Solid latex stain. I usually boost hd-80 with propylene glycol

Can F-18 be boosted like hd-80.

I notice people mentioning 3M pads for defurring. The ones I received from the Deck Guide were not 3m. Are the 3M pads better? These tore and wore down very quickly. Just ordered some Osbornes from Mcmaster-Carr hopefully the will last longer. I purchased 20 pads to do the 3000 Sq Ft deck Im working on and they didnt even make it to the end. Lee

Should be finished with the cleaning tomorrow. Then defurring. Should be sealing Wednesday or Thursday.

It is not ACQ. Its on mahogany that had not been seales in 6 years or so. It came out fine but just seemed I had to use alot more pressure than usual. Was green layer very slippery. I boosted the EFC-38 with a little NaOH that worked a little better. I wonder if I should be cleaning with diluted Naoh insted of percarb. Lee

Just washed a deck with EFC-38 full strength. No sealer present. Deck was green with a thin layer of algae I guess. Barely budged the stuff. Any suggestions? Lee

All of Lake Winnipesaukee is where money is. A small house here is 5000 sq ft. Lee

Doing my first large job starting today. Just over 3100 sq ft. 3 level monster. Should be fun. Thankfully there is no sealer on it. Mahogany decking with cedar rail. Ill post some pictures later. Lee

Thanks

Charlie that worked. Thanks. Lee

Stripped and brightened a deck and was unable to seal before it rained. Now there is a big water stain in the bare wood where the water collected. Probably have to clean it off? Thoughts. Lee

What AC or Ready Seal semi to tone down the natural red tones of Douglas Fir. I was thinking Rustic Brown in AC or Medium Brown in Ready Seal. Your thoughts would be appreciated. Lee

Just checked that out. That's a serious piece of equipment. Must of cost a pretty penny.

60 grit

Now that I think about it I'm not sure the bottom layers were not urethane. Home owner said he remembered putting two coats of SRD on.
