Went and got another load of boards all went well just like the last batch until I ran out of stain, went to Home depot and got another gallon sat in truck for a few days temps were around 40 opened the gallon and started to use the stain and the stain appeared to be thicker then the last gallon so much that it takes alot more elbow grease to wipe it down, the next morning it dried just fine the color is matched perfectly so I just dont understand why the stain is thicker and a little more difficult to work with?

ICC Member	# Posted: 17 Oct 2018 08:29pm Reply Quoting: fiftyfifty Oil or water based? Good question. I really dislike water based stains as the ones I have used all seem to require more energy to apply and to wipe down than oil based stains. Was the first one oil and the second water based? Seems to me I have seen the same colrs available in both types.
