How we rate the stains!
We
use the following criteria to rate the listed exterior stains. Check
the chart at the bottom. Keep in mind that every stain we rate has
performed well for us in the field, or else they would not make the list
to be rated here. For this evaluation we have not necessarily sub -
divided them into clear, pigmented, oil, water based or any other
category. We have chosen all the best stains that we know of, period.
1. Ease of application
2. Fade resistance (ability to retain color)
3. Wear resistance (Deck boards only)
4. Ease of cleaning & re-coating or stripping and re-coating
