Jim, I haven't personally tried the wood coating products but a good fri=
end who has lots of experience and who I trust used it and was not the l=
east bit pleased after the task.  He said he had to do multiple coats an=
d the coverage wasn't even close to what was advertised. By the time he =
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 =
was several years ago, right as these types of products came out.  Just =
last week we were talking and he said that he had changed his view becau=
se the product was still holding up very nicely and that he thought that=
 they have refined their formulation to make application a little easier=
. I too am looking at getting a little more time out of a deck, I think =
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&rsquo; x 30&rsquo; wooden deck =
on the back.  It came with the house so we don&rsquo;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&rsquo;d rather he=
ar that from someone I trust.  Does anyone here have any experience with=
 one of these products? =


Thanks,

Jim
