Weather You Deck Before Staining with Defy Video 2024

We appreciate your input, so feel free to leave a comment below, ask questions, and pictures of your completed projects if you have them.

Watch this video to find out why you should let your new deck weather before using any deck stain on it. Weathering allows the surface of the wood deck to break down and become more porous. It also allows moisture or chemicals from the pressure-treating process time to dry out. This is important because the more porous the surface of the wood is, the better the stain will absorb into the wood, and the longer the wood stain will last.

This a very helpful video. I have a new PTP deck. I will wait the 3 months to weather. Should I use both a cleaner and a wood brightener after>

Yes, you need both the Defy Wood cleaner and the Defy Wood Brightener for the prep.
