    Excellent video!!!! One thing that I discovered this year, that readers might find helpful, is that solid color deck paint can NOT be color-matched. This means that you will have to find a color in a deck paint manufacturers current line of swatches that matches your deck color as closely as possible. Not an easy task after seven years!

    Looks good.... Not sure if you get them in the USA but try using a Sikkens brush too apply your stain/oil.... you wont turn back ... it gives a beautiful finish when restoring decks. Ben from Melbourne Australia

    Hi--It's really tough to find a deck stain that lasts more than a couple years, especially if you get a lot of snow. My problem is I have to shovel the snow off my decks, and that scrapes off the stain and marks it up. And any time you have water sitting on a surface, it's hard to make stain (or paint) protect for very long. Stay on top of it is all I can say, so the wood doesn't rot, because as soon as that happens you need a new deck. Good luck!

      Even in TN it’s hard to get more than 3 years out of a stain. We don’t get the snow, but the hot summers absolutely destroy it

    thanks was curious as to how it work out. and yes you are right. snow and other equipment would def beatup the stain/protector no matter what you put on it. read some reviews, watched youtube and get mixed answers. the cost of the stain/coating is less then replacing every three years. so if i can get 5-7 out of it and then recover its worth it. i am thinking next deck. cedar. thanks again for the info!

  • @howtopaintahouse
    @howtopaintahouse  11 лет назад

    I haven't used them. Bottom line is a deck surface is exposed to a lot of sun, rain, snow, ice, etc., and no matter what you use it's not going to last too long, at least not in great shape. Two years after I stained this deck I see some spots where it is wearing off...I touched them up with a brush and it looks better. (In this case I think a snow shovel scrapes off the stain.) Anyway, read the online reviews and visit your local paint stores and then make the best decision you can. Good luck!

  • @howtopaintahouse

    I don't have any experience covering graffiti, but I recommend using a stain-blocking primer. Oil based would be best. (Like KILZ.) They do make stain-blocking latex primers but they are not quite as effective (in my opinion). Doesn't mean they won't work okay for this job, though. I believe the paint store can tint the primer grey for you if you want. Good luck with that graffiti. Ask at the paint store what they recommend for this. Always good to get a second opinion.

    Nice. But why didnt you use your airless sprayer for this job?

    • @howtopaintahouse
      @howtopaintahouse  10 лет назад +3

      It's pretty quick and easy to roll a deck surface. Even if you sprayed it, you would need to backroll it to work the paint into the wood, so you wouldn't be saving much time. However, if you have a lot of deck RAILING to do it can sometimes be worth using an airless sprayer. A brush and mini-roller combo works pretty well on railing too, though. One factor is how much foliage, nearby buildings, etc., is around the house that you would have to cover from overspray. Sometimes you can spend more time covering stuff up to spray than you would just using a brush and roller. Every situation is different.

      I'm not sure. You might be able to use it. Ask at the paint store and see what they say. Usually it's best to use products for their intended purpose, but depending on the situation it might not matter.

    • @Deckrejuvenationcom
      @Deckrejuvenationcom 8 лет назад

      Had to do the conversion as we use Meters in Australia.... you have roughly a 25 SQM deck... most coatings have a spread rate of at least 10 SQM per Litre for the first coat then between 12 - 15 SQM per litre each coat there after as the timber takes on less product. So in short around 6 Litres would do your deck which works out to 1.58 Gallon sorry calculations are different on this side of the work. Ben from Deck Rejuvenation, Melbourne Australia

    Sir to say that no one will notice that you didn't get stain between the boards is just a flat out lie. The only way for a pro look is to make sure stain is covering every part of the board. If I did decks that way I wouldnt get any jobs. There isn't a "technique" to stain a deck but good old fashioned work. Which you are clearly trying to avoid.

    • @howtopaintahouse
      @howtopaintahouse  9 лет назад +1

      cwrowe If you use a thick nap roller as I say in the video (1.25 inch), you'll get enough stain between the boards so that most people won't notice, in my opinion. It partly depends on how wide the gap is between the boards--a wide gap is easier to see into than a narrow gap. But if somebody is really concerned about getting between the boards, I would first of all recommend that if possible they stain the wood before the deck is constructed so they can stain all four sides of each board; or, if the deck is already in place and you are re-staining it, use a sprayer to apply the stain because that will allow you to spray into the gap between the boards; or finally, you can use a brush to get in between the boards as much as possible--although it's probably going to ruin the brush. To be honest I've never had a customer complain about one of my deck staining jobs so it isn't really an issue.
