Transparent Formula

  • Deep penetrating oil formula for fences, decks, siding, hardwoods & shakes
  • Our Transparent stain is available in Honey, Cedar, Natural, and Redwood colors.
  • Transparent stain is also available in Clear.  Due to the absence of pigment in the finish, Clear will have a shorter service life than the color options and will have a tendency to allow wood to gray underneath the finish. 

Coverage Rates

  • Rough cut lumber coverage = 100-175 sf/gallon.
  • Smooth lumber coverage = 175-250 sf/gallon.

Get Real Good Facts
Wood stains today are required to meet the environmental standard of lower volatile organic compounds. Linked to pollution, smog and respiratory problems, VOCs also cause headaches and dizziness. Some may even be carcinogenic. Some of the nation's top stains in the industry today just meet this environmental standard.

Get Real Peace-of-Mind
Maintain wood's beauty and integrity with ultra-low VOC oil-based stains from Expert. Stain professionals' and homeowners' real peace-of-mind comes from knowing that exterior wood projects, and their immediate and global environments are safeguarded against higher off gas levels, keeping them beautifully protected during and after application, for up to three years.

How to Apply Stain
The best application method is to use an airless sprayer and to apply a flood coat, which means to spray the board until it stops absorbing. The excess will bead up and run off without causing streak marks.

Product Resources:

Surface Preparation

  • New wood should be allowed to age and cure before staining. 
  • The surface must be clean, dry (<13% moisture content) for at least 48 hours, with no rain or sprinkler use for 24 hours before and after stain application. 
  • Never apply Expert Stain & Seal to wet or sealed wood.

Product Application

  • Mix contents well before use and stir contents often during use.
  • Stir thoroughly, as pigment concentrations may settle.
  • DO NOT THIN THIS PRODUCT.
  • If using multiple pails of stain, mix them for consistent color uniformity.
  • Apply using a brush, roller, stain mitt, stain applicator pad, or sprayer.
  • Apply one coat by fully saturating the wood surface with a generous amount of stain.
  • Do not allow the stain to pool or puddle on flat surfaces.
  • Remove or spread out any stain left on the wood surface after 30-60 minutes.
  • Expert Stain & Seal self-levels on vertical surfaces, while back-brushing may be required on horizontal surfaces.
  • Using a dry cloth, remove puddled or excess stain after application from flat, horizontal surfaces.
