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.
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!
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.
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.
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.

Thoroughly appreciate the detail and time you spent on the editing. 😎
Your video was most helpful to us. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.

I want to do a follow up but I also want to clean the deck before I do. 2 dogs and a dirt/gravel driveway at a 100 year old farmstead.
that's a very detailed video to share important bits! thank you!
thank you for the video. We are just starting our deck which is maybe 3x the size of yours for all the same reasons we will use Deck Correct too.

Looks Great! Trying to decide between Cabot or Behr. Leaning toward the Cabot now. Thanks for the video.
Prep is the key to good adhesion.
@@spudth what did you prep with?
Cabot holds up better in frigid weather.
@@spudth hey man how are you doing? I was wondering what did you use to prep it?
I only used an electric pressure washer. Probably a little acid might help. I'm not a painter. Trying to get to a 1 year later video.
Do you need to strip previous paint before applying? Also, does it come in other colors?
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.
Do you think the deck correct would be a better choice for the railing? Despite cost. My railing is in quite rough shape as well
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!
You’re cracking me up with your voice sped up. 😂😂
Well, I know I talk slowly, thats the best I could do to be "normal" haha
How did it do so far? We are about to re do our deck
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.
Can you put Deck Correct over scrapped and sanded paint?
I absolutely would. It's time for me to repaint my deck. It may seem a bit soon but considering I started with an aged deck, I'm quite happy.
Great video? How is it holding up? 🇺🇸
Great
Is there a granular texture or is it pretty smooth?
Granular I've heard on other videos
Wait till you have to replace the boards. Trying to un screw the screws is going to be tough!
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.
Lol we talk even faster than that in nz. Was still to slow when speed up
What color is that?
I think they called it redwood.
I couldn't make it more than 2 minutes with that annoying speed up.
You do know a paint brush has two sides. You buttering that deck like you are putting icing on a cake. Maybe that is the way Martians paint. 👽
Are you saying I'm out of this world? Thanks!
Over applying this product is going to cause it to peel within a couple months LOL
As per the manufacture you need to apply 2 coats...
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.
Actually, the Behr product is prone to peeling, especially in frigid climates.
@@flygirlfly
All water based stains will fail eventually.. decks need oil based coatings.
It's a film forming coating with minimal solid stain properties in it.
It's a masking product with high failure rates.

Good video, horrible looking product but good video. Thank you
In the spring I'll do a video showing how it fared this winter. Had a few single digit nights so far.
