Prepare for Exterior Stain Application

Rejuvenating and restoring your wood are important preparatory steps in the finishing process. Cabot offers a variety of products to assist with these key tasks. Choose from an assortment of wood cleaners that remove buildup, giving you a refreshed surface that stains and finishes can adhere to with greater ease. After cleaning, apply a Cabot primer to ready the surface for staining. Cabot’s primers dry quickly, so you can move on to the next step in your finishing job sooner.

Cabot Stain Opacity Options

When it comes to deck stain, Cabot produces a wide range of colors as well as a selection of opacities. Select a color that is close to the primary or trim color of your home or achieve bolder effects by selecting a deck stain in a contrasting color.

In addition to choosing the shade that will best coordinate with your home's facade, consider which finish is right for the area. Cabot's opacity options include:

• DeckCorrect: This stain is extra thick and acts as a deck resurfacer, filling in gaps and cracks while disguising flaws.
• Solid stain: This solid color deck stain provides total coverage that conceals the wood grain, but it is not as thick as the deck resurfacer.
• Semi-solid stain: Extra pigments make semi-solid stain able to resist fading over time. Its coverage level allows a hint of the wood grain to remain visible.
• Semi-transparent deck stain: With semi-transparent deck stain, more of the natural grain pattern in the wood is visible as its lighter pigments make color subtler.
• Transparent deck stain: For just a touch of color, opt for transparent deck stain, which enables the beauty of wood grain to be easily seen.
• Clear sealer: If you prefer an unfinished look, try clear deck sealer. Its formula protects wood from the effects of moisture and UV without any added pigments to distract from the wood grain.

Before covering your entire deck with Cabot stain, apply the color to a discreet area with a paintbrush. Let it dry thoroughly and then assess whether the shade is ideal for your outdoor living space.
