I used this stuff on a deck in this shape an I sanded it first and the paint chipped off in two years but I am redoing it now and filling every crack in the wood with liquid nail then priming
You have to wash really good, and use the primer adhesive, do your first coat with a brush and hit every crack really good. Then roll a thick coat on. All the DIY'ers doing this are just slapping it. If you take your time and do it correctly it works great. I am on year 5 and no issues other than one spot I messed up on. SO I redid that spot. Also brush in-between at least low enough for the water to run off and drip .
Darn was hoping to see you try both rollers and review if it's worth buying the Rocksolid one! Maybe next time, make for a great title as well. Looks nice so far.
LOL, I was going to run video on their roller and it was so bad right away, I freaked and ran that short video. It's a good idea though and I do still have one of their rollers and could do that video maybe on some cardboard. The paint gets really weird too, if you have half a can and close it up overnight, it's a lot tougher to spread the next day. Thanks for the idea and the view.
There are wood epoxies or fillers that you might want to put on top of the top of the vertical slats; when they deteriorate, they let water deep into the slats, promoting rotting.
The 6X Deck Coat, being super thick did a really good job of filling in cracks and stuff. I haven't finished editing all the video that I shot from that project, but I'm pretty sure I say somewhere that the deck is really on it's last legs and I'm hoping this buys some time, some of the boards are pretty bug holey, and that this is helping the curb appeal for now. I'm thinking of it as kind of an experiment to judge wear, because some people had issues with this paint peeling off and after the snow flies and the shovels come out, it'll be interesting to see how the deck looks then. When we rebuild though, part of me is thinking there's got to be a way to build a solar panel "awning" for the deck to keep rain and snow off and maybe charge a little heater system to keep the steps clear of ice during the winter and maybe power a rain water collection pump in the summer.
Thanks for your question. It gave me the opportunity to experiment with responding as a short video as let's face it, a video is much better than me typing that the rear deck is showing more wear than I had expected but the front deck is nearly perfect besides some rusty screw bleed through. Thanks again, I hope this shows that if you don't use something then it'll look fine, but two adults and two 80 pound dogs will put a hurting on the paint in just a couple years.
Why did they use non galvanized screws. .lol I'll put money down those rusted out screws will give you trouble down the road. They are most likely just about rusted to half of the length they were when installed.
@@rycor9117 So that's what I'm dealing with now. The coated screws that I used are holding those boards tight, but heads are popping off a bunch of the old screws, leaving rusty blownout holes in the deck. The previous owners probably knew they were moving and fixed as many things around the house as cheaply and quickly as possible.
@@bigmikebeardwisdom I had the same issue and drilled out the bad ones I could get out then used a rust encapsulator which was probly overkill. lol Rocksolid does work if you take the time and do one sloppy coat over the cracks and issues and then a rolled coat. It is not a friendly DIY thing hence the law suit they got.
@@rycor9117 The rust encapsolator is a pretty good idea. The heavy traffic rear deck is definitely showing wear, but the front deck that pretty much just catches packages looks pretty good, save for where some rusty spots have pushed through.
We found painting at high temperatures in direct sunlight dried too fast, so the paint did not flatten properly. To avoid dew problem, we tried to paint early morning, but first had to wait for the dew to dry off the deck. So a catch 22. We wanted to paint super-dry wood so waited for summer. But tough to find say 5 days in a row without rain.
I feel you on the rain part. It wasn't supposed to rain for several days and then a freak storm pops out and hit us around Midnight to 2am and dropped a half inch of rain. The Deck Coat was at about hour 32 when it rained and it got weird fast. The nice thing was that the high when we were painting was like 72, so it was great to be outside. Then we painted the front deck which is in the shade it was mid 80s and far less nice.
LOL, humor is everywhere, it's all a matter of perspective. For the tired person holding the camera talking to themselves, there's a lot of funny things. Thanks for the comment though.
Were you stoned when you did this? The primer us barewood sealer. You are supposed to strip thar wood. And people wonder why they have problems with this stuff coming off
There's an old saying about it being better to be thought a fool than opening your mouth and confirming it. In this instance, it's posting a comment that will live on the internet forever, especially with the screenshots I took. So if you watched the video in the instructions I read Condition 1, which is previously painted and stained surfaces. You do not need to strip the surface. So maybe you shouldn't be high when you write comments with misspelled words about something that you have no knowledge about. If I were you, I would apologize to the good people of Rustoleum in your next comment.
@@rycor9117 Thanks, it was a little long winded and I really wanted to make it just 2 words, but then that comment would live forever on the internet as well.
