For the exterior cedar floor of a catio (enclosed outdoor space for my cats), would the waterproofing or penetrating stain be a better option? I am not sure how much the cats will claw at the floor or raised sitting shelves and want to have the safest space for them. I don't expect them to shred the wood but, they will no doubt wallow on it. View answer

Does the tint of the stain make the wood look painted? I have weathered cedar pickets--some are very grey. About 25 years ago, when I applied boiled linseed oil to aged-grey pickets, it brought out the natural grains without a painted look. However, I am opposed to using a toxic product. I am trying to figure out if I should use the PolyWhey in a brownish color or the waterproofer; the challenge is I don't want a painted look, but I also want to revive the aged-grey pickets and restore some natural color. Any suggestions? View answer

Can I use Vermont Ext Penetrating or AFM Polyureseal Ext (or a different product) to seal and protect birch wood veneer tables with an existing acrylic lacquer finish? If so, will it take after a light sanding or does the existing acrylic lacquer need to be fully sanded off (or stripped?). These are indoor tables I want to make into outdoor tables with weather resistance. Thanks! View answer

Concerned about how to figure out how much wood decking to work with at a time so I can get the second coat on before first coat is too dry? Put an oil based stain and sealer on weathered deck, wood sucked up 2 coats; can I get by with a light sanding before applying your poly whey product? View answer

I have a home with cedar siding that's very weathered and has had Penofin applied to it a couple of times - at least 10 years ago. There are areas where it looks like varnish was applied when the house was originally built in the '50's which would have to be sanded. Everything is mildewed/darkened but overall a cleaning and a brightener would probably bring the wood back to its original color. I am looking for a product to apply that will protect the wood, resist mildew/mold growth, last for several years and be able to be reapplied without having to sand prior to reapplication. What do you recommend? View answer

I applied this product about 1 1/2 to 2 years ago on some outdoor furniture. I am ready to re-apply. The instructions make it sound like you have to sand when you re-apply. But, it sounds like, from another answer, maybe not. Is using the Rubio cleaner sufficient? Or, how does know if you need to fully sand or not? It seems pretty vague and the product instructions only say to sand if previously coated. They do not give you ANY information on the maybe/maybe not part. View answer
