OLYMPIC Waterproofing Stain provides a slight hint of color to maintain the natural beauty of new wood or restore the natural beauty of weathered wood.

Olympic Waterproofing Stain

Product has a bit of an odor but was easy to apply and penetrated very well. The overall initial appearance is Ok/ Average. 14 month weathering test showed a significant loss of color as well as a fair amount of darkening (mildew growth) in the softer grain patterns of the board.

We bought the Olympic maximum with a 6 year guarantee. We prepared our decking areas as directed for this particular product. Overall it took us a week to prepare and stain the decking. After only 9 months the stain was completely gone on all horizontal areas. This product does not work at all on areas that are horizontal, save your knees and back by avoiding this product

+ PROS: Good when it first goes on
- CONS: Does not last on horizontal areas. Only lasted 9 months even though it indicates 6 years of protection. This is a terrible product which should be removed from shelves!
