    Whats the best way to strip a deck? Used Behr deckover last year and its already looking like garbage and peeling in places huge.

    I assume i can sand it with a belt sander, but this decks older and in a few places had the odd screw head popping up i cant sink any lower because its stripped out.

    Just giver anyways? Or is there a good belt oit there thay wont shred?

    Drill out the heads maybe? Dont use a belt sander as it isnt soft and small enough to get into the areas where a pole mounted would get. A palm sander would be better.

    ^ Oh shit, now those drops of water are going to act like convex lenses, burn the stain until it peels, and create a fire hazard!

    I mixed the dye to a bucket of water about the size of a large paint can, and used a small foam roller to apply it. It took 4 coats to get the color that closely matched the box, so if I were to use this method, I'd get a dye twice as dark as needed.

    The finished pieces look great, and unlike stain which doesn't penetrate at all, the dye penetrated to a depth of about 1 mm. The penetration was the same regardless of the amount of coats.

    One finished piece will remain in the shed, and the other on my deck to see how much the sun fades it.
    Here it is 1 week later and my South facing test piece has now faded by about 50%

    Forgive my ignorance, but what do you mean by a pole brush? I assume one of those hard-bristled rectangular-head shop brushes? Or are you referring to something else…? My Google-fu is usually pretty strong, but literally all I’m getting for results are pictures of sticks with various brushes on the end, rofl.

    We were planning on doing ours this summer - We bought a spec house a few years back, so everything was already done out of PT lumber, trying to make the best of it.

    How wet is off the shelf PT lumber?

    Perhaps stain would hold up a lot a better if the deck is built then you wait a year before staining. That would allow it to fully dry out, and go through some expansion and contraction cycles.

    Didn't end up raining in my area yesterday, so I scrubbed the entire deck with some deck cleaner. Looks pretty clean and restored most of the original color. Weather looks great this week so I think it's best to work continue working on it while the weather is nice.

    The wood is pressure treated, unstained, and about 2-2.5 years old. Should I even sand it? If so, I'm probably going to go what revalations suggested and work the pole sander today for some light surface sanding, sweep it up, tape/mask some edges and start staining after. Thoughts?

    Based on what I've discovered, it all helps with longevity. Im sure there is a more technical reason (opens up the wood better??/guess) though.

    I've read that too. I'll end up sanding it later today probably. I won't go too crazy with it, mostly sanding off loose fibers and areas where the brush didn't quite get at more thoroughly.

    I have had good luck with textured Deck Over from Behr. They have a $10 rebate right now and a gallon should cover about 150 sq ft.

    Not going back to staining again after this product.

    Prep is key, make sure you use "new" wood as possible by:

    -flipping it
    -sand it down with a Black and Decker mouse sander.
    -replacing old wood

    Followed revelations instructions. I feel like I didn't sand the planks enough but hopefully it doesn't chip or peel. I used Cabot Transparent Wood Stain in Cedar Tone in a single coat.

    Just a thread bump - im going past winter 2 with the Cabot deck stain. Repels water just fine and look the same as 2 years ago - ZERO peeling or odd look. (stained in late summer 2016)

    I intentionally left a small area WITHOUT any sanding/cleaning prep work mentioned earlier and now I can see the water isnt being repelled as much on that area.

    The prepwork IS KEY (with this and most other products).

    https://www.lowes.ca/products/defaul...n-base=oil&p=0



    Here is the catch, in order to have a deck water repelling coat that lasts you MUST follow these steps:

    NOTE ****

    You will need about a WEEK of no rain and above 10c temperatures. If temps call below 10c shortly after the stain has been applied, all bets are off.

    - clean with chemical cleaner, rinse with garden hose. You MUST then let deck dry for 2-4 days (2 if warm and sunny, 4 if cloudy and cool). DO NOT use a pressure washer as it will require WEEKS to properly dry the wood .

    - sand with a pole sander. You MUST not have water or rain after this otherwise you will have to re-clean and re-sand

    - apply the chosen, high quality stain with a pole BRUSH



    This is why many people have issues up here (and other climates like ours). Each step has to be followed EXACTLY.
