Thompson's Water treatment For Decks, Or... ?
Hello:
Have a deck that is made (thank goodness) from pressure treated wood. Deck is about 20 years old. Will be wanting to apply some product like Thompsons Water Seal to it. Questions: a. Is Thompson's the brand to use, or are there "better" products available ? b. How is this stuff applied ? Just swabbed on with a big, cheap, paintbrush, or... ? How about spraying it on ? If so, would you still need to smooth the liquid with a brush ? c. The underside of the Deck is high enough to walk under. Should I also apply this stuff to the underside ? Brush or spray ? d. How does one get the sides of the planks, seeing that there is about an 1/8 inch gap, only ? Important to do the sides too ? e. Does pressure treasted wood absorb any of this product, or is it pretty much of a surface treatment ? Just out of curiosity, how about regular wood: surface only ? Thanks, Bob |
