Olympic Paints gets weather-ready

Olympic Paints and Stains has come up with a weather-ready solution, making it possible for homeowners to stain their decks in less-than-perfect weather.

Olympic Maximum Stain + Sealant in One with Weather-Ready application can be applied to damp surfaces, which means it can be applied after rain.

Additionally, the product is rain-ready in only 8-12 hours after application, making it easier to squeeze in a job during unpredictable weather.

The stain's formula also offers a wider range of application temperatures, from 35 F to 90 F. Additionally, the clear, toner and semi-transparent colors can be applied to wood after it's been cleaned or misted with water on hot days, preventing brush marks and preventing it from drying too quickly.

“With warmer days and cooler nights in the springtime, you won’t have to worry if your stain project hasn’t yet dried before the temperature drops,” said Lia Gancas, senior brand manager, Olympic Paints and Stains.

“Our Olympic Maximum product with Weather-Ready application takes the uncertainty and hesitation out of staining,” continued Gancas. “This unique product gives homeowners and DIYers the flexibility and confidence to stain before the weather is perfect, and it provides peace of mind if unexpected rain hits after staining.”

The stains possess a core resin technology, comprising an acrylic shell and oil core that promote adhesion. The oil penetrates the wood’s fibers as the acrylic builds an ultra-fine film on the surface for added water repellency and UV resistance.
