Jim, I haven't personally tried the wood coating products but a good fri=

was done he could have almost bought new deck boards. He said it was th=
e consistency of peanut butter and wished he had simply redecked. This =

last week we were talking and he said that he had changed his view becau=

I am going to try flipping the existing boards. If the bottom surface i=
sn't better, I will simply redeck. Good luck and let us know how it turn=

Our house (eastern Long Island) has a 12’ x 30’ wooden deck =
on the back. It came with the house so we don’t know its age, but=
it is far from new. It will need to be replaced eventually, but we&rsq=
uo;d like to get at least a few more years out of it. Plus, our 1 year =
old granddaughter will be walking and crawling on it this summer, so I&r=
squo;d like to do what I can to both preserve the wood and her feet and =
knees. I planned on using one of the thick paint products made for this=
purpose, but most of the reviews on them are pretty lousy. Rustoleum R=
estore is probably the worst according to Amazon, Home Depot and Lowe&rs=
quo;s customers - possibly the worst I have ever seen for any product. =
Other brands like Behr, Olympic and Anvil have generally better reviews,=
but many, many customers still complain about lifting and peeling withi=
n a year of installation. I know how critical preparation is on a produ=
ct like this, but virtually all complaints seem to include a statement a=
bout having followed the directions exactly. Still, I’d rather he=
ar that from someone I trust. Does anyone here have any experience with=
one of these products? =
Thanks,
Jim
