valspar semi-transparent

[valspar semi-transparent]

Anybody have any experience using or more importantly removing this product?? Will I be able to remove this product from a fence that was done about 5 years ago. The lady tells me it is a semi-transparent but it looks alot like a solid that is 5 years worn?? This is this first time I have ever heard of this product so I have no clue if I want to even tackle this. Any insight would be helpful. Sorry no pics.

Thanks,

Dave

[linseed oil and paint thinner]

The office got a call from a gentleman wanting a bid to clean and seal his deck. He said he has been treating it with linseed oil and paint thinnner for the last 3 years. We use TWP and I was wondering how the deck would look and take the TWP after cleaning and neutralization. Bottom line, never had a project that has been treated like this and don`t know. I told him I would have to do some research and get back to him. Any comments are helpful.

Thanks,

Dave

Don`t think I have an opinion yet. Just have seen them at some home shows a little. Never seen any of them out working but who knows. Just looks and sounds to me like it petrifys the wood and basically makes it one solid mass.

We are almost neighbors, we usually come up every year for the College WS in Omaha. Love it up there. Great baseball, Great city.

Have a good year everyone.

Anybody ever heard of Sealwize or Sealmax or Sealmaster?? From what I gather the pretty much petrify(sp?) the wood. Is that right or am I missing something. We went to the home show and one of them said a 7 year guarantee and one other I heard said like 25 years. Anybody????
