    One important thing I learnt from this video, paint the bottom first.

    For anyone else wondering he used Valspar One-coat exterior stain and sealer - Transparent in Cedar Naturaltone. 1 qt size (946mL = 0.99 quarts). Thanks for the vid I'll pick some of this up in the morning.

    Does the valspar stain come off on your clothing after drying? I tried an oil base stain and sealer and sure enough it did rub off on my clothing a bit when I sat down even a week after applying, I even wiped off any excess like it recommends, so I had to strip the benches I made down and need to weatherproof them somehow. Just curious since valspar is water based? cant be having people's butts look like burn hickory :P thanks in advance

      You can probably salvage it. Power wash to get any residue/biologics out of the wood. Let it dry, sand it down, then seal it with something that stain the wood to your desired color. So long as it isn't rotting and falling apart you should should be good.
