stores in the Northeastern Pennsylvania region Greatly appreciated. |

Most stains have anti mildew agents in them. My deck stain does not
mildew much but where it is worn off to wood , the wood does. Go to a real paint store talk to a pro about what they have. There are also anti mildew additives you can buy . If it occurs a bit of bleach sprayed in garden sprayer will kill it. Im in total shade so I use bleach alot or I would have black concrete walks. |
