Excellent points and well taken. When we did our job it was a 12x12....we were very careful and did not have high amounts of the products....I can certainly see where there is always room for concern...have two kids myself. Would be concerned greatly about taking a big job where you would...

We live in a lake area...I called Wolman and talked to one of their reps regarding using Wolman's Deck and Fence Brightener on a dock...he stated that it is environmentally safe and shouldn't harm the lakes critters. We did the dock, and I didn't see any floating fish! Good Luck! Cam...

Right now we are doing some "surgical" marketing: we drive through neighborhoods and write down addresses of those with decks, fences, etc. and mail them a 4"x6" index card (offering no coupon, discount)..just started doing this so I'll keep you posted on the returns (if any). With gas...

Thanks Chris, Now my next question; what' s the conversion rate from Canadian to the American dollar! Just kidding, of course. Your post was actually helpful. Now, how did you market to these guys...go directly to manager or did you solicit by phone, mail, etc. Thanks again! Cam...

Extreme Haven't used Wolman Extreme yet but have used their other products, (like the F&P and Brightener). Was considering Behr or Flood for solid stains. Just wanted to add to your question: What are the best acrylic/oil based solid stains out there?

We've tried various other cheaper brighteners that also contained oxalic acid but must say that Wolman's truly is the best we have found as it is more gel- like and thus clings to the vertical surfaces better than the others. You tend to get streaking with the others as they are more liquid in...

I haven't found anything to take the green out of pressure treated wood...it's probably not Algae, but greening from the pressure treating process? Anybody have any luck getting this kind of greening up? Ap- preciate it! ------------------

Would like opinion on HOST dry cleaning method vs. steam? Thanks! ------------------

Whatever you buy, be careful if you're going to buy off of the net. If you do so, go with what these guys on the board recommend. I bought off the net and did get a cheaper price, but got no customer service. So, if you go local, there is someone there to complain or voice concerns to, but...

My brother-in-law is a "striper," does parking lots, ball fields, etc. I remember he told me on small areas he would charge by the linear foot and on big areas like parking lots/spaces, he'd even charge on a per space basis. Has forms he's built that he just lays out and sprays in between...

Thanks guys, Very low hours...bought late last season and about 10 jobs (mostly decks/fences). We've decided that's our niche and really it's too much to lug around. We simply don't need that much for the kind of jobs we're doing. Probably going to sell and downsize to something more...
