Stain in 4 Easy Steps

Wood Staining - Step 1

How Much Wood Stain Do I Need?

Use our Stain Calculator. The size of your project will determine how much wood stain is needed. Remember, solid color wood stains require two coats.

Wood Staining - Step 2

Clean Your Deck Or Patio

Sweep debris from your deck, then use Olympic Premium Deck Cleaner to wash away dirt and stains caused by mildew. See these How To Stain Wood articles for other staining projects.

Wood Staining - Step 3

Prep Your Wood Surface

Tape off the surfaces of your deck or patio you don't want stained. Avoid staining in direct sunlight so the wood stain does not dry unevenly. Then get ready to apply wood stain!

Wood Staining - Step 4

Apply Wood Stain

For even coverage, apply the wood stain to one board at a time. For best results, backbrush into the wood surface. Refer to the Product Label, Technical Data Sheet (TDS) or Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for safety and detailed application instructions.
