How many coats of Capture Log Stain / Cascade should I use? Why?
On the exterior, one should spray on and back brush in 2 HEAVY coats of Capture Log Stain followed by one heavy coat of Cascade sprayed on with runs brushed out. When the product is applied heavily it is able to build sufficient film thickness to protect the wood and provide several years of good performance. One coat is generally too thin, leading to less durability, which means more frequent re-staining will be necessary. On the interior, one coat either brushed or sprayed on is sufficient, followed by one to two coats of the Symphony clear coat.
