TRISTAN

I'm Just Completing A 525 Sq. Ft Clear Cedar Deck. I Plan To Sand The Entire Deck To Remove Any Imperfections And Level All The Planks. I Want To Showcase The Cedar's Natural Color. I've Heard Cabots Makes A Good Product, How About Wolmans? Any Help?

Depending on where you are located Cabot may or may not be alright. Don't use cabot spf. The clear solution product line looks good down south still, but from what Ive heard, Cabots up north is poor. (VOC regulations making the stain no good)

Normally I would recommend a product called wood-tux, but we don't get much cedar decking in north Carolina and therefore my results are limited. The knots in cedar tend to show up very distinctly when stained with wood tux. It may be the same with other stains as well, but to what degree, im not sure.

I've heard that about Cabots in the NE also
However, I find no evidence of that and am still using it no problem
I have used it numerous times this season with no problems
I'm figuring it's an interweb rumor until I have proof otherwise
I can still recommend it

I've not used the Wolman's
