John T, If this video can bring civility to the members of the orgs and the orgs themselves, I am all in favor of hefting a glass of beer at Matt, Mary and Jack's RT in Albany. The first round is on me. Cheers, Jake

I received a reply through twitter or some other means and lost the contact. Please try a PM or Oil Based coatings for Wood, Sealant & Stain: Restore and Protect - Armstrong-Clark Co.. Many thanks, Jake

John T, Who ever wrote the email had obviously read all of the org bashing in one sitting and was transported to an elevated level. I like his stuff! If you find out who is the author, please forward his contact information and I will sign him up with a six figure salary to grow the Armstrong Clark Co. Twitless in Calif, Jake

James can bring direction to all of us lost soles at the Albany Seminar during his earthy wood restoration presentation seminar with Rabi Shankar, resurrected from the grave, playing background music. Auuhhuumm, Jake

Charlie, Thank you for starting this post and showing your excellent work. I am proud to have you as a user of our stains. Proud also knowing that you worked your way through 4 years of college by doing wood restoration and now making wood restoration your profession. I also know that much of your knowledge has come from trial and error and quality advice from BB such as TGS. Without a doubt you are now a serious contributor on BB's and your advice to all will be heeded by home owners and prospective woodies for years to come. TGS is a terrific place for our community and the general public and mindless bickering as recently found concerning the orgs should stop or be behind the scenes. Charlie, you are becoming a true leader in our industry and please keep up the great work. Many thanks, Jake

Hey Diamond Jim, Know where I can get the "sparkles" to add to our stain? I love a new trend!?! Jake

Happy Birthday Allison!!! See you at Matt and Jack's.

Hey Greg, Did you hear that SW bought Comax, a Mexican company. Comax owns Super Deck. Should be interesting. Jake

Perhaps if you used Armstrong, you would have sealed all 400 decks!?! Anonymous

I have 23 years making stains and 43 years in the coatings business. I have learned much but at my advanced age the most important thing to try and remember is prune juice is not an after dinner cocktail!?! Seriously though, the amount of education that I have received by reading the boards and by meeting most of you has increased my understanding of wood care immensely. Many thanks, Jake

Merry Christmas one and all!

Now I understand why Shane does so many fences in Texas!?!

Somebody best call the fire department!

Hello All, Thank you all for participating in the contest. Congratulations to Charlie and Shane for some really nice work. Please remember Scott and me when you use the newly won stain providing substantially improved profit margins! Hah! Thank you all again, Jake

I spoke with Rick Petry in NJ today and his two cases of Hinnie survived the storm. Minus one tree but said all is well. Carlos, myself and many others are truly hoping you all land nicely on your feet!!!! Jake

Thank you all for submitting great deck photos! Jake

Charlie, I agree with Jim. Amber would look stunning. Jake

Charlie nailed it!!!!!!!! Jake

Thank you Scott and Way to go Steven, This is a fun thread that shows fellow wood restoration professionals the work that we are doing across the United States. Small and medium size businesses that have built and are building their own successful stories. This thread will perhaps encourage homeowners to hire professionals to have us make their wood sing. Homeowners are doing more and more research, and are landing on The Grime Scene, so make sure you have a link to your company's website with your entries. May you all have greater success than Rick Petry's chicken coup from last year's contest!?! Good luck to all and let the photos fly, Jake Armstrong Clark Co. Oil Based coatings for Wood, Sealant & Stain: Restore and Protect - Armstrong-Clark Co.

Diamond Jim, My only thought is for the home owner to go back to the deck builder and ask them to preserve their work. I would walk on this shipwreck. Jake

More prayers sent from Nor Cal. Jake

Hello Tom, Great looking job. If you put two coats on the deck, you won't be looking at redoing in 2013. Thank you for using our stain, Jake

John, Wood needs to breath. Any thoughts on that? Jake

Hey Guys, We brought you the hoola hoop, skate board and some damn fine wine. Now we have a voc compliant oil based stain that has been on the market for 12 years (this is not an ad Beth, but meant to help). Feel free to call with questions. Jake Clark, Pres. 1 209 541 6579 cell. We are sending LA to NJ so Rick can deal with the tree huggers!?!

Hey Rick, With your restoration skills and Armstrong's Mahogany Stain, the IPE would have outlasted The Donald! Hah! Jake
