0 PressurePros 248 Report post Posted January 18, 2006 I think it would be okay for deck structure such as posts and joists, stuff that is never intended by a homeonwer to be stained or sealed. Supposedly this stuff can be painted or stained but I cannot understand how something that serves to act as a moisture barrier and serve to increase density would allow sealer to penetrate. I am assuming they mean some type of solid stain? I've done as much research as I care to at this point. If someone wants to send me samples of product I'll be happy to add it to my 15 or so projects out back and let the world know what my results are. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Dale 16 Report post Posted January 18, 2006 Thanks Shane..I missed that. I'm still a bit confused though. The sealmaxx is a coating but the timbersil is a process done to the wood before it hits the lumber yard. It got great reviews from Popular Science and a top ten award from Greenbuilding. They probably do mean it can be stainded with a solid stain.. tho they never clarify it. I wouldn't be suprised if products like this and the new generation composits take over as the materials of choice for outdoor structures like decks etc.....it just makes sense. But wood siding will probably be here for quite a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I feel the same way Ken i just dont' see how you can stain especially an oil base stain on top of the seal deck and that it would even stick. I'll send ya some product to make 16 projects....:lgsideway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 PressurePros 248 Report post Posted January 18, 2006 LOL, sweet send some my way! I will dedicate and name a pallet "Shane" I will be publishing my copy of "Kensumer Reports" in the spring. Placing an ad in my magazine will absolutely bias my findings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But wood siding will probably be here for quite a while. I agree Dale i wouldn't be suprised to see it in the next generation lumber.Like Ken said it would be even better for the #2 lumber for joist,post etc for strength and durability. I still don't see it a good product for #1 deck boards where you won't be able to get a penetrating stain to soak in the wood.Not having the ability to apply a oil base pigmented penetrating stain to fight the U/V rays is a bad idea. The SUN is still the #1 culprit to wood drying out warping,cracking etc.! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
