Our Website → Doc applies Deck Correct to the old wood deck / dock. The wood id old, cracked, rotting, and needs to be replaced. However using the Deck Correct it saves the dock for a good year or two and greatly improves the look.
Friend of mine bought a house with a ~30 year old deck. Structurally sound but showing its age. We spent a lot of time pressure washing, sanding, and otherwise prepping it. We applied a single coat of Deck Correct to the deck. 2+ years later, it's holding up great! I'm genuinely surprised and impressed with it. They'll easily get many more years of use out of that deck. We're actually adding a 2nd coat later this year just to help prolong the life of the finish, but it still looks great even with just 1 coat.
I’ve used Restore deck coating. Same concept. Put old deck boards in my utility trailer and painted them with it and their still doing good 8 plus years later. Deck boards were older than that.
Great product. Imused it several years ago and used a paint sprayer. No runs or drips and it filled in all the cracks. Using a sprayer requires more product, but it worked really well.
They sell specific rollers for that type of product. It has more open nap to it. Applies a thicker coat. I use a brush on my deck, but it’s much smaller.
No disrespect, but this is a 2 COAT product. That is very clearly spelled out. That said great video, helped me get my deck done with no issues! Very satisfied with this...
Man I just partially finished my deck right now, you tell no lies sir. This stuff is thick and it fills in all the cracks, I had to use a brush like that on pole, I swear it took me 8 hours with both coats...I needed double what I thought an went back to buy a total of 5 gallons, should have just bought the big bucket.... Lessons learned. 😅
I use Messmer’s UV plus Mission Oak which looks more like a walnut color. If Cabot has a similar walnut color I may have to try Cabot deck correct stain on the next go round.
It's a workout! I wanted the roller to work, but we went through the can so fast with roller and then brushing cracks. I'd also hit it in the evening, take a temp gun and wait for the deck to drop into the 80's, so that stain has nearly 16 hrs before it gets hit with full sun and can dry slowly and really sink into those boards or you will be back scraping in a couple yrs. The former owners did 1 coat about 2 yrs ago of some solid stain and had nearly all cracked off. Take the time, hit the weather right, do all the prep and instructions or you will be back doing it again. If we did screw up, I don't care how much composite boards cost, thats happening.
Doc its called Lipstick on a Pig ! Only problem in cold climate where I live in upstate Finger Lakes NY I have to put a new coating and touch up main deck every year.
Is this similar to the Behr Deckover? I used that on mine and a few years later many of the planks had rotted out and I had to pull them out and replace them. Over the last several months I have been killing myself trying to get as much as I can of it off my deck but it has been a slow hard process. I am planning to just use a sold stain this time and see what happens. My deck is 27 years old so probably only has a few years left no matter what I do.
Give Brian a pre-roll, have them take a brush and start at the end of the dock and fill all those cracks Have him take wood putty and fill the missing chunks out of the deck wood and then paint it. I don't see any value in that really thick Cabot brush. Don't you think just a regular Big brush would do?. Les paint in the brush and more paint on the deck
