Restaining your fence is as simple as applying another coat of fence stain over a previous application of Wood Defender™. The Wood Defender Fence Stain product can penetrate itself, so there is no need to powerwash or strip back to bare wood. If there is no mildew present or darkening of the surface, you can apply a fresh coat of Wood Defender. If there is any mildew present, then it would be advised to apply a coat of bleach to first address any mildew. Once the bleach wash has dried for a minimum of 24 hours, you can then apply the fresh coat of fence stain.
Switching your fence stain color to a darker option is as simple as spraying on the new color. The Wood Defender product can penetrate itself, so making this change is not an issue.
- Prepare the wood surface to be stained.
- If washed, allow it to completely dry.
- Apply the wood stain with a roller or sprayer and saturate the surface.
- Allow the product to penetrate, and using a roller on an extension pole, remove any areas where the product may have puddled on the surface.
