Question 7

Can you use this on natural rope that I may be using in between deck boards in a screened in porch? I don't want to actually stain the old deck though, I just want to stuff the natural rope, after it is soaked in the stain, and wedge it into the spaces. But maybe I will stain the existing deck, too. Any ideas for the right product for the rope or the rope and the deck? View answer

Question 16

I have been searching everywhere and I cannot find a solution to how to remove polywhey. I understand that it is a good product but I do not like the look of it on my indoor trim at all. I cannot find product lists, and when I called the company all they would tell me is that it contains whey and that I should sand it off. Given that this is an indoor application, that just isn't feasible. Everything has a solvent but I just can't figure out (short of using a horrible paint stripper) how to remove it without sanding?

Question 41

I'm building a log cabin and need help in selecting stains to test for the outside of the logs. The logs will be treated with borate, but need protection from the sun and rain. I'm extremely chemically sensitive, and any products containing natural rubber latex (AKA latex) would not be an option. Suggestions? Naturally I want a product that will hold up as long as possible, but it's most important that it is relatively inert and doesn't cause any reactions for me. I'll be testing before application for my tolerance, since even I don't know what I will react to half of the time, I understand that you have no control over what might or might not work and how my body might react. What offers the best performance for the chemically sensitive? View answer

Question 45

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

Question 49

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
