Woody in the Morning!

Question

I'm not a woody virgin any more! Did my first deck (pressure treated pine) today using Bob's chemicals and guidance (THANKS BOB!!!) Used F18 straight at 2 oz per gallon sprayed with my Bobcat and Bob's neutralizer / Brightener downstreamed at 9 oz per gallon in my bucket. After spraying the F18max and a 15 minute dwell I used my dual lance and 25* nozzle cutting my pressure way down with the dual lance to wash the old weathering out and then the brightener. This really surprised me. The deck was really rough and I thought it wouldn't come out this good. Only a few splinters and a small area furred. Minimal (maybe 10 minutes work) hand sanding will be all that's needed. Only one railing really needs replaced before I come back and seal it, that board was fairly rotten and had a wild vine growing on it at one time the home owner said. Plan on using ReadySeal to seal it. What ya think?

Pat,

Nice job. You may want to consider using your "Bobcat" (is that a type of sprayer?) for applying your acid brightener instead of downstreaming. 6 to 8 oz. / gal. of acid hitting the wood will really lighten up the color of the wood.

Ready Seal medium red would look great on that deck. 2 applications on the horizontal surfaces, one heavy on the vertical.
