Bought 2 5 gallon buckets of stain seal 151 each realized using the pump spray method I way short revisited store that same product 185 each!!!! had to buy 4 more buckets!!
It's great stain and the folks at Wood Defender have been at this a LONG time. They actually make their product rather than private label someone else's stuff so they have total control over quality. It doesn't hurt that they are great people too!
Hi! I started staining a portion of my cedar fence with a natural cedar tone. Unfortunately after I started I realize that color has too much of a orange undertone. So I wanted to know if there is a way for me darken the color with more brown undertone.
You can always go darker--you can't go lighter. You'll want to contact the folks at Wood Defender directly with your color blending question: wooddefender.com/contact-us/
Can you use this on gabled patio covers? I’m thinking about rolling/brushing it on. I think a weed sprayer would work but it will waste a lot of stain.
From this video, I observe that, with notable exceptions, fencing professionals tend to be 4"-7" shorter than the average American male. You'd think with the kind of work they do, they would stretch but apparently not. Or did they?
The 200 series has a 2-year warranty. If properly applied, it can last up to twice that long. So you're looking at reapplying every 2-4 years, depending on your fence.
Thanks for the reply! I know WD makes their own line of equipment but for someone just starting off, is there a sprayer you’d recommend that was higher storage capacity but not a backpack (I’d imagine it’s be pretty tiring wearing that thing all day!)
I mean if you're just starting out and you have access to power, they're bucket-top sprayer is pretty tempting. Otherwise their cart machine or an upgraded chemical sprayer work really well. wooddefender.com/equipment/ We've got a video coming out this weekend where the guys are using the upgraded chemical sprayer and it worked real well.
Ok great, I’ll check it out. How do you go from job to job using the chemical sprayer with different colors each time? Wouldn’t you have to stop and clean it out between each job?
Hmmm, I don't do enough spraying to answer that comprehensively. I'm pretty sure you would have to, but they know you're going to be doing that on the regular so I'm pretty sure they've made it doable. The folks at Wood Defender can tell you for sure: wooddefender.com/contact-us/
There will be discoloration of the grass at the base of the fence if the stain is applied by a sprayer. During the growing season, the grass should rebound within three to six weeks on an irrigated lawn.
Over $1,000 to do my small yard fence? Sorry, for 1 year coverage, I would rather put that into a new fence at this point. Looks like an amazing product, but no for me.
You can spray about 150ft for about $1,000 but a 150ft fence will cost you about $5,000. A fence is just like everything else, if you don’t keep it maintained it will not take long for it to look bad.
The oil base is superior for sure. It penetrates so much more and lasts longer.

They have an online estimator to help you figure out how much you'll need in advance: wooddefender.com/estimator/
How is this different than ready seal?
Looks like some solid product.

You'll have to ask the manufacturer. wooddefender.com/contact-us/
What they sprayed on the porous surfaces before staining?
water mixed with Dawn dish soap
@@SWiFence thanks
Do they ship to Canada or is there a Canadian distributor?
I'd be surprised if they couldn't take care of you. Reach out to them and see what they say. wooddefender.com/contact-us/
I had some overspray and due to gust ended up on my neighbours house wall and window. What is a cheap and reliable way to fix it ?
This is a great question for their customer-support team: wooddefender.com/contact-us/
What do you do about the overspray on the metal pipes?
Wipes right off.
The film they are adding to porous surfaces to prevent overspread, is that a product or just water?
They're wetting the non-porous surfaces with plain ol' water.
So where can I get this product in the Ft. Worth area? It is not widely available to consumers direct?
You can look up their store locations in Fort Worth on their website here: wooddefender.com/find-product/ It looks like there are several.
what wand are you using with the sprayer?
The nice wand in the pump sprayer comes from Wood Defender. The one in the Kobalt is stock with the sprayer.
Quick question. After cleaning a fence or a deck with chemicals how long should I wait till I can stain my deck with your product? 48 hours or longer?
Give them a shout-out--they can answer your questions most accurately. 800-658-KOTE or wooddefender.com/contact-us/.
Can we get the links to those sprayers? The pumpy and the std2w?
Their website is all I've got: wooddefender.com/equipment/
@@SWiFence I emailed then the same day I wrote this comment and have had no response from them.
@@BigHomie030call them.

Not all fencing professionals are short. Only the good ones. 😁
How often does wood defender need to be reapplied?
The 200 series has a 2-year warranty. If properly applied, it can last up to twice that long. So you're looking at reapplying every 2-4 years, depending on your fence.
@@SWiFence Ok. Thanks!
Go Wyo!!
Are those cardboard pieces or masking paper at the bottom of the fence?
No, that's just concrete.

What about on pressure treated lumber?
You have to make sure the pressure-treated lumber is cured first, which can take 3 to 6 months from the mill. But if that's the case--yes.
Will this harm the grass
There will be discoloration of the grass at the base of the fence if the stain is applied by a sprayer. During the growing season, the grass should rebound within three to six weeks on an irrigated lawn.
