Can exterior stain be used on garage doors, cedarwood

Thank you for taking the time to ask a question about Solid Exterior Wood and Sealer. In order for this stain to be effective, it must be able to adhere. The garage doors should be clean, dry and dull before applying solid stain over them. Be sure surface is free of all dirt, mildew stains, loose wood fibers and other foreign matter. Surfaces must be sound and absolutely dry. (Moisture content must be below 15% or wood must be exposed to dry weather a minimum of 3 to 5 days.) Prepare previously stained or weathered surfaces with Cabot® Problem-Solver® Wood Cleaner, Wood Brightener or Wood Strippers. On untreated weathered surfaces, scrubbing with a stiff bristle brush or sanding may be required to completely remove all loose wood fibers. The use of Cabot® Problem-Solver® Primer is recommended as a base coat to ensure maximum adhesion to reconditioned wood. Allow new masonry surfaces to cure for 30 days before coating. Extractive Bleeding: Extractive bleeding is not caused by the coating, nor is it a coating failure. To remove discoloration caused by extractive bleeding, use Cabot® Problem-Solver® Wood Brightener. Follow directions on label. On extractive-prone wood species such as red cedar and redwood, it is highly recommended that oil primer be used to help prevent extractive bleeding. Mildew: Any mildew stains present on the surface prior to application should be removed with Cabot® Problem-Solver® Wood Cleaner. Mildew stains are not caused by the coating, nor do they represent coating failure. This product contains agents that inhibit the growth of mildew on the coating’s film. Respectfully, Reggie
