Hi Lyle Thanks for the input. I use Boodge every chance I get. Great product! Dale

Wow..took a while for any feedback, but hell, I'm a patient kinda guy lol. I've tried Boodge over the last couple of years and I like it. Its foolproof in the application, everything just ends up blending with no laps. Deep penetrating and good colors. My favorite deck stain. Dale

Personally, I wouldn't want to spray Sikkens. Is this a maintenance coat or starting from scratch?

Thats a good point..but how much work was it? We don't know if the existing finish was a bear to get off etc. 1200 for a 'average' problemed deck with average elevation and access, seems decent to me. Dan, what was the strip like?

Sounds about right to me.

Really?...thats it? A cap full of Downey, some water and TSP and the acrylic comes off the wood?

Looks good. So what is it? The question is..How did it work on the next coat..the one thats actually bonded to the wood?..

Looks great!....shouldn't you have started at the other end?...looks like you have to leap over the railing...just sayin..

Do it in the late fall or early spring.

Hi all..haven't been around much lately. Lurking but not posting. I want to try out a product that originates in Oregon thats starting to be carried by my local Ben Moore dealer and wonder if anyones had any experience with it. Its called Boodge and its a mineral oil based non film former. Supposedly very user friendly...blends well..no lap marks and mostly never needs to be stripped just cleaned and reapplied. I'd like to try RS and WTW, but the problems with having enough product in a variety of colors and the lag time and cost of shipping puts me off a bit. This would be locally available to me on short notice. So far a couple of local contractors like it a lot. Not trying to derail a thread..this one is about products..just wondering if anyone closer to the source has any experience with it and can give some input. Tried about all the off the shelf product and most look like crap in a year or so (depending on exposure etc.) Anyone heard of it or used it? Thanks Dale

Man I have to move to where you live! lol. If you figure that the actual sq.ft of a typical deck is about double that of the floor space, a 500 sq.ft deck @ $3. =$3000. + materials. Easy money! 2 500 footers a week and hit the lake. Just kidding, I assume you mean floor sq. footage?

Yeah..sounds too good..never rots..non-toxic..looks purrty..whack a piece off an throw'er on the grill.. I emailed them some questions and asked for a sample...we'll see.

Thanks Shane..I missed that. I'm still a bit confused though. The sealmaxx is a coating but the timbersil is a process done to the wood before it hits the lumber yard. It got great reviews from Popular Science and a top ten award from Greenbuilding. They probably do mean it can be stainded with a solid stain.. tho they never clarify it. I wouldn't be suprised if products like this and the new generation composits take over as the materials of choice for outdoor structures like decks etc.....it just makes sense. But wood siding will probably be here for quite a while.

Anyone heard of this yet? Sounds like a great alternative to the poisons. http://www.timbersil.com/

Anyone using the 1600 series solid? I always uded the Primer/2 coats acrylic with good results. I just did my first deck using the 1600...that is some sticky stuff. ..at least I think so.
