    White latex caulk

    Hey Tuna, I would first try "stripsol" it works well on most latex products, or I would sand it. If you want stripsol call sunbrite 770-277-6363 it's like $25.00 bucks a gallon (not cheap) but works pretty well. sanding is cheaper and never fails. good luck Chris Detter/ Sunbrite

    How to get rid of the Green top layer on wolmanized deck

    Hi Tim, I would go with your first impulse, using a bleach soultion followed with a neutralizer. Be sure the wood is dry before sealing, as long as the wood has cured you'll be OK. Good luck Chris

    knots on cedar wood

    Hey Tom We use Ready Seal on all our decks, When we do cedar decks we add mineral sprits(Paint thinner) to the sealer it helps the knots absorb the sealer deeper and tends to look better and last longer, Chris@ sunbrite
