Wood Tux Crystal Seal?

[sturgisjr 14]

Good Morning,

I have a customer with a Cedar deck and I am thinking he wants a clear. I offered the other WoodTux colors (transparent toners or semi-transparent?) I wanted to know how a clear performs in terms of durabilty and whether or not it protects from greying. I am debating on even offering a clear and Id hate for customers to be dissapointed. Would appreciate of anyone else could share a good quality clear if not WoodTux.

I am at a stage where I am trying to get the sealers straightened out (as you will notice in other posts).

At the time being, I offer WoodTux (never used on a deck yet and want to expand choices and compete with competitors), Olympic Maximum and Wolman F&P. I would like to hear how WoodTux compares to the other 2 products. Seems like most of my customers always go for the Olympic Maximum and I noticed many of you would go with the Wolman F&P if a backup sealer bought in store was needed---why is that?

Will WoodTux peel over time since I gather through some posts that it does not penetrate into the wood as deep as other oil-based sealers?

Thank you

Brian

Wood Tux doesn't peel that we have seen. It is a penetrating oil.

The clear will grey the way any other clear would - there is no pigment in the clear.

The Honey Gold looks awesome on cedar, and provides great UV protection and won't grey fast.

Hope this helps.

Warm Honey Gold

Brown Sugar

Crystal

In that order...

We like the way Wood Tux hold up compared to Olympic and F&P. We have gotten fantastic results.
