I have a Western Red Cedar deck that is 26 years old and in excellent

Is it water-based or oil-based? In Calif. the last few years, we can't
buy the oil-based stuff any more, and the other isn't very useful.

Oil based. If you don't mind paying the shipping, buy it herehttp://www.woodnewengland.com/cscart/penomain.htm

Good stuff. I've used it a few years now and won't use anything else.

Edwin - that's it. Thanks for the link. What color do you use? I have
a cedar deck, its about 70 feet wide and 15' deep, how much would I
need? I was thinking about the: Ultra Premium Red Label Penofin in
Western Red Cedar, I like a more of a brownish red finish, preferably
something like teak furniture looks.
