    What brand of Exterior Wood Stain is best for Humid Climate
    I live south of Buffalo, NY and have sided a house with Hemlock board & batten with Cedar shakes on the peaks. Since the climate is considered cool & wet (outside of summer) I would like to know which brand of stain would be best. I have used Flood CWF in the past & was hoping to not have to recoat every couple years.

    What is appearance u want?

    I don't care for opaque or solid stains. I feel a fancy name for paint.

    I have not had any problems with MinWax penetrating stain.And they have a very good selection.

    Good luck
