Wood Tux Wet, ( WTW ) 2 years old

[acegot]

Here is a pic of a WTW, WHG color deck 2 years old, full sun. I'm going to redo in Armstrong toner custom color.

[Beth n Rod]

For 2 years in full sun, it fared well.
The more recent versions aren't doing this well, so I was curious to see the results.
Since there is such a vast inconsistency in the formula being released to the end user, I would not recommend a wash and re-coat like in the past when we were very strong advocates of the product. I think your suggestion is a good one for your best interests but I would suggest making it a strip because it will not allow the Armstrong Clark to penetrate and set up leaving the product to sit on the surface and remain sticky. (been there done that)

Thanks for posting the pic!

I stripped it on Tues., sealed it yesterday. Cedar tone with a little cedar semi & some red tint added. Hopefully I'll get to sand it next time, the deck is only 4-5 yrs old, the homeowner p-washed herself after a year & carved it all up trying to get off 1yr old super-deck that was over applied & turned dark. The main deck isnt too bad, but the lower deck, not pictured is really tore up.

Lyle,

In your first picture above, that is a very interesting stain applicator. Do you have any further information or a link to a supplier?

Thats the Hurricane brush used with the Deckster sprayer. Good for those breezy, windy days. Deckster deck sprayer and accessories from Sun Brite Supply of Maryland

Yeah Rick, thought you knew about that one!
It's been out for a number of years now. We used to have one...

Hey Rod,

Yeah, heard of a Hurricane brush but never saw one. I assume you did not find it useful.

After we bough it, found it was not WTW friendly. WTW gummed it up. May work well with RS since it is non-drying. Broke on like the second use. They sent us a new part. Tried it again, then put it aside.

Have heard things about other types of brushes, and we love our airless sprayers.

It works very well once you dial in the pressure. The only thing I don't like about it is the size. Its too small for volume staining. Then again, it eliminates the time of dipping into a pan. You'd have to try it, Rick. I thought it did a great job of getting close to a structure without overspray.

What were you putting down Ken?

looks like something Bob could fabricate using larger 10" truck wash brushes

The brush kicked the bucket last year after a year of service so I am gonna say Wood Tux and Baker's since those are what I was using at the time.

18" would be even better.

Ive had mine for 3 or 4 years no problems, The only material I couldnt use it with was WTW, like Rod said it gummed up cause the stuff dried so fast. Works well with RS & AC.
It has a 9" brush on it, I buy the replacement "Quickie" brushes at Home depot & drill for the fittings & nozzles myself.
I thought about doing an 18", but would need to reinforce or make a new pole. It flexes what I would consider the limit now.

Must be nice to have that kind of time, I don't anymore, too busy trying to keep up with the weather.
I like tinkering myself, kinda miss it.
