I power washed the back deck today. Now I have to decide what to use on it.
I have used Super deck, (it sucks). It acts like a top coat that doesnt soak in.
I have used Penofin years ago at the old house, dont remember how good it is or isnt.
Last year after cleaning my current back deck I rolled Minwax wood stain on it and then 2 days later I used Thompsons clear, worked okay but...the minwax stain didnt permenantly color the deck.
--Now for other ideas, A friend of mine that had a deck power washing business said that a customer of his applied motor oil to the top boards, yep motor oil. (I almost want to take a small section and try it) I assume this is new 30 weight or something. Maybe 80w90? Sounds goofy doesnt it. What about used transfluid out of a tractor? Gives a redwood look?. Motor oil is cheaper then $25/gallon deck stain. I dont like deck paint, my inlaws used deck paint 10 years ago and last year me and the BIL cut up that deck and put it in the dumpster, Deck was built in 1991.
If any of you guys have a deck stain idea then rifle it off on here. Or a product that you have had success with.
