Ron, Actually by volume. So if you do the math, it works out that you use 4 oz per gallon. If someone would use more is there a change that the oxalic acid would go the other way and interfere with the coating? Just wondering Thanks Tom

Just wondering what kind of solution everyone uses when mixing oxalic acid with water. I've talked to contractors that use 8 ounces with one gallon of water, which is basically a 6% solution. I think this is too high and could cause a problem with the finishing products. Any comments?

In my area there seems to be a lot of wooden fences being built. Next year I want to get involved in cleaning and finishing them. I've been a painter and deck finisher for years but I never really coated a fence. Is there a special way to price a fence? I know everyone has a different way...

Hey Guys, Just wanted to put in my two cents. I have been doing decks for years. 85% of my decks are coated with Wolman and Super deck . I have a business in Pennsylvania. I get the hot weather, cold weather and snow. I use Wolman and Super deck because their the only ones I found to protect...
