Hey guys,
This message is going out to all deck people who have coated cedar decks. If the deck has knots they usually turn white in less than a year. I know its not the fault of the sealer its just the wood. But, anyway I usually thin down a coat of my sealer and spot prime the knots and then apply the sealer over the entire deck. A painter that has been around for years told me to use paint thinner on the knots before applying the sealer and the thinner will glue the knot together so the sealer will last longer. any suggestions? When I talk about sealers I'm talking about F&P and Super deck -not solid colored stains Thanks
