I would check the web site for rust-Oleum for that answer. If you have read my response on this site you will see that My experience with this product was very bad, it flaked and peeled of in a couple of months and is still flaking off at this time six months later. Rust-Oleum refunded my money after I contacting them with pictures and receipts. It may work perfectly well for you but I cannot recommend it due to my experience.

Hopefully you would have better luck than I did. First results were fantastic. As winter progressed it started to bubble up....now it is peeling off. Very upset....now they tell you to sand your wood before using the product. If it is a new deck I would not use it....good luck.

I used this on pressure treated wood that had been outside for about 4 months. It's all peeling up now--about six months after application.

I used Goo Gone but watch how hard you rub. If you have wood veneer finish, it may take it off too.

If the wood, on the deck, is not rotted you can use the wood filler for repair. Any rot must be removed and replaced first. If the wood is "soft" you may be able to use "wood hardener" from Minwax before using the filler.

The only way to do this is by COMPLETELY sanding the old cabinets. This product is not like paint, it is a stain and works best on light to medium colored wood. The color (end result) varies depending on the original color of wood.

The wood is unfinished and untreated. I would recommend sealing the wood with marine varnish or deck sealer before using outdoors.

It is raw wood, so I would say no. I wanted to prolong its life so I sealed it with Thomas wood sealer. It turned out great

This unit comes with a stain already applied. You may be able to order it without stain and then stain it yourself but you would have to contact the manufacturer directly. You could probably use another stain and get it darker but once a stain is applied it's pretty much done unless you sand every piece down to raw wood again. Hope this helps. Sorry for the long delay but the question got buried in my email.

This won't remove the stain, it removes the varnish. If you like the color then seal it. if not stain it the color you want. Good luck

It's a raw wood color that can be painted or stained. However it does not have a wood grain. If staining maybe use Minwax Gel since that can be used on almost any surface. This is a hard rubber type material so it can be molded to fit any shape. You can stain before or after installation but before is probably best with touchup after. It can be nailed or installed with adhesive. Hope that helps.

No, it soaks into the wood and gives the wood a healthy natural finish. Extremely important for unfinished woods. For a high gloss finish, seal the wood and then apply a high gloss finish.

You will need to sand. How much is dependent on the current finish of your furniture. If it is raw wood then go ahead and sand to 150 grit and then apply your stain. If you have a finish on your furniture then you would have to remove that for the new stain to turn out properly. In that case it may be easier to paint.

I would stain the wood first. Then use the wax to give it a nice smooth finish which gives an aged patina. After applying buff buff buff!

Yes, you sure can. I have only 100 % wooden items in my house and I use this on every thing. A little goes a long way and if you rub it in with your bare hands you will love the way it not only renews your oak cabinets but will leave your hands feeling very soft.

Yes, you can. I've used it on cherry, oak, mahogany and maple - any kind of wood surface. It will restore the luster to them.

No, but there is a Black Cherry stain from Minwax that I have used for some repairs. A small brush and a test in an an out of the way spot would be a good idea. You might need a couple of tries for a nice look and remember patience.

We have used this product on soft wood and then covered with varnish or a wood sealer and it has worked fine. We have not used it and then put a stain over it. I suggest you take a scrap piece of wood and apply the wood hardener and then the stain. My concern would be the stain does not cover evenly or uniformly over the wood and the hardener

It will depend on the finish on your wood. If it is not lacquered or varnished, this oil will still do a good job cleaning but will sit 'on top (i.e. not penetrate the wood's pores. If the wood is not sealed, the oil can penetrate into the wood (which is what it needs and you want to happen) and will lighten back up as it dries and balances on the grain after you have applied it a day or so (depends on temp. and humidity). I have tested unknown wood the first time on the inside of the doors to be safe, but this is an awesome quality product and I find it works best if I apply it to a soft cloth and not directly on my antiques or tables, etc. Good luck!
