Ken, My comments are directed to oils in general. See this article... Going, going, gone? Environmental restrictions are making oil-based paints and stains scarce in some areas | Building Products | Find Articles at BNET.com Good luck with Woodzotic. Hope it's a success for you. Beth

Ok Ken, Now I am going to be straight with you on all the points because you dared to ask for an opinion. Muuaaahahahahahaha:sinister: The music is kinda what you would expect in an action movie and in the commercial there is no real action, all snapshots with effects to move in and out of them and so on. Suggestion: use some music that caters to your name "woodzotic" Something tropical and more festive. The deck is where people have fun and your music needs to set that mood for the prospective buyer which I understand is targeted towards the homeowner. ??? Saw the lady in a blue dress in a web ad and wonder if you have the rights to use it in yours...just a legal question for your consideration. The shot with the guy in flip flops is not a good one in my opinion just because it shows someone applying it without adequate PPE. This comes from a liability standpoint. Your call. Overall, you show a very impressive slide show but not everyones deck is that easy to make look that good. Truth in advertising could bite you in the essence of someone looking at those pictures and having an expectation set for the best possible look every time and on every deck. That was my impression. Puts some of the less desirable decks (not the obviously crappy ones) in there as well to show some other results which help to enforce the point "Results may vary depending upon age, condition, species and previously existing conditions of the wood". Overall, you are on your way to a nice commercial and I wish you well in your endeavors. Rod!~

Hey Ken, Will this work? Rack'Em Manufacturing Inc. Rod!~

Sorry to make a correction but that was Neal Pert-Drummer-lyrics writer-Rush. Still agree with it though as it is those choices that make us who we are. Rod!~

Boy isn't that the truth! Beth :cup:

Congratulations! She's a doll! Beth

Ken, We learned this in a meeting recently, which products are what. As I understood it the wiping stain and WT are the same thing. The issues Jim has are the same issues others have had last year which are some of the same issues everyone has with just about any oil these days, which is that the performance of oils (alkyds specifically) is not what it used to be. If you add the other brand specific issues (that were very very real) to the mix, well, it is what it is. Beth :cup: it's grrreat! :cup:

I didn't get that feeling from the music, but then I don't watch those movies..... Maybe some new age or smooth jazz? Something that goes with say....sitting on an ipe deck with a glass of wine at sunset? Beth

I am hearing from lenders/mortgage folks that the people who bought a few years back with ARMs were house poor from the get go, no furniture, and the deck furniture is what wash in the house. These same folks are losing their homes. Very sad. Credit card debt is through the roof for many people, which is debt most people will carry around for the majority of their lives. Home improvement companies are competing for the same dollar. This means that you are competing with the flooring companies, interior painters, bathroom re-modelers, etc since disposable income has dropped, and people are making decisions and getting fewer things done. Not trying to be negative, not at all. I just think it is better to have your eyes open, and plan with contingencies so you WILL survive. Beth :cup:

There are different ones you can buy (pump) - you can get "metal", or "plastic". No matter which you get, keep a rebuild kit on hand because they all need maintenance from time to time. Beth

Bump!! I started this thread almost a year ago when I saw the indicators and felt that further discussion may provide some more insight. Last August we saw a dramatic decline compared with previous years when we were booked clear into the end of September. We thought the market was soft then...I think it is absolutely soggy now. Rod!~

That pretty much sums it up! Beth

A deckster or decker should work for that purpose. The viscosity should be low enough. Beth
