DEFY Extreme Wood Stain Redwood Tone gal

This seems like a good product. It's only been on the deck for a couple of months so we will see how it holds up, but so far so good. It certainly looks nice.

Delivery was fast and the product is great if you follow the directions and apply the second coat before the first coat dries. I had one problem. I ordered two gallons of the semi-transparent redwood stain. One of the cans was severely dented on both sides of the lid, which caused some of the product to slosh out of the can during shipping. I estimated that about an inch or more of stain was lost during shipping. I ran out of stain while doing the steps of my deck. I estimate that the amount of stain lost during shipping would have been enough to complete my project. Now I have to buy another gallon.

The order/shipping from DTEP was excellent. I have many spindles in my deck railing which I spray on with a HVLP sprayer. Once I used the correct nozzle, the Defy product went on well. The wet-on-wet 2nd coat requirement is a little tricky to make sure all is covered adequately. I followed preparation directions completely. Now, ask me in several years to review again.
