How to Seal Gaps in a Tongue and Groove Porch Floor
Просмотров 4,4 тыс.Год назад
A lot of homes in the Philadelphia area have wood tongue and groove porches. Water can get into the joints as the wood moves with age and weather. By sealing the joints with a polyurethane caulk you can protect your porch from rot to the boards and the supporting joists underneath. Sealing a tongue and groove porch is a project that a homeowner can do with the right tools and a little bit of ti...
Exactly what we needed thank you!
What would be a good option if I use a stain instead of a paint.
Good question and I don't know the answer. I would expect that a solid stain would work just fine but a transparent or semi-transparent may not adhere to the polyurethane. The staff at my local Sherwin-Williams is very knowledgeable so it may be worth calling SW to see what they say.
Could you fo this before painting, then paint over it?
Yes, you could do it that way.
I just had tongue and groove, 2x6" treated, put on the porch, now after the long period waiting for it to dry, large gaps between the boards are very evident. So do you recommend the same treatment for this ailment...Thank you.
Hopefully, the boards were dried out before they were installed. If they were installed straight from the lumber yard and allowed to dry after installation then the gaps may be too big. You can try this method and use some caulk backing rod to fill in the gaps if they're especially large. The only other likely fix would be to pull the boards up now that they're dry and reinstall them (assuming they weren't dry when they were installed).
Good video, thanks for posting.
Do you reckon that’s going to last ? What about movement in the boards? Won’t it look shite once boards move ?
So far so good and I do expect it's going to last at least a few years. The product has a good amount of elasticity to it so it should hold up as the boards move.
How about showing the actual filter change so take the used filter out and put a new filter in (on camera). All you've shown is how to take the filter holder out (not the actual filter change).
Good point. I actually made the video for customers who weren't home at the time and thought to post it later. To remove the filter cartridge there's a screw cap that you'll remove to access it. The old one pulls out and the new one pops in.
Yes that's what I wanted to see too.
I can’t open the screw cap at all. Can you show how to do that to get the filter out?
@@BeckyWisniewski I emailed the Canopy and they sent me this : Here are a few steps you can try to help loosen it: When unscrewing be sure to twist the cap counterclockwise to open it. There are two grooves on the casing that match up, indicating when to stop screwing it in, twist in the direction to separate those. Soaking the showerhead in warm, soapy water for about an hour can help loosen any buildup that may be causing it to stick. After soaking, make sure to dry the showerhead completely before trying again. You can try using a kitchen towel for a better grip, similar to opening a stubborn jam jar lid. Once you have everything opened you should be able to pop out the old filter, rinse the casing out, and pop in a new filter. When you screw everything back together make sure not to do so too tightly.
Thanks. I wish it wasn't so expensive. There aren't many good ones on the market, though, that aren't made cheap.
On sale today only at Sephora
Thank you ,much 😊 appreciated. What was the name & type of caulk again ?
I used Loctite PL Concrete Non-Sag Sealant. Sikaflex would also work.
Yeah, I just got done doing a 200 year old porch. Well at least the house is - are use the OSI quad pro and never thought about using mineral spirits as a cleaner upper I just rag and tool it as much as I could I have a porch to do this week and will try it. Thanks for showing us been using Diamabrush and removing paint all the time, and looking at the Mutombo or paint shaver pro
Thanks for sharing
What kind of paint or porch floor coating do you use that will stick to that polyurethane and hold up to foot traffic?
I used Sherwin-Williams Porch and Floor Enamel.
