Applied this product to a small sq ft, 15 yrs old deck in Application and initial appearance were very good. One year later there are several spots on the horizontal surfaces where the stain has worn away.
This deck is used lightly. I am looking for a better option. Reply John oliver custom decks 1 year ago Ive been using behr for over 20 years. Im a pro deck builder. In that time its only failed twice and esch time it was application error. If you dont do everything right it wont adhere, or wont cure properly, and it will fail prematurely. Its that simple. Prep the surface. Clean it. Use the behr deck prep and rinse thoroughly. Do not apply in direct sunlight but if you do make sure it less than 65 degrees.
Apply on low humidity days. Do not over apply. Thicker is not better! It will fail!! Temp range is 50 to 90 and must not get cold at night. My stain usually lasts 5 to 7 years.
I hope this helps some of you. You must follow application guidelines. Nothing like the color represented on the can or in the brochure. What is The best oil penetrating clear stain that is water resistant and does best in Arizona hot sun? I am thrilled with the results. It allows the grain to show through with a satin sheen that is beautiful.
There was no tackiness, peeling or other issues. They blend together very well and achieve the same color and sheen. It has been 5 years since the last application and I estimate another couple years before the most weather exposed areas will require another coat.
The more protected areas look nearly as good as 5 years ago and are years away from needing work. I am getting more life out of the second treatment. I have achieved similar results on a pt deck railing using their natural finish. The vinyl deck surface is 15 years old and only requires occasional hosings and annual scrubbing. This stuff is junk! We have a deck that we wanted to change the color of, never stained it before.
Went to Home Depot and asked what to get. Told him our deck was 7 years old, cleaned the deck every year and looked great, just wanted to change the color and protect it. Got the semi transparent stain and protector and got the wash suggested by Behr. Washed the deck and waited a good week or two before staining it. It is rotting my boards from underneath.. Junk …. More likely junk wood. Could also be affected by poor ventilation, your micro climate, too close to the ground, insufficient board spacing, etc.
Maybe your deck should have been left unsealed. Or an oil based sealer would have been a better choice for YOU to make. Nearly every manufacturer makes an oil based option. I used several Gallons of this on vertical and horizontal surfaces. That was six months ago, and it still looks like day 1. I will note that on second coat it was dark enough that it almost looks like paint, despite being semi transparent.
I will not that my fiance helped me with one side of a staircase and she was a little careless in her application not wiping off excess , and it is splotchy and you see lap marks everywhere. I have used it and its mediocre. TWP does not pay us anything and we are not paid by anyone to rn this site. Behr has horrible reviews from homeowners here as well, just read the comments.
We rate Defy very well. It is a great stain. We are in Northeast Ohio. Waited for new PT deck to settle from 9 months being installed. Did all the prep correctly.
Took dog to daycare. Watched weather report constantly to check local hourly and radar. Thought we were finally ready. Seemed to go on as stated. Apparently the weather forecast changed sometime during our work. Less than 2 hours after second coat, the rain came. I was sick to my stomach not wanting to look. There was some beading but also areas of pooling.
In the days and now 3 weeks out, the tackiness was noticeable and ongoing. Despite there being a nice sunny day on day 2 and many after. Not being able to keep our dogs from using deck to backyard forever, they went out but still no prolonged play. Any hope to offer? We have a cedar fence previously stained with semi transparent Thompson stain from Home Depot. In less then 3 yrs it faded a lot -some places down to bare wood. We now have a gallon of Behr tranperent stain. I looked online and we should have semi transperent stain.
We picked a darker colour -are we on the right track? Behr is known for not making very good stains. Return it and get a better brand that is semi-transparent:. Reply Jacob 2 years ago same issues!! Do not buy. This Behr product ruined my whole project. I spent months on this project and it was a great success—until the last step of applying the Behr waterproofing finish. It should be taken off the market. Within 3 years after staining, most of it turned dark brown to almost black in areas, it only looked good for the first year.
Followed Behr procedures, used their All-In-One wood cleaner, applied in two thin coats after allowing the wood to dry. Noticed some areas not looking good after a year, so reapplied deck cleaner and then two more thin coats of stain.
Almost like the stain was trapping water in the wood. Unstained wood on a retaining wall built at the same time looks weathered but no rotting! I would have been better to do nothing to the deck. Bought the Behr textured deck paint. Followed directions exactly. Applied late summer, and when the next spring rolled around I could literally peal it like a sunburn, unfortunately not everywhere so it was a disaster.
Flipped my boards over last fall. Just this past week, power washed, let dry and applied Behr semi-transparent stain…. Lost receipt for this last purchase! I agree. Same exact problem, same exact issue. After two weeks it is still not dry. Lousy product and lousy support.
The last time all they were willing to do for me was to give me new product. In November? Like that would help me out. Now, five years later, I unfortunately forgot the troubles I had. Guess what? Here we go again…. Followed directions. Everything is slightly tacky. Behr recommended using dish soap and washing the porch since this is a water based product.
Did this twice and it had little to no effect. I can live with the walls and ledges being slightly tacky, but not the floor.
Hoping that eventually the tackiness will disappear. But since this is a covered porch, it does not get sun light. Very disappointing. This a follow-up to my use of Behr Transparent Waterproofing Stain. Called Behr again and was told to strip the porch. They would pay for stripper and wood conditioner and stain. It took me three uses of the stripper plus some sanding to remove the stain.
Waited three days to make sure wood was totally dry. Waited 3 hours when deck was dry and applied second coat. Next three days I ran overhead fan 24 hours. At end of third day, the deck was even stickier than prior to stripping and staining!
So after all of this effort and consultation with Behr, I have an even stickier screened porch. I wonder whether people struggling with this defective product should consider a class action suit. I have complained again to Behr and am waiting to hear from their claims department. I want them to pay someone to remove this from my porch. Please keep me in mind if a class action lawsuit begins. I am also in agreement that they should pay someone to strip up the existing mess.
Why should I do it when their product is defective? Will this ever dry or go away? We used the Behr semi -transparent stain and sealer and after one year barely it is starting to peel and there is black mold or something appearing in the stain.
