Staining western red cedar. After priming western red cedar siding, shingles, and shakes, you can stain the woodâs surface. A stain protects the cedar from weathering, discoloration, and moisture damage. Walk into any home do-it-yourself paint and supply store and youâre bound to be inundated with finish-stains.
For the best results you should stain cedar, redwood, exotic hardwoods, and clear pressure treated decks soon as possible after the deck is built and every Spring afterwards. However green treated pressure treated wood should be allowed to dry out for 30-90 days before applying the first stain. Always make sure the deck is clean and dry before you begin staining. Wait at least 24 hours after washing your deck to apply stain. Also try to avoid staining your deck right before it rains. Most stains require at least 2-3 hours for drying.
