I’m glad I found this video, so my dad is over giving me a hand with fixing my deck that he had painted. It’s been painted twice and we were trying to pressure wash everything off but I see you have some painted boards. So in your opinion, does it even matter if I have every bit of paint off the boards?
I used the product on both previously stained boards and new, unfinished boards. The end result was that there is No noticeable difference between the two. If the paint is very thick, there may be a visible difference if the edge between painted and unpainted surface isn’t a smooth transition. Otherwise, you will probably be ok. Good luck!
I am pleasantly surprised at how well the resurface product has held up. I haven’t had any chipping and the finish still looks great. Thank you for watching! Wishing you the best
I'd love to know how it has held up 3 yrs later. Also, what part of the country are you in? My deck has to survive harsh winters of ice, snow, deep cold and repeated thaws. Thanks for the video.
It is showing signs of wear. There is some peeling, however, it seems to be only in areas where the layer underneath is peeling. As with any surface protectant, it needs good bonding. If you have to use a snow shovel, you will probably cause damage to the surface as you would with any other paint type of finish. Wishing you the best. Thank you for watching!
It will depend on temperature, humidity, direct sun, etc. In my situation, it was around 80 degrees with direct sun and the coat was dry by the time I finished the previous coat. You will notice a visual difference when dry, although I would test a section first. It can always be touched up if necessary. Thank you for watching and commenting. Wishing you the best!
I have power washed and replaced one decking board and am ready to apply it; my question is what is the best way to get the paint from the 5 gal. pail into a commercial size roller pan or is there a better way to apply the paint on your roller. I noticed you had some type of screen on top of your pail and I am not familiar with it. Also will you gently power wash again, just to clean it , say in 1-2 years? Thanks great video!
Hi Bill! I used a 5-gallon bucket grid so no transfer of paint was necessary. It’s reusable and I found it well worth the $4-5 investment. New pressure treated lumber may need a few days to dry in order for the paint to properly adhere. I have gently pressure washed with a 40 degree nozzle with no damage to the paint. Wishing you the best!
Thank you for watching and commenting! I do not know anyone who’s tried it on concrete but that’s an interesting idea. If you decide to try it, please let me know how it works out. Wishing you the best!
Great video. Quick question - how "gritty" does this product make the boards feel? I've seen other decks done with the sand/stain combination and they come out very gritty and rough to the touch.
Thanks for watching and commenting! I wouldn’t describe the texture as gritty at all - if you’re referring to a non-skid type finish. Both the old and new decking have a uniform finish that is Not slippery when wet nor is it rough to walk on in bare feet. Please let me know what product you decide to use on your project. Wishing you the best!
I'm unable to find an answer anywhere, and the guy at Lowe's was zero help. The Cabot Deck Correct is a greyish white color. What did you use to tint it?
Hi Lori, I’m sorry that you had a bad experience at Lowe’s. The Deck Correct product that I used was pre-tinted Cordovan Brown. I checked the Lowe’s website and they have a number of pre tinted bases. If you’re comfortable selecting a color online you could order it and have it delivered to your home or the nearest store. please let me know how it works out for you. Wishing you the best!
@@RegularGuyDIY Thank you for the reply. Our guy at Ace Hardware told us we could bring in our 5 gallons of untinted Deck Correct and he'd take care of it for us. Gotta love the local guys!
We bought this for our deck and are still doing some prep (and now in a holding pattern due to a 2 week forecast of daily rain). Did you use the 3/8" nap roller that Cabot recommends or different size?
We haven’t had a noticeable scratches with our older dog. Next week we’ll have a new puppy and that could change. I certainly understand your concern, especially when I’ve seen hardwood floors that have been ruined by pet nails. I suppose it depends, in part, on the frequency of nail clipping and whether a grinder is used to smooth the edges. You may consider talking with your vet about that. If you decide to go forward with it, please let me know how it works out for you. Wishing you the best!
How’s the deck paint holding up after 5 years? Which color did you use please? Thanks!

Great video! Just checking in on how it’s been holding up? I wasn’t sure if you get a lot of cold weather or snow?

Following up again couple years later how has the product been holding up?
Did you have to sand the old deck first and can you put a darker color over a lighter color without having to power wash it all off?
There is no prep required. If you have deep impression, you may need to fill in with wood filler first. Otherwise paint and go. Wishing you the best!

How long does it have to dry before applying that second coat?
It will depend on temperature, humidity, direct sun, etc. In my situation, it was around 80 degrees with direct sun and the coat was dry by the time I finished the previous coat.

Do you know anyone who has used Deck Correct on concrete? And if so, how well it has adhered?

You said to look how quickly it dries in direct sun, but the instructions on the can say not to apply in direct sun. Which is best?
That’s the great mystery. I would defer to their advice but my schedule wouldn’t allow for that. It’s held up great for years.

@@loridarlin8387 That’s great to hear and nice to know. Wishing you the best on your project!
I just did this yesterday. Same color and all. Do I need to do anything else like seal it? Or is it good as is?
Thank You.
Not at all
Regular Guy DIY Thank You,
I just bought the same color from Lowe’s but could you tell what you used to fill the cracks before painting? Thank you
I didn’t pre fill the cracks. I just let the product do the work.
We bought this for our deck and are still doing some prep (and now in a holding pattern due to a 2 week forecast of daily rain). Did you use the 3/8" nap roller that Cabot recommends or different size?
I used the recommended size. Wishing you the best!
How many gallons of Deck Correct paint it took you to do your 20’ x 20’ deck?
And what color did you use?
I used 2.5 gallons in Cordovan Brown.
How did it hold up after the winter?? Is there any bubbling or chipping?
Some minor chips from moving a large umbrella base, but good otherwise. Thank you for checking out my video. Wishing you the best!
I want to use this product but I’m afraid my dogs nails will strip it off

Did you clean the deck beforehand? If so, how?
I did a simple spray down with water only. If you have mildew, careful pressure washing beforehand would provide a cleaner surface for the product.
Regular Guy DIY would pollen be a factor? Should I wait until pollen season is over?
What color is this?
Cordovan Brown
no prep????
Nope😊
How's it holding up a year later?
It’s been holding up great! I would do it all over again. Thanks for watching!
@@RegularGuyDIY thanks, it helped me make a decision.
Why didn't you do between the boards? Lol
J Sal Good catch! I did touch up the paint between the boards. It just wasn’t visible in the video.
Because you used a roller and not a deck brush you missed all the seems.
Good eye! I did cover the board edges. What I failed to do was get it on video. Thanks for watching!
Didn't show the results worth a damn. All that work and we know how you tape, but no zoom in on the finished deck
This doesn't show how you got the color. The tint base is white.
