Ready Seal

[krpalex]

Anybody ever have any customers calling a week after sealing with ready seal natural cedar saying they are tracking an oily residue in their home, I just need to know what to tell them, I have noticed this on several decks this year but this is the first one to mention it, they are very happy otherwise. Thank You in advance.

This is a big Fenner Beef with this product - good luck!

It's not the product. Your putting to much on. Anything that doesn't sink in has to be wiped off.Any product not absorbed by the wood remains where?

Have heard about this from others for years....

Ralph,

Congrats! You may be one of the few that put too much Ready Seal in wood. Most just wing it with wood moisture, and quickly spray or god forbid, use a stain pad or roll the stain onto the wood.

How are you prepping the wood? Can make a large difference in the final staining.

Are these decks cedar? WRC takes much less paraffinic oil than regular old SYP.

We ask our customers to allow 48 hours after final staining before walking or using their deck. In 7 years of using Ready Seal, have not had a complaint.

over application, most imortant part to an oil based is very dry wood!

Rick,
If you don't spray, pad, or roll, how do you apply RS? Just pour it on, lol?

Mike,

We flood the wood with a Decker 5'er HLVP at 30-50 PSI, usually twice, and backbrush. Will also use 14" or 18" soft truck brushes and a wide oblong bucket for the floor. Depends on the wood.
