When should you not use wood filler?

• <div><p>Avoid using wood filler for structural repairs or areas with extensive damage. Wood filler is designed for cosmetic fixes like filling small holes, cracks, or surface imperfections, and it doesn't provide the strength needed for load-bearing repairs or large gaps. You also shouldn’t use wood filler in areas exposed to heavy moisture or extreme outdoor conditions unless it’s a product specifically rated for such environments. Wood replacement or a strong epoxy resin is a better solution for severe rot or structural damage. </p></div>

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’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’t look as clean and fresh. A clear topcoat will give it the professional result you want. </p></div>

Q: Is there a wood filler that looks like wood?

• <div><p>Yes, there are several wood filler products on the market that look like wood. Your best bet is to take a cabinet door to your local hardware store to match the appropriate wood filler to your door. Some brands make filler that is masked to look like wood and can also be sanded, cut, stained, and painted. </p></div>

Q: Is it okay for patio furniture to get wet?

• <div><p>This depends on the furniture. It&rsquo;s certainly fine for wood, metal, or composite materials to get wet. The same cannot be said for affiliated cushions and coverings. Many of these adjacent items claim to be water-resistant, but poorly-made accessories take longer to dry, leaving plenty of time for mold to grow. Keep an eye on how your furniture stands up to rain before going in with a pressure washer. </p></div>

Q: Why is my wood stain still rubbing off after drying?

• <div><p>If your wood stain is still rubbing off after the recommended drying time, it means the pigments didn&rsquo;t soak into the wood properly and remain on the surface. There are a few possible causes, including applying the stain in hot temperatures, applying too much stain, or failing to wipe off excess before it dries completely.</p></div>

Diamond coating team did my floor in my closet. They gave me great advice and information that helped me choose the perfect coating for my area. They covered everything and protected my furniture and walls. I highly recommend them to anybody looking for a coating!

Very friendly, very careful and professional and handled our furniture very well. Moved things in the home that wasn't even part of the initial move. Would definitely recommend Collin and Kyler.

Rick did not do the paint job on my furniture correctly the first time so I asked him to re-do it. He now has had my furniture in his possession for almost two months and will not bring it back to me or return my calls. I wanted to have it back this week because my daughter was coming to...

They were very good. They were very flexible on when to come and arrived promptly as promised. My cost was without furniture, so I was glad they had two different pricing scales.
