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: Do decks need to be primed before painting?

• <div><p>Unless you&rsquo;re using a 2-in-1 formula or painting over an existing coat of paint, it pays to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/quick-primer-interior-painting.htm">apply a coat of primer</a> ahead of your new paint. Decks see a lot of footfall and exposure to extreme and sudden temperature changes and moisture levels. The primer promotes better paint adhesion, moisture repellency, and a smoother finish, which means you&rsquo;ll often need fewer coats of paint. </p></div>

Q: How long does wood stain take to dry?

• <div><p>Wood stain is usually dry to the touch within 6 to 8 hours, but you should let each coat sit for 24 hours before applying another coat or applying a protective coat over it. If you applied your stain in high humidity or cold temperatures, you may need to wait up to 48 hours for the stain to dry completely.</p></div>

Q: What is the most cost-effective way to resurface a pool deck?

• <div><p>A concrete overlay is often the most cost-effective way to resurface a pool deck. To do this, you&rsquo;ll need to pour a thin layer of concrete over the existing pool deck, which you can customize by stamping or painting. A <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/stamped-concrete-adds-affordable-appeal-outdoor-patios.htm">stamped concrete</a> overlay provides additional traction on a pool deck that can help minimize the risk of people slipping and falling. </p></div>

Q: What exterior paint can handle extreme heat?

• <div><p>Just like how acrylic paint is one of the best options for full sun exposure, it is also the winner when it comes to the best paint types for homes that experience extreme heat. Again, you'll want to choose neutral, lighter-colored paints for the best results. These paint colors stand the best chance against scorching summer heat. </p></div>
