Hi Wood Guy's I'm pretty new to this world of wood sealing, but was wondering what is a good coating to cover splintered docks on a fresh water lake. I have no problem with washing and making them look good, but wanted to cover the splinters. Any suggestions ? Thanks...Gumlogguy

Thanks Trace, Sounds like Spa n Deck is what just what I'm looking for. I'll stop by & say hi, real soon. Chris

Hey Shane, Thanks for the pix, nice work....Bakers gray? Where can I find some info on it? Would you use it on old weathered wood? Looking forward to hearing more about it. Thanks for taking the time sending the pictures. Looks like you care about the results in your work. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thank again! Chris Detter / RE/MAX

Thanks Everybody, I'll do some investigating, I really didn't want to go the sanding route, just wanted a quick fix before I recommend replacing, Y'all remember those sealers that came out years ago like Wolmans Extreme and something called Tropi-deck, I think, one thing they at least did was to allow you to coat on coat and at least cover up some of splinters & cracks and didn't look to horrible either. Back in my day I was never too keen on any sealers that were just a coating, I always have and still do like the Ready Seal, I've got it on My Dock & Decks at the lake and in Atlanta. But my wood is in good condition. Did some say that Flood has a new one out? Has anybody used it yet? Celeste, Thank you for the info about the wood convention, I try to contact you.

Thanks Beth, It was great chatting with you today, I'm glad to see you & Rod are still hanging in there. Looks like you have a popular chat room site. Also looks Like I got busted right away, Scott from Syvester Ga. must have recognized me. I wasn't trying to fool anyone, I just wanted some info and not get discovered, You'd think after 4 years people would have forgotten about me. I'll stick around for a while, I still want to learn what everyones using on old docks. Thanks Chris

Scott, Yep That's me... I have just been out of the wood business for 4 years, and wanted to get an update on what's been happening in the world of wood. I may go back into the business as an owner and let the guy's do the work. My life evolves around Real Estate now. I just didn't want everyone to know who I was. So I figured I'd be sneeky and sign up as a newbie, But you were smarter than me and busted me. LOL Lets keep it our little secret OK? Chris The Gumlogguy!!!
