Is water beading a true sign of water repellency and durability?
Water beading and persistency of water beading is not an indicator of water repellency or the long-term durability of a coating. Our stains continue to protect the substrate long after the water beading stops. The guideline for restaining is the same as those used to determine when to repaint: color fade, cracking and peeling, excessive wear on decks, erosion, overall appearance, etc.
