0 staudend 14 Report post Posted August 19, 2004 Hmmm. lemme put top 3, 1) wood tux 2) SW deckscapes 3)Cabot bottom 3 1)Thompsons 2)Flood CWF 3)Behr My experience with wood tux is limited to a few decks, but they look awesome and should last based on what's in it. The bottom three might give you one good season, then start looking like crap soon after. They all might look good initially, but durability is a huge issue. Readyseal is supposed to be good, but I can't find a dealer around here so I can't rate it from experience. Each brand may have products that I have not used that are better than the ones I have. I like wood tux for its looks better than any of them though. These ratings are all based on the semi-transparent finishes. Nick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 reed 500 Report post Posted August 20, 2004 No particular order intended. WoodTux, ReadySeal, Cabots Worst, Thompson's, CWF-UF, Behr. reed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 John T 744 Report post Posted August 21, 2004 I would rate Cabots, Benjamin Moore and Superdecking as the best stains that I use. The worst would be Behr's by far followed by CWF and.....Solid stains... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 James 624 Report post Posted August 21, 2004 ITs simple oils are the best for preservation of wood and maint. Films only keep water out. If I was a filmer I wood use Thomsons because you can maint. it easier than all the other films and it does the same thing. The thing about films is the longer it last the harder it is to get off. TWP- RS-ABR These product preserve wood. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Rob 00 14 Report post Posted April 22, 2005 I did a google search and found your website. My situation is I used Flood CWF UV last year on a brand new 5/4 x 6 cedar deck. My customer notified me that there small sections where the deck is peeling. What I do to resolve this issue. The can said to use a stain stripper or dekswood cleaner. As I see in your posts the product is junk. Can I switch over to a decent product and avoid the same situation? Any ideas please respond. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Strip the deck and apply a semitransparent penetrating oil finish like Wood Tux. Beth :groovy: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
