Furthermore, is oil based deck stain better than water based?The better a wood decking stain penetrates the better it performs and lasts. By nature, oil based deck stains are easier to apply than water based. Oils stains are normally more natural looking than water based stains. They enhance the beauty of the wood by allowing more of the wood grain to show through.Additionally, how do you tell if Deck is oil or water based? Oil based stains are somewhat more water resistant than the water based finishes. Due to this, by sprinkling a little water onto the stained area you can tell if the stain is water or oil based. Simply wait for a minute and see if the water beads up. If it does, then you have an oil based stain. Secondly, can you put oil stain over latex stain? NOPE – you absolutely cannot use latex over oil on a deck unless its some specially formulated stain made for that purpose. Oil based stains tend to work the best on decks and hold up well in most markets.What is the longest lasting deck stain?Solid stains last the longest. Most last at least three years. One by Behr was by far the longest-lasting. It’s the Solid Color Deck, Fence & Siding Wood Stain from Home Depot.
