What is the point of outdoor latex stain? Compared to paint.
Most of the time I'm repainting wood that is already brown, but today again I have a little fresh wood to paint, and the latex acryllic solid stain I'm supposed to use doesn't cover well. I can still see all the knots, the brown is light brown instead of dark brown that wwill eventually be with enough coats.
But I know there are intereior paints that cover completely the first time (except when going from a dark color to a light color, which this isn't.)
This stain never peels or chips, but can't they make latex paint like that too?
It's Duron brand sold in Duron stores, a regional brand I think centered around Baltimore, and I called and asked if they had a paint in the same color, and what the guy said is that they had both transparent and opaque stains, and opaque stain was like paint. But it's not afaik.
Please explain this to me.
