All the feedback is helpful. I've done some decks part-time for several years and have put in a bid for a condo association for this summer. TWP 100 has been my staple after stripping Behr (no doubt you guys dropped it long ago), Flood, and Sikkens (I think). I read somewhere that RS wasn't as good in the north, so I never tried it. I like the Cabot solid color acrylic, but it needs a primer. We're not forced to low VOC yet in MI. I've talked to the State. They don't know if or when we'll see tighter regs. But all considered, I give it 3 years. I want to get into a maintenance routine with the condos. I've been looking into SW, TWP 500, Cabot, and just learned about AC from Beth's site. Does anyone have experience with it in northern climates (ice-snow-slush belt). Michigan has a tough freeze-thaw cycle. What's it's wear expectancy on verticals vs horizontals? Can the product on horizontals be refreshed after a couple seasons of wear with a good cleaning or mild strip to restore porosity? I also have a job with a set-in hot tub. Would AC be a good choice here too given constant water splash? Would it be slippery? Thanks for any feedback. Dave Alpha Property Services
