Q: Do you have to seal wood stain?

• <div><p>Applying a topcoat sealer is not required, but it will keep the stain from fading over time. This is particularly important if the stain imparts a color or varnish. If you&rsquo;re <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-stain-wood.htm">staining exterior wood</a>, you should apply a sealant or finish to prevent weather-related issues down the line. Also, stained wood that lacks a seal won&rsquo;t look as clean and fresh. A clear topcoat will give it the professional result you want. </p></div>

Q: What is the best way to apply stain?

• <div><p>Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you&rsquo;re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around <b>four hours</b> between coats.</p></div>

Q: What should you not use on a composite deck?

• <div><p>Avoid using cleaning products that are abrasive or contain bleach or acidic components on composite decking to avoid discoloration. Early-generation Trex decking isn&rsquo;t designed to handle pressure washer cleaning&mdash;and if you use them on second-generation boards, always use a low setting to avoid the risk of damage that can risk voiding your warranty. </p></div>

Q: How many years will deck stain last?

• <div><p>A quality deck stain lasts 2 to 5 years, depending on the type of stain, weather exposure, and how well the deck is maintained. Transparent stains may need reapplication sooner, while solid stains tend to last longer. Regular maintenance, including cleaning and sealing, will help extend the life of your finish.</p></div>
