Hi,

Which is better in terms of ease of application, longevity,
and cleanup, water- or oil-based stain? These are aged
but clean PT decks. Are the differences that significant?

Thanks,
Gary

Obviously water based is much easier to clean up and IMHO easier to apply
(no bad fumes to breathe). Not sure about longevity though. Water based
products exist mostly to comply with gov't regulations concerning low VOC
products not so much to make it easier for consumers but it sure is
appreciated.

If you plan to use a sprayer, definately go with water based or the cleanup
will be a pain ITA.
