what stain do you use?

I use an oil based product by Cabot.  I only lasts a couple of years in the high traffic areas.  I wish I could find a clear tint product that would last longer.

I've had a lot of luck with a product call Flood-Pro. It's sold at Dunn Edwards. Don't know if you can get it in your area, they stopped selling it in mine.

They have that brand at my local farm supply store.  I may give it a try.

I do a lot of decks, I used oil base flood-pro on a bunch of places. It really lasts a long time.
