Celeste 341 Report post Posted April 12, 2006 Here is Roger's latest project :) We've nicknamed it the "Bling Bling" deck - sun hits on those big ole copper post caps and you're blinded! Stripped with HD80, neutralized with Citralic and finished with Wood Tux Wet (no tint) Celeste Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Beth n Rod 1,279 Report post Posted April 12, 2006 Did you stain the lattice white or replace it with plastic? Beth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 Celeste 341 Report post Posted April 12, 2006 Beth, We replaced it with the vinyl stuff - the old wood literally dissintegrated when it was pulled off. They're getting ready to have all of the house trim painted white - hopefully it will tie in perfectly at that point :) Thanks Ken :) Celeste Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 Celeste 341 Report post Posted April 13, 2006 Thank you thank you :) It's just pressure treated. We did install the new copper caps as well....the old ones, like the old lattice, disintegrated! Celeste Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 seymore 90 Report post Posted April 13, 2006 Celeste you have a pic of the floor? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Celeste 341 Report post Posted April 13, 2006 Yeah, we got floor shots just for you Shane :) This pic of the bench will give you a view of the floor as well. Strangest bench construction! I added another before shot as well - this deck had some neon green stuff growing! Celeste Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 Jimmy M 14 Report post Posted April 13, 2006 Good job Roger, gotta love all the nooks and crannies and impossible to get to places. Is the wood tux at full strength or diluted? I've been experimenting with a sample and I think I might rather use this stuff at a one to one dilution. Full strength is just to orange to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Crownroyal 14 Report post Posted April 14, 2006 Did you have much furring? How old was that deck? What did you use to sand with? What do you guys like to use on older decks for stain? sorry for all the questions. Dan Mathis Dagan Exteriors Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Celeste 341 Report post Posted April 14, 2006 Snane - those things were a PITA! Roger ended up removing all and saved time that way....much easier to get to the inside without them in the way. Benches looked rather nice without them as well but they went back up. Jimmy, it's not orange when it cures out - be patient! You can also tint with a little black to get a browner finish. Roger can tell you the amounts. Dan, There was very little furring - it took less than 30 minutes with the Makita & defelting pad. That deck is about 15 years old. We're using WTW on about everything at this time. Celeste Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
