Striping Caked On Failed Thompsons Water Seal-F-18

[Little Buddy 14]

Hey guys,

It's finally my SPRING BREAK!!!!! I have a couple bids to do this week and one project. Its a little deck that they want done asap so they can start enjoying spring, the rest of the project can wait until summer. There is some previous damage because they told me flat out that they tried doing it themselves years ago, and now the finished has failed bad. It is 10-15year oldish ptp with failed thompsons water seal. Take a look...

That should be a cake walk. Although in looking at the pics it appears to be a grey semi transparant almost - not just weathered. Kind of has the whitewashed look.

They said the stain went on as a golden color. They never removed the previous finish before, so i dont know whats underneath. I think i might start at 8oz per gallon with the F-18.

The floor is probably shot..... the bench to me is what appears to maybe have a grey stain on it. Hard to say for 100% though from pictures. Should be pretty easy still. I would try 13oz per gallon and downstream it.

i was planning on using a pumpup sprayer...would you still use 13oz with that?

[Greg R 82]

no 13 would be strong straight.... test a spot with 8. You might find you dont even need that strong of a mix.

[Little Buddy 14]

sounds good, I'm also taking this time to make some youtube videos as well. What kind of ratios do you use F-8 in for direct application.

Olympic Maximum is not a hard strip at all.

You can do this. Dwell time matters.
