I just did a 20 year old deck that I was told needed to be redone with this. It looks great. I will be happy f I can just get a few more years out of it due to the price of lumber!
@@morningcalmlove2700 you sure can. Adhesion is always an issue with older wood. I'd say using high pressure pressure washer, although it may give a rough surface, may yield the best adhesion.
Good video. I live in the north east as well and my deck suffers from the environment and sheer inattentiveness too. I appreciate the thoroughness of your video as most videos do not do so. Thanks!
So right about the farmhouse stuff.. right out of high school a bunch of us rented a big house.. the farmer just used the cow barns etc but lived in town.. we shortly found out why.. we had to bomb the house 3 times because of the massive amounts of boxelder bugs and those Asian beetles... but man, the keg parties we threw were something I wish I could still be doing with friends today 🤭
Nice video, my friend. I've been thinking about this stuff i for a while now. If you THINK you're a tightwad on spending, well, I've got you beat. I've been known to squeeze a penny so hard, I've left Ol' Abe with a nose bleed.🥺 So about the second coat, what if I use some Kilz or a similar product along with some white exterior caulk for the first coat and then apply the Cabot Deck Resurfacer as the second coat. That would be very cost effective. The Resurfacer is around $38.00 a gallon at Lowes. Today I bought a damaged gallon of Resurfacer for $4.00 at Lowes (it had about a quart in the can).So I'm going to try it out on some old deck boards first. I bought composite deck boards for my deck upstairs. I plan on using the old decking below the new deck. With the Resurfacer it should look great. Let's just say I'll have a stationary DOUBLE DECKER!🤭😜
Two years later now. How has it held up? I might have missed it but do you live in an area with ice and snow in the winters? I live in the Midwest and we can have snow, ice and very low temps. Thanks for the video.
Sorry for not replying. You need to remove loose materials. Yes other colors are available. Don't expect it to last too long but considering the cost of replacement deck using this every couple years isn't bad.
Thank you for the interest. When it gets to be time that the boards have failed, likely the underlying framework will have deteriorated to a point where it will require replacement. A full and fast demo with complete rebuild will punch the ticket.
Sorry for the late reply. As in all painting. Prep is king. So be sure it is clean before you paint. My deck correct seemed to have better adhesion than the color product.
I do think so! It will have a bit of texture but I think it's a great product. My deck now needs reposted but it was in such poor condition to start, getting more than a couple years is great!
I appreciate the input and understand with regard to latex paints. Can you provide a video from start to finish with peeling later? Yes, the instructions do require 2 coats. Thank You for your interest.
It's a film forming coating with minimal solid stain properties in it. It's a masking product with high failure rates. It doesn't Bond without professional cleaning, and the second coat doesn't even bond to itself. It's a last resort lipstick job before early failure. DIY waste of time and money. Just like Behr Deck over and Rust-Oleum restore a deck.
Naw, it's okay for what it is. Ultimately the wood needs to be replaced. "Film forming coating with blah blah", you sound like a salesman trying to sound like a chemist. But it's fine for a kick the can scenario. Depending on the condition of the wood, you need to clean it to get to good fibers. If it didn't bond it would peel off, hasn't done that yet. 2024 now. Does need redone but damage is from use and abuse-not product failure.
Looks pretty good to me! Big improvement over what was there and it looks like the product filled cracks and covered well. It also looks like it made it a much more enjoyable surface to be on. Would love to hear an update on this after the summer.
@@alldayeveryday2180 I will do a video. Not sure why but the "deck correct" is holding up well. Good prep is the secret. I tried to fill in some screws with some putty not meant to be outside, big mistake.
I'll have to check. It was a while ago and needs to be recoated. If you do an older deck, prep is everything. Pressure washing to the point of eroding the wood to create adhesion is not a bad idea.
