Moderators dtel Posted April 29, 2014 Moderators Share Posted April 29, 2014 I will discuss it with him. Thanks for your observations! Better talk with him, as Minermark said you will have a really big mess if he tries that. That would be like oiling a painted black speaker it's crazy. He did the 2 coats of deck paint yesterday. We will watch for beading during and after rain that is forecasted as was mentioned by *mach-1. Thanks Good deal, just remember even Thomsons stops beading up after a while, but it's still working. I would think the 2 coats of deck paint will take care of it for a good while, you will probably see when it needs more as it will just look like it could use a new coat, next year some time at the earliest, you did good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted April 29, 2014 Moderators Share Posted April 29, 2014 This reminds me of my first job, still in High School. Ford 1500 tractor with 15 ft flail mower, pulling two outboard 6 ft flail mowers. They hadn't invented ear protection. It took three days per week to mow the Danbury Municipal Airport, Danbury, CT That's a big mower, mine is only 6' but I do cut our grass 5.75 acres minus the ponds and my sisters 3 acres. You were cutting an airport Ever had to watch out for airplanes taking off or landing, or did they had to watch out for you ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alright, going to wait and sounds like a plan. Painting is a breeze anyway so, makes sense. Pressure treated should count for something too. It was heavy to move and work with. A couple of screws after this rain help rest and warp into place should be secure. We put some Liquid Nails on the bottom before laying so, not wanting to scrimp on materials. Hope so! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Love that pressure treated. Leaches cyanide over time. Hope they don't have a family member who eats dirt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thompsons ONLY on Raw wood !!!, if it's already painted, even stripping it will do nothing, the solvents form the paint are already soaked into the wood. The only way to water proof a deck is when it's "New", soak the chit out of it with Thompsons, then do whatever you want for the next 10 years. A built, painted deck could be stripped and if one is willing to do that then, two part epoxy coating will buy you 3 to 5 years. Im the last one to be the barer of bad news but if its already painted, your only hope is to keep painting it until your sick of looking at it, then if your supports are good and can hold the weight, redeck over the old one, and this time USE THOMPSONS from the get go.........

Moderators dtel Posted April 30, 2014 Moderators Share Posted April 30, 2014 Paint is really just for looks since you built with treated wood to start, (smart move) you really didn't need to do anything else for the woods sake at least. If NOT ground contact most PT wood is expected to last 20+ years by itself. Ground contact should be treated to .40 or better, if I remember correct regular treated wood is .28. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 (edited) Yes no way was I going to not use PT wood. We applied plywood over existing wood deck surface of wood, which I had ten years ago pressure washed and applied Thompsons. My idea to cover existing deck. My friend did not buck that idea and really, it worked out rather well considering. He will be back after the rain next week and do touchups as needed. Yes, a coat of paint now when needed will be the way. Did find some marine poly with silica in it for ant-skid online but, tried it after the rain and it was not slippery. No poly needed here, thanks guys... Now Nan has a place to soak up a little sunshine with her friends, and retreat to the outside when I turn up the music,lol. I will use it for shade and coffee!

eth2 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Cold and rainy here - currently 40 degrees, drizzle, high wind. Summer! Where are you? Getting so bad that it is affecting my normally sunny disposition. I may need to put sugar in my coffee. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 We are in North Florida near Tallahassee. Guess the thunderboomers with lightning woke me up earlier, still raining here and 72 degrees F. Good idea ! Doing cane sugar with a little hazelnut creamer. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybob Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 LOL, BTW, friend working on the deck last Saturday came in and read your postings about the topcoat and was amazed at the help that was being expressed. He said it made good sense to him and I told him, we are helpful in all fields of inquiry and endeavor. He got a real hoot out of the forum.

Right now the 5.5's but he has heard KG 4's and RF-3's here also. Next time he comes, I will introduce him to Chorus. Offered him a set a couple of years ago...resistance is futile. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 This is our biggest rain event this year so far. Last Sunday when I crossed the Suwannee, it was up to the picnic tables. Now with all this, flooding is a real problem for some folk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
