A:  Thank you for reaching out, Matt! When applying Rust-Oleum Wolman F&P Finish and Preservative to new wood, it is best to let it weather. With Cedar or Redwood, “mill glaze” on the surface is a common condition. Use either Rust-Oleum Wolman DeckBrite powder concentrate or Deck & Fence Brightener liquid concentrate according to label directions, then conduct a Splash Test. If absorption is not improved, allow the wood to dry a minimum of 30 days in temperate weather (70°F and 50% RH), longer in cooler or more humid conditions. Test for absorption again before applying this product by performing a Splash Test again. A Splash Test is done by splashing water in several different areas on the surface to ensure the water readily absorbs into the wood. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Wolman-1-lb-DeckBrite-Wood-Cleaner-and-Coating-Prep-6-Pack-16001/204744697 - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3

A:  I didn't see the need for most of what she said. Way over complicated. Buy a moisture meter and if 12% or less stain as long as you have 48 hours until it rains, stain it.

A:  Thanks for reaching out. Wolman F&P Golden Pine Wood Finish & Preservative is a deep penetrating transparent oil base stain, it is not pine, it is golden pine. The only way to have the new section of fence match the previous fence, is to use the exact same stain that was used on the original fence. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 6.

A:  Great question, Jeff! When applying Rust-Oleum Wolman F&P Finish and Preservative to new wood, the surface may need to be treated with a brightener product and a splash test must be performed. Water must readily absorb into the surface. If using a wood brightener does not help improve water absorption, then the wood must be allowed to dry a minimum of 30 days in temperate weather (70 °F and 50% relative humidity), longer in cooler or more humid conditions. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3

A:  Thanks for reaching out. Wolman F&P Wood Finish & Preservative Stain is a stain, it cannot be applied over another stain. This deep-penetrating, transparent oil base stain brings out wood’s natural grain while also providing long-term water, UV and mold/mildew protection. F&P can only be applied to bare wood, conduct a splash test on bare wood to confirm water absorption before applying this product. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 6

A:  Happy to clear things up! Both the Rust-Oleum Wolman F&P Wood Finish and Stain and the Wolman RainCoat Sealers are intended for use on bare wood surfaces. They cannot be used together, as one will prevent the other from properly adhering to the surface. The F&P will impart a slight color and will also provide long-term water, UV and mold/mildew protection. The RainCoat sealers are clear finishes that provide superior water repellency with a hydrophobic finish while also offering a mildew resistant coating. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3
