Q: If the weather isn’t perfect, can I still stain my outdoor wood surfaces?
A: Wood staining projects are no longer dependent on perfect weather conditions. Olympic MAXIMUM®’s Weather-Ready Application™ gives you greater opportunities for staining when it may rain, or if the weather is too hot or cold. Now you can stain your deck when you want to, not when the weather allows it. Here are 5 reasons staining your deck with Olympic MAXIMUM makes sense for your next staining project.

On Hot Sunny Days
Olympic MAXIMUM stains allows you to mist & apply on hot sunny days. High temperatures won't slow down your staining.
High quality resins in Olympic MAXIMUM allow you to apply stains across a large temperature window. How? They allow you to apply fresh stain after misting your wood with water, which helps reduce the surface temperature. This process prevents stain from drying too quickly and helps alleviate brush marks. Not applicable to solid color stains.
