Currently semi transparent colors of interest to me are Manor Brown
MWDST20, Mahogany MWDST4 or Oxford Brown MWDST5 (They also have the
Solid colors, MWDS in the same numbers) I would be interested in
determining if you are using a solid color or transparent, especially
because of your statements about washing, bleaching, coverage, etc. I
guess we could figure it out from a couple of your numbers.
Also, how often are your restaining?

Beats me. Color left on the room runs from none to a deep brown, with
some dirt and some light mold. It is the deeper brown I am looking
for

To us, it's a room, bevause it was a family room addition. But I am
talking about the outside

Thanks for your input

Sorry I haven't gotten back to you yet. My basement is sort of closed
off so the visiting dog won't go down there, and I keep forgetting.
Are you about to start painting or do I have a few days?

It's a summer project; take all of the time you want. I fully
understand the "visiting dog" aspect; We just got rid of my son's
alpha dog who was at it full time with my alpha dog. Besides, with
the crazy weather, we may wind up with snow yet - and I live in the
tidewater of VA.
Thanks for the help - in advance

OK, it took me 4 trips to the basement to remember I was supposed to
do this, and on the 4th trip, I only remembered at the top of the
stairs. Took one more trip to remember at the bottom of the stairs.

Solid I guess. I used, as described, Dron MaxWood siding and trim
stain, Mahogany exterior solid color 100% acrylic formula, 28-311 11.

I haven't looked at even older cans, but I'm pretty sure they were the
same, although not called Maxwood, which didn't exist then.

Do you know what the difference is between transparent and solid?
Solid is a lot like paint, but there is no grain in t111, so I'm not
sure what real stain would do to it.

In anoher thread, someone called t111 plywood. IIRC, it's a good
product, but it has no plies and it's not really wood, any more than
Steak'ums are really meat. Am I wrong? I'm no pro and don't even
remember things all that well, and I coudl well be wrong.

My numbers are nothing like yours. I bought the paint several years
ago, when I did the house.

>Also, how often are your restaining?

I'm embarrassed to say this but I guess the first time, the house was
almost 18 years old. Two pieces of T111 were so bad they cracked and
I had to replace them. The chain that sold the style I had had gone
out of business, and Home Depot sold thicker material but with greater
distance between the stripes. Fortunately, Lowes opened a year or so
before I did this and I could get the matching t111 there. Because I
don't have enough ladders, I was lucky that I was doing my roof soon
after painting the house, and the roofer agreed to put the two pieces
on for ?? 100 dollars, but ended up charging me nothing, I guess
because I wasn't a pain in the butt while he was working. And because
I got him the town house next door too, although I got a couple
hundreed dollars off the total price for his doing two at the same
time.

And some of the panelling that I didnt' replace is such that the
painting only got the first layer, and left unpainted stuff that was
further back. I'm not talking about plies, which they are not. Just
separation. I'm only 60 but I have symptoms and have to see the
doctor. If I have more than 15 more years to live, I'll have to do
something about the siding. Otherwise, I guess I won't. OTOH, I'll
have plenty of money I think if I don't too much time to live, so I'll
just have it fixed right.

BTW, you mentioned cedar color at the start, and my n'hood is called
the Cedars, for no apparent reason. There are no cedars growing
around here afaict, and none of the decor is done in cedar.
