Cedartone 501: listed as Transparent on can and semi on website. Clearly is semi on application. Went on powerwashed ISYP deck that had been previously stained with transparent oil-base brands. Two coats by brush. It was slow to fully cure (3-4 days to walk on, 2 weeks with sun to not be slightly tacky. Color is slightly brownish red as other sites have reported. Doesn't show much wear, water still beads well, vastly superior to all prior oil base stains Tested it on vertical fence surfaces and lower cedar lath, still looks good at 6 years. horizontal surfaces now at 1 year.

How odd other people have had problems with this. I have two huge, playful Golden Retrievers who scratch the deck, plus I shovel snow off the deck often. The only problem I have is scratches from the dogs and shovels. I do a light pressure washing twice a year then paint the entire deck in two hours. It looks great and the light color is cool on my bare feet even on the hottest days. I've tried other products and ended up sanding them off. This product works great. Just make VERY sure the surface is clean and dry before painting and for two days after. Then don't walk on it for 4 days after painting.

I applied this product as directed in the summer of 2010. In the summer of 2011, I had to reapply in the areas exposed to sun, rain, etc.; and in traffic areas, because it was starting to peel. This summer, even where I reapplied last year, it has peeled up and looks awful. It doesn't appear to have penetrated the wood at all. So much for latex-based stains. CR has never steered me wrong before, but they're way off base on this one.
