Pressure Treated Lumber
Hello, I have deck made of pressure treated lumber, and the previous
owner had applied solid stain on it. Since I like to see natural wood grain, I intend to use semi-transparant stain of Olympus (guranteed to last minimum 5 years). I am thinking to first apply Paint Stripper, followed by Deck Cleaner, and lastly the semi-transparent stain -- all Olympus products. Got a few doubts hoping to get your feedback before I start my deck restoration project. 1) Does pressure treated lumber has good grain ? Will the wood grain be visible with the semi-transparent stain on ? 2) I heard that pressure treated lumber has some protecting coating on. Will all the stripper and cleaner chemicals affect the coating and thus the durability of the deck ? 3) I cannot reach the flip-side of the deck -- I mean the side of the deck facing down the earth. Therefore I cannot re-stain that side. Will this be any concern related to the wood durability after applying all these chemicals? Many Thanks! |
