The acrylic and pigmentation acts as a UV filter against the sun. Also, most water-based stains are actually an emulsion with acrylic resin and an oil based component that will help to penetrate and nourish the wood.

Can you stain a deck on top of oil paint?
You should check the label on the specific product you're planning to use. If the label states it will adhere to wood with an existing coating, then it's fine to use even over an oil-based stain. (This is because once thoroughly dried, oil-based stains behave the same as water-based stains.) Some products, however, will require the existing stain to be stripped from the wood, or to apply a primer coat over the existing finish before applying new stain.

Blot the stain from the edges and work your way in towards the middle but do not rub. Wash the t-shirt on a hot laundry cycle, between 60 and 90 degrees.

How long does it take for watercolors to dry on wood?
If the wood stain is oil based, good luck with that. Latex will dry over dry oil base, but not the reverse. Oil based paints need to penetrate the wood, which is obviously not possible with latex in the way. If the stain is water based, you should have a firm drying in about two hours, permanent in 24.
Is semitransparent stain good for decks?
Oil based semi-transparent stains provide a deeper finish that will bring out the color of the wood and will nourish the wood more than a water based alternative, however oils require more maintenance in tropical and sub tropical climates due to their lower UV durability. For maximum UV durability, use a 100% acrylic semi-transparent stain which will protect the surface of the wood and will not burn over time as quickly as an oil based stain. In addition, many of the water based stains now are a oil/water base emulsion that both nourish the wood with the small amount of ail and provide a long lasting acrylic finish. Many companies, like Ben Moore, PPG Porter/Pittsburgh and Sherwin Williams make high quality stains available at your local paint store. Try to avoid the big box brands unless price, not quality, is your main objective.
How long does it take for stain to dry completely?
