Behr gone, RS Natural Cedar

[tropical wave 22]

The pics from the original thread are gone, so here it is......

This deck had a double coat of Behr redwood colored semi with silicone, it was pretty near a solid to look at it..... replaced about 8 boards on the steps and floor, stripped, neutralized and sealed with RS Natural Cedar. The steps that are lighter colored are obviously the new boards... :)

The structure of the deck is PTP.

Hey Michael,

Great job! Question...what did you use to strip the deck? Next question...when are you going to do their fence? ;) Sharp work!

after 8 days you can really see how the sealer changed to its true color...not orangey, but cedar like its supposed to be.... :)

thanks man, I HATE behr, .... it blows ......I have some really good pics of the floor before and during stripping.....it was almost solid looking and flaking...yuk

The #1 Reason I hate behr is The Home Depot praises the stuff (well at least here in bend they do) and you would be lucky to get one season out of it.

home depots biggest seller here too......oh well, keeps us in business :)

was in a different big box store the other day and almost fell over when I saw the new "armour all" deck and wood protectant...... I picked it up to read the container (made sure nobody was looking at me first) ...... seems like any big name can get in the bizz and sell this crap...... name recognition, whats next?
