You need to monitor two elements: <strong>moisture and temperature<\/strong>. And you must consider them in both the ambient air and the wood.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the four elements to check:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The moisture content in the wood<\/li>\n<li>The relative humidity of the air<\/li>\n<li>The air temperature<\/li>\n<li>The wood surface temperature<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If the wood contains <strong>too much moisture, the stain or protector won&#8217;t be able to penetrate properly<\/strong>. The finish then risks poor adhesion and peeling much faster.<\/p>\n<p>Air humidity can also complicate things. When the <strong>relative humidity is high<\/strong>\u2014say around 70% or more\u2014and the <strong>temperature is below 10\u00b0C,<\/strong> the stain <strong>can take an enormous amount of time to dry<\/strong>. In some cases, drying can stretch over several days.<\/p>\n<p>And <strong>during all that time, your stain remains vulnerable<\/strong>. Rain, morning dew, pollen, dust, or simply the little one&#8217;s ball can ruin a finish that hasn&#8217;t had time to dry properly yet.<\/p>\n<h3> The wood temperature is just as important as the air temperature<\/h3>\n<p>For staining your deck, we generally aim for a  <strong>temperature between 10 and 25\u00b0C<\/strong>. But beware: looking only at the temperature displayed on your outdoor thermometer is not enough.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wood does not warm up as quickly as air<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine a beautiful May morning. It&#8217;s 10:00 AM and the outside temperature has just reached 10\u00b0C. However, it was 5\u00b0C during the night. <strong>Even if the air is now warm enough, your deck is probably still too cold<\/strong> to receive its stain.<\/p>\n<p>You may sometimes need to <strong>wait a few hours <\/strong>for the wood surface to also reach the minimum recommended temperature.<\/p>\n<p>This is why we like to apply a precautionary principle: wait until it is at least <strong>10\u00b0C day and night<\/strong> before starting the work. This reduces risks and gives you a much better chance of achieving a durable finish.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve put together a table summarizing everything you need to watch out for regarding temperature and moisture:[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221;][vc_raw_html css=&#8221;&#8221;]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[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221;

Because these products <strong>penetrate less easily when the wood contains too much moisture<\/strong>. And in the case of more film-forming systems, the problem can go even further: they <strong>form a film on the surface<\/strong> of the wood and <strong>prevent trapped moisture from escaping<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>This is therefore an important element to consider in the spring. If your wood is <strong>still wet after the snow melts<\/strong> or a particularly rainy period, you may need to <strong>wait before applying this type of finish.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So if you usually protect your deck with a <strong>water-based semi-transparent stain<\/strong>, a <strong>solid stain<\/strong>, or a <strong>film-forming oil stain<\/strong>, it&#8217;s better to <strong>wait until later<\/strong> in the season.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;5%&#8221; constrain_group_1=&#8221;yes&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;5%&#8221; top_padding_phone=&#8221;10%&#8221; bottom_padding_phone=&#8221;25%&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_position=&#8221;default&#8221; row_position_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; row_position_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; pointer_events=&#8221;all&#8221;][vc_column_inner column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; flex_gap_desktop=&#8221;10px&#8221; column_element_direction_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; desktop_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_backdrop_filter=&#8221;none&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]\n<h2>Start your project now!<\/h2>\n<p>You&#8217;ll find all the products you need directly on our website.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Get a moisture meter and calculate the moisture level in your wood.<\/li>\n<li>Choose a stain or oil based on the moisture level in your wood.\n<ul>\n<li>Up to 25% moisture: <a href=\"https:\/\/colobar.ca\/en\/produits\/exterior-stain\/sansin-dec-wood-deck-stain\/\">Sansin Dec<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Up to 15% moisture: <a href=\"https:\/\/colobar.ca\/en\/huile-de-protection-pour-bois-exterieur-alis-de-livos\/\">Alis<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/colobar.ca\/en\/produits\/magasinez-par-projet\/deck\/ligna-exteria-exterior-deck-oil\/\">Ext\u00e9ria<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/colobar.ca\/en\/produits\/wood-treatment\/osmo-wood-deck-oil\/\">Osmo<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Calculate the dimensions of the surface you want to stain to know how much stain you will need.\n<ul>\n<li>One gallon of <a href=\"https:\/\/colobar.ca\/en\/produits\/exterior-stain\/sansin-dec-wood-deck-stain\/\">Sansin Dec<\/a> covers between 250 and 300 sq. ft.

My deck looks dry on the surface: can I start staining it?&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]Not necessarily. Wood can look perfectly dry on the surface while still containing a lot of moisture inside. This is particularly common after snowmelt or a long period of rain. When in doubt, use a moisture meter to measure the wood&#8217;s moisture content rather than relying solely on its appearance.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=&#8221;Default&#8221; heading_tag=&#8221;h4&#8243; heading_tag_functionality=&#8221;default&#8221; title=&#8221;Q. How long should I wait after rain before staining my deck?&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]There is no universal number of days. Drying time depends notably on the amount of rain received, sunlight, temperature, and wood species. A deck located in the shade can take much longer to dry than a deck exposed to the sun. Again, the actual moisture content of the wood is much more reliable than the number of days since the last shower.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=&#8221;Accent-Color&#8221; heading_tag=&#8221;h4&#8243; heading_tag_functionality=&#8221;default&#8221; title=&#8221;Q. Can I start my work in the morning if it&#039;s already warm enough?&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]Beware: the air temperature and the deck temperature are not always the same. After a cold night, the wood can stay below the recommended temperature for several hours, even if the outdoor thermometer already shows 10\u00b0C. In the spring, it&#8217;s often better to wait until the surface has had time to warm up before starting application.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=&#8221;Default&#8221; heading_tag=&#8221;h4&#8243; heading_tag_functionality=&#8221;default&#8221; title=&#8221;Q. Can I stain new wood in the first spring?&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]It mostly depends on the type of wood and the product you want to apply. New wood can contain a lot of moisture, especially if it was recently installed or if it&#8217;s pressure-treated wood.<\/p>\n<p>Certain stains, like Sansin DEC, tolerate a higher moisture content and can allow the wood to be treated sooner. Other systems, notably many oils and more film-forming stains, require much drier wood.<\/p>\n<p>Before deciding to start, check the wood&#8217;s moisture content and consult the requirements of the product you&#8217;ve chosen.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=&#8221;Default&#8221; heading_tag=&#8221;h4&#8243; heading_tag_functionality=&#8221;default&#8221; title=&#8221;Q. What happens if the temperature drops below the recommended limit during the night?&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]This is a particularly important situation in the spring. Even if conditions are good during the day, a significant drop in temperature during drying can slow down the stain&#8217;s hardening and compromise its performance. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s better to consult the recommendations for your chosen product and avoid planning work just before a period of very cold nights.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=&#8221;Default&#8221; heading_tag=&#8221;h4&#8243; heading_tag_functionality=&#8221;default&#8221; title=&#8221;Q. Can I just choose a stain that is more moisture-tolerant to start earlier?&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]Yes, some products are indeed more tolerant of wood moisture than others. But beware: this doesn&#8217;t mean you can apply the stain to a soaking wet deck. A stain designed to better penetrate wet wood simply offers a greater margin of error. The wood must still be dry enough and the surface must be in good condition to achieve a durable finish.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][\/toggles][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_content&#8221;
