No. Nearly all stains contain a waterproofing additive, which is just as effective as that used in waterproofing sealers. Often, application of a waterproofer over a stain is counterproductive because the surface is no longer porous enough to accept the waterproofer.

What brand are you using?

IUD Divas
heavenkittykatI've had my paragard for 10 months and I'm curious what other girls here experienced during their 1 month post-insertion check up. Since I had my IUD inserted at planned parenthood, basically all they did was they looked and checked the strings with the aid of the speculum and feel the IUD strings and that's about it. I've heard some girls here had an ultrasound to confirm if the IUD is really in place.

West-End Paintball - Worcester Massachusetts Paintball Field
Paintballs generally will not stain clothing but a little common sense is required. Wash any painted clothing soon after being hit, and do not trust paint on delicate fabrics. Yes, it does. Many say it is the equivalent of a pinch or a sting. You can expect that, if you are hit, a bruise may develop.

How long does the sealer last?

Frequently Asked Questions
Again, depending on your deck's exposure to direct sunlight and precipitation elements, we recommend redoing the job anywhere from one to two seasons apart. Clear sealants are mainly water repellents that don't carry UV light protection. They have no trans-oxide pigments in their formulae that filter out damaging sun light. Colored products carry all the benefits of deck protection, including a UV light inhibitor. (General rule: the more color, the more pigment, the more UV protection)
