Thanks Paul! :groovy: You are most welcome. Please don't hesitate to ask if there is anything else I can do for you. Beth :groovy2:

Hi Jesse, You are VERY welcome! Let us know how that deck turns out, and if we can offer any help while you are using the product, we're here for you. Just call. When you get a chance give me a call about PWNA (use the toll free number). I would be glad to answer questions and talk to you about the organization and what it has to offer. Beth :groovy3:

Yes. You could. Thanks Chad! :)

Weight. All of Extreme Solutions powdered products should be measured by weight or you will not get the correct results. Beth

There are stain pads that are used as applicators for solid stains & sealants,a nd there are also brushes. When you go over an application that has been sprayed, it's just called back padding or back brushing, because you are going over the surface again. If you go over it with additional product, it may also be referred to as a wet-on-wet application, or 2 wet coat system. Beth

A pump up is a good place to start, make sure you have either a china bristled brush or a stain pad to back brush or back pad with. If the product is too thick you can't spray it with a pump up - what product is it... there are some that must be applied by brush. Beth :groovy3:

Now THAT was GOOD! :groovy:

Extreme Solutions will be releasing Wood Tux in a Clear in about a month. It's going to be an "amber" clear, not a "water" clear. No pigments - so it is a clear, but resins do a a tint. Without the pigment in any product you do have less UV protection, however you still have some. Try selling the customer on a gold color. It will end up alot closer to the wet wood look.

The owners of this site do not suggest nor do we recommend mixing chemicals together which are known to combust. We advise against it. ;)

Just a heads up, defurring pads are in and shipping TODAY. Thanks to everyone for their incredible patience as we got our first order in. We have a great stock of these. Beth & Rod

Depends on the condition of the board. Old splintered boards will be an issue, as you will be more likely to tear pads. Also depends on how fuzzy the deck is. I have reused pads many times, and I have also gone through multiple pads per deck. (I love finishing the deck and sealing it - fun stuff!) Also depends on how you use the Makita. I like it slightly slower (in part becuse it is easier for me to control the Makita) and how hard I press on the surface depends on that strip job. A lighter touch is all you need for light fuzzing. Wood that had a rough time of it from a multi layer strip job will need a bit more TLC, and even sanding in places at times as well. To me it's something you develop an eye for as you go. Word of advice - wear a dust mask - save your respiratory system. Dust, especially if from CCA lumber is a health risk. Beth :groovy: p.s. I'll see waht I can do about getting them with a velcro backing. Due to the fiberous nature I am uncertain if it can be done, but one can always ask. :groovy2:

Thanks Brian, I'm pretty sure I can help Gavin. ;) Beth :groovy3:

On the Makita - YES :) they are wonderful. The pads are 9" with a 3/4" arbor hole, and can be used on a variable sander. Won't work on velcro backed orbitals. You need a sander that has an arbor hole to hold the pad in place. Brian, Hang Time is due in the warehouse soon. I'll keep you posted. ;)

Bryan, Can you post a pic? It would help alot. Also if the owner knows what's on it, it would sure help us help you out. Beth

The transcripts are inthe forums called The Library. I think there are a couple I have not put in there yet, but there are several listed. Beth

You'll love it Bryan. You made a great choice. ;)

There is a window company in our area that does it - hand washing houses - no joke, but then neither is their price tag. Beth

watch out for splinters.....;)

No one has them yet because they are not in yet. As soon as they arrive I'll slap lables on them and out they GO.... :groovy:

Jim... You made Henry blush! ;)

Ours are here. :groovy3:

The aluminum really is the top of the line, but if you are just starting out and can't afford it the new fiberglass pole is supposed to be really good. We carry both on the store.

Jim - Are you talking hardest to find? I ask because Redwood is not a hardwood. It's a softwood. Douglas Fir is also a softwood, but varies in weight and strength and may be stronger if it is a more dense cut. Beth
