Q

|
What is the difference between a Transparent, Semi-Transparent and Solid?
|
A
|
|
Our Exterior Transparent Stain and Sealers will give maximum clarity highlighting the wood grain. Our Semi-Transparent Stain is more opaque and is better suited when it is desired to hide some of the wood grain or where custom colors are desired. Our Solid Color products completely hide the wood grain and offer the most possibilities in color choice.
