Re: Paint Over Solid Stain Even an oil based solid stain should be a good base for paint. You can paint right over Sikkens Rubbol with just your standard prep work. They discontinued their oil product in favor of the acrylic siding finish. It works fine right over the old oil.

Subsequently, question is, is sikkens cetol oil based? Sikkens Proluxe Cetol SRD is a one coat, oil-based, translucent exterior wood finish. Sikkens Proluxe Cetol SRD was created for use on a variety of wood surfaces including siding, rails, decks, and logs. Available in a curated palette of eight wood tones.

Secondly, how long does Sikkens stain last?

– At the 2 year mark, Sikkens PPG Proluxe Cetol SRD lost a lot of color after 24 months of full sun exposure. The stain that was left on the dock had either deteriorated away or darkened in color. – The Sikkens SRD exhibited bare spots on 30% of the flooring surface after 2 years.

How do you remove Sikkens stains?

Sikkens tech support, at 1-866-Sikkens, will bear this out, and will give you the following test to perform to verify failure of the stain. Clean a spot with a 3 to 1 solution of bleach and water to remove all mold and mildew. Rinse and allow the wood to dry thoroughly.
