New Deck: Clean Before Seal?
Is it necessary to apply deck wash before sealing a new deck
(new wood) with, say, Thompson's Plus? The deck is about six months old. It is under a roof, so technically it's the floor of a porch. This is volunteer work. I appreciate any assistance. I have googled and can't nail the answer down. |

As Mark said, Thompson's is really junk. You'd be much better off with either Olympic or Sikkens. -- Larry Email to rapp at lmr dot com |

Forget about the Thompson's seal stuff, it's very poor in protection. Cabot's Decking stain is much better. For any finish make sure the wood is clean and dry. |

Thank you for the input, m Ransley, L.M., and Phisherman.
I'll get the Consumer Reports update on deck sealing and follow your suggestions. |
