Hey Shane... help bro

Question

Got a call from a customer.. Said some white spots were appearing on her deck. She just sent me some pictures. This is Bakers Gray Away on PTP. Stripped, pH balanced, sanded and buffed. Sealer sprayed and back brushed.

Some type of salt? Sap?

ideas on a solution?

What the heck?? That is strange! My first thought is customer did something, blaming it on you. Otherwise, that is a first. Doesn't look like sap, and when salt comes through it looks "dusty" on the surface.

That close up pic you can see the little dots and even the where the spot is still brown you can see the sap leaching out.It's just the nature of the beast when it comes to Pressure Treated Pine and sap!

There are some decks i've had to scrape off the sap with a paint scraper then sand and touch up.That sap can get pretty gooey at times!!
