Dan ,the new ASQ actually takes a lot of oil just very slowly. I hadn't done much new PT in a few years but did a couple last year . On a deck that I've been taking care of a few boards were replaced that were ASQ and new. I laid down 10 thin coats and all disappeared ( 2 boards by brush). The 2 decks I did less than a year old took one gallon per 100sqft 2 coats 24 hours apart RS. What I have noticed is the wood is much smoother almost burnished which makes absorbing oil much slower. I buffed one deck to scuff up the surface a bit ? I need to do more new ASQ and look at the surface more to come up with a better conclusion but the those two replacement boards drove me nuts because the oil kept disappearing.

Dan u r correct ? U can't remove wood if it's not degrade unless u sand ! If a deck is new and up to 2 years old the amount of degradation varies greatly between the species and it's orientation to the sun , weather and mill glaze. I am involved with starting care programs for new decks and my use of Bleach evolved out of the problems I had with precarbs on newer wood and getting rid of mildew and partial degradation.

If a finish stars to break down and absorbs moisture. Mildew will grow faster and we had a ton of rain! Also if your prep was done with a pre carb there is more of a chance mildew can grow through the finish. That subject is never brought up . Pre carbs are not the best for killing mildew ?

How about a " ALL IS FORGOTTEN ROUND TABLE " or we could start the " Round Table Hall of SHAME" . Just some ideas !!!

I like Astrology ! count me in

We are so disappointed with our Snow Fall this years! We have missed out on a few Blockbusters ! Pretty Bummed .................. out

I'll take it? Was a member for many years

Sounds like you have a case of the Post Nuptial Blues ?

I think the membership should decide the point of a BB not the outside people looking in. I thought it should be a membership only when it started. Even when it did go members only there where major issues because of questions of wrong doing within the Regime at the time. The UMACC has a BB and a private side and it seems to work.

I had that sweater on yesterday for a walk along the Coast.......

John , What are doing I didn't hear you ?

I just received a few request for deck restorations from people going to a Home Show and talking to deck builders. Some of the Photos in the booths are my work. Gotta love it !!

There is no difference between DEMS and REPBs ! They both suck and it doesn't make a bit of difference who's in or out ! The Country is run by Corporations and there Lobbyist !

That ABILIFY drug really gives new grandiose abilities !!

You can get them from a Fireman supply house or a Water company supply place. I think Delco sells them?

Great story .......

Tiger's new name is Cheetah ?

I would use Tommy Water Seal if I bought from a Local store ? Wax on Wax off!

Most likely u can use it as a clear the color pigment will congeal at the bottom and won't mix up.

Anybody watching TV through the internet ? We hooked up one of our computers and it's pretty KOOL ! You can do Netflex and down load movies to watch, all old sitcoms and old movies. Still learning !

So sorry about Jake ! My dog Skipper sends her condolences.

Very nice job guy's.!

I 've done two rather extensive restorations in front of Koi ponds. With the strongest of strippers. Very nerve racking ! Company before left the site !! NO DEATHS........ Then I restored the Cedar Roof on the house and garage which are both close to the Pond. Run off from cleaning and contamination from oiling were concerns. With doing it all I said; if you want it done the Fish might DIE. No floaters........! We did a float check every AM and PM. You have to be concerned with how you cover the water also.

You might have to take it off the gutter to caulk or I can't picture your problem ? Also gutters for metal roofs and glass solarium roofs need to be bigger or adjusted to make sure they work( capture the water). The water runs down at a much faster speed and over shoots the gutter on these type of roofs. I've seen this many times .
