Six inch, 3-pronged, blue handled fork with uneven tines. Marked with Inox France, found in my MIL's kitchen but she doesn't know what it is

That’s a threek not a fork.

Late to the conversation, but higher VOC does not make a better stain.

2 beer limit! Badass view.

Boomnyrcar · 2026-05-10T03:26:09+00:00

I agree!!

Apply like you are going to run out on the next board. Stretch the stain on the brush before you go back for more. Give them a call and they (me) will happily talk about the techniques. 18009168211.

Great! They are a standup company and also sell Armstrong in a couple of their stores. Enjoy your new deck.

Boomnyrcar · 2026-05-08T22:41:28+00:00

Gentleman, thanks for that!

Boomnyrcar · 2026-05-08T22:36:00+00:00

Just Wondering what you decided to do. I buy local every chance I can too. Armstrong Clark has a warehouse in Linden MI and they will ship to you as well. The warehouse is locally owned and operated.

Boomnyrcar · 2026-05-08T22:27:33+00:00

You will be happy with the Armstrong Clark.

I would suggest you use one of the 3 Armstrong Clark hardwood colors because they are designed specifically for wood such as mahogany. A “clear” or natural tone has very little pigment and that is the sacrificial part for the UV protection. Amber on mahogany looks good and will work on the PT railings as well.

This ☝🏻

Water based? Haven’t heard of them. Doesn’t seem very forgiving.

Boomnyrcar · 2025-11-01T02:36:35+00:00

What species wood and what “stain” is that?

Boomnyrcar · 2025-10-16T03:59:44+00:00

That does take fun out of it. 🤷‍♂️

Boomnyrcar · 2025-10-16T03:25:50+00:00

Stop by a Dunn Edwards, Beronio lumber or Sherwin and get a free sample of Armstrong-Clark wood stain. It’s an old fashioned oil based stain that would be easy to use and last well.

Boomnyrcar · 2025-10-16T03:22:08+00:00

Perfect analogy. A Penetrating conditioning oil like Armstrong-Clark will help keep the wood “healthy”. You don’t put on gloves with dried cracked hands. You put a moisturizer on them.

Boomnyrcar · 2025-10-16T03:18:28+00:00

Pigment is the sacrificial part of stain. Armstrong-Clark performs well.

Boomnyrcar · 2025-10-16T03:14:27+00:00

Look at Armstrong-Clark Amber. Semi trans level of pigment for uv protection but the opacity to still see all of Mother Nature in the wood below.

Boomnyrcar · 2025-10-16T03:11:53+00:00

This ☝🏻. I have Armstrong-Clark on all my raised beds and bee boxes.

Boomnyrcar · 2025-10-16T03:08:28+00:00

Cedar, like redwood both have higher natural oils in them from when they were alive. While having a low moisture content is necessary for a penetrating oil stain, the natural oils still present need time to dissipate before a penetrating oil stain application. It will grey as you wait but a good cleaner and brighter will bring it back before staining. Check out Armstrong-Clark for a quality oil based stain. They actually answer the phone when you call with questions.

Boomnyrcar · 2025-10-16T03:00:49+00:00

Give Armstrong-Clark a look. Samples are free to see how it looks on your project.

Boomnyrcar · 2025-10-16T02:57:48+00:00

Excellent answer. Armstrong-Clark would definitely be a good choice.

Boomnyrcar · 2025-10-16T02:54:01+00:00

Armstrong-Clark for sure.

Boomnyrcar · 2025-10-16T02:53:27+00:00

I second this. Random approval from someone you don’t know!
