STRIP If there is an existing, weathered stain that is still holding up, use DEFY Stain Stripper instead. These products help prepare your wood to receive the maximum amount of new stain and give the entire surface a consistent color. BRIGHTEN Once the wood has been cleaned or stripped, use DEFY Wood Brightener to neutralize and brighten the surface. Our brightener also opens the wood pores, so that they can receive the maximum amount of stain.
