Greetings All,
I just put the second coat of Cabot's stain on our deck, and the look is
exactly what we wanted. Is there anything else in the way of a
sealer/topcoat that will extend the life of the stain as long as possible.
I do realize it needs to be refinished once in a while, but I'd like to
keep it looking fresh as long as possible.
Many thanks,Mark

If you have any issues with the Cabot's coming off to the least touch give
your dealer a call and ask for a rep to make an inspection. I didn't and
it's shame on me for being stupid. I had blamed the lack of adhesion on the
fact that I had applied Thompson's Water Seal about 5 years earlier. I then
realized that the stained areas which are protected from the weather and
light are not rubbing off. This is no slam on Cabot's - I used it on the
T1-11 siding on our house and garage without any problems. So, I still have
a hunch that it's the Thompson's causing me grief. But just in case you hae
an issue call them for some advice. My call was 2 years late and they
quickly blamed the Thompsons.
