Clear finish vs Natural finish
Clears with no pigmentation do not offer UV protection or color retention. Natural color has a hint of brown tint that contains Transparent Iron Oxide pigments which absorb UV radiation while allowing visible light to pass through. This results in a finish that highlights the natural beauty of the wood while still protecting it.

- Before application, clean the surface with Wood & Deck Cleaner or sand to a new surface.
While UV Plus for Hardwood Decks bead water
- This means that waxes are added for the appearance of water beading. These additives do not last very long and are not good permanent water repellents, in addition to this they interfere with adhesion should you decide to paint over the stain. That’s why we don’t use them in our products.
- Messmer’s UV Plus for Hardwoods Decks fills the pores of the wood, providing excellent water repellency that will last.
Wait 24-48 hours if rain is expected
- Hardwood Decks needs at least 24-48 hours to dry in good conditions before staining.
- Rain can force the stain up out of the pores of the wood, leaving a blotchy appearance.
Messmer’s UV Plus for Hardwood Decks suitable for vertical surfaces
- Excellent choice for almost any exterior hardwood surface, including vertical surfaces.

Should I put multiple coats of Messmer’s Hardwoods stain
- No. The only way to get a shiny surface on the wood is by using a multiple coat, film forming finish. We don’t recommend clear film forming finishes on decks because they are slippery when wet, they will eventually peel, and they are difficult to maintain and recoat. When properly applied, a penetrating finish like UV Plus for Hardwood Decks will not be shiny, it will have a natural, matte look.
