We use Timberoil on all new wood, then switch to TWP a year or two later.

I can't come and stay at your house for a week?

Okay here is what was explained to me about Super Cedar. 1. It is not a semi-solid. 2. It will look like the Transparent Cedar in finished color. 3. It has 3 times the amount of Trans Oxides as the regular Transparent Cedar. Hence being priced with the cost of the semi-solids. Basically this is a lightly tinted Cedar Color. Having 3 times the trans oxides, it will give substanial better UV protection then the Tranparent Cedar. Hope this helps

I will get a better answer from Jake and post.

I agree but honestly my site is so feature rich it will have issues with anyone who has a 56k modem. It will not matter if the video is there or not. Joomla is a great platform but it is not the fastest.

According to Jake it is loaded with pigment making it a semi-soild.

It actually has more and is considered in the semi-solid range.

Thanks for the feedback. It has all to do with connection speed with the playback quality.

Ken, have you tried that SuperCedar yet?

hmmm...:D

All Defy Products are registered with the MPI as a "green" wood stain. Just because other stains are VOC compliant that does not mean they are green. If he wants a "crystal" clear sealer then go with the new Defy Extreme. It's the first of its kind and I have seen it on wood for 9 months with zero fading: Defy Extreme Stain

Changing contest end date to May 31st due to weather.

We have only had about 4 days of decent weather here in michigan where we could do any staining. It's hurting our schedule and call volume.:(

Natural looking deck vs. painted looking deck Most people prefer to have a natural looking deck with the grain showing through.

Good for you Dan!

No pictures yet?

If you received our Free Stain offer and have used the product please post your thoughts here. I would greatly appreciate all honest opinions! Thanks!

Sweet!

You still would have 6 days to have one done. I am sure you could do it!

I am going to change the deadline to May 17th. That is one month. I believe this will give people more time to pick the correct deck/picture to post. Alot of contractors are dealing with weather related issues as well.

Tony, the reason we would like new pictures is so that people just didn't pull out some older pictures they have without making an effort. The deck you did a couple of weeks ago is a great picture but so is alot of other contractors pictures that were done last year or prior. I apologize if the timing was bad for you but it would not be fair to make an exception. If I allowed yours then I would need to allow every past picture. I do hope you understand as I do appreciate your business! By the way I said a new picture not a new deck :)

Dan, I added it back to my site in 5 Gallon Pails only. I need to drop ship them. If you order the Cedar 201 it will be $159.99 per pail + shipping and will ship out from the NE area. All other colors will drop directly from Amteco and they will charge me an extra $20 per pail plus shipping costs.Sorry but this is the best scenario I could come up with.

Ken, bought three 55 gallon drums of our Downstream Stripper last year.

It's nice to see a Home Owner do the research and use quality products instead of running up to Home Depot.

Kevin, IPE verticals will last 2-3 years with most stains. It's the horizontals that's the problem.
