Brian when you ask what "sealant" to use.
You don't mean just clear seal, correct? I would definately lean the customer towards "pigment".
The shakes would seem way to bright after neutralizating and applying clear seal.

I should probably try to sell them a deck wash as well. Or maybe another ten years and it will be ready for a washing.

This is a before pic for the post above

Nappy meaning nasty.

Ok someone has to step into the fray and ask the question so I guess it's me.HOW IS THAT HOPE AND CHANGE WORKING OUT FOR YA?????
Edward
Please complete your signature line. It's the house rules.
Welcome to TGS.

My hose on the deckster is 50 ft. and holds exactly one gallon.
The wood took 2 and could have taken more IMO.
Flushing the line to get that last gallon is a gamble sometimes.
But, I was scratching my head trying to remember where I put the brush.

Thx. The 2nd resi is decieving.
It looks like a Hardie Plank finish. However it is called masonite. Very cheap material to build with and it doesn't hold up long at all.
I think the only thing holding it together was the paint itself.
A good selling point for a "low pressure" wash.

Nice job! I'm sure they are thrilled!Beth :cup:
Customer is pleased with it. Enough to give me the 10x20 deck (wooden patio) re-build in the back yard.
His resi is the only one on the entire street with wooden entryways and wooden patio ( exit). I'll take it, however, the re-build may atcually have me working past 1:00 in the afternoon. That's sacreligious!!!!!!!!!!

Huge deck it must have took a long time, just kidding. Looks good.No overtime on this one for sure.
-
Huge improvement...How long did it take to clean and stain...did you use per carbonate followed by a brightener?Thx. I have a total of 2.5 hrs. in the resto.
Naoh ( weak) and ox to brighten.
RS Dk. Red for stain, pushpad, didn't spray this one (or Rick P. would have a field day with me).

More pics. Same house

A Housewash

Oops uploaded the pics in the wrong order.
Oh well
Front entryway, pretty old, maybe it will last awhile with RS Dk. Red. It drank 2 gallons easy.
-
Did you include the dimensions of the benches?
-
The pics never really show the true appearence of the job for some reason.
It looks great now that it is dry Rick.
I love using the deckster for sure. It saves my old back from the push pad.
However I am finishing up a smaller one this morning that I will just brush it on.
Dark Red as well. I'll post the pics of it when I get back later on.
It's around 45 this morning as well. RS seems to do ok around 45 degrees and up.
It will be a HEAT WAVE today topping out at 65 degrees. ha.
Have a great one.

Well, I thought it turned out pretty good anyway.
adios

Hey Jud,
You said you velcro your gun to the open postion.
I have been using a tennis ball when fatigue kicks in.
Have you tried that way? Is velcro better?
Just curious.

45 ish degrees so it took a little longer to dry.
Adios

You are right about Easy Off Beth.
It contains sodium hydroxide and may take a couple of applications.
I have suggested Easy Off to D.I.Yer's and oil stains on concrete for the fact that the hydroxide cuts the oil and grease.
They thought I was nuts until they tried it and it worked.
But it may take a couple of try's.
I have never mentioned it here because you folks might think i'm nuts. But it does work.
It works great for the ( ryhmes with weapos... who don't want my services ).
But we all know hydrox in bulk is the way to go.
Definately wear the respirator.
