    I am going to use Ready Seal and I have seen Baker's Gray Away product work too But since I am a part timer I can't get Baker's because of the distance. Ethan, what about the locals since I am here in dfw area? would the price be the same?

    I use Deckscapes because I can get it locally. I don't have the funds to order pallets of stain for the season and I don't like depending on vendors to send me stain as I need it, I've had trouble in the past with that crap. Much easier to go to SW grab what I need and go. If I run low on a job, not a problem go get more.

    I have used Wood -Tux and was very pleased with the looks and how easy it was to apply. I recommend it to all my clients.

    I use Wood Tux, there's nothing like the beauty of it. I know there are other stains that are "goof proof" and you can apply them quicker, but they just don't give the look of Wood Tux, nor do they last as long. The thing about Wood Tux is it's actually cheaper to use in the long run, because of the coverage rate. If you're in business to beautify wood then there's no other choice. I am confident that when I apply Wood Tux the wood will be beautiful and will last and the customer will be pleased.

    We stripped WTW from Ipe (our test tiles) last week. (This stain has been on since March but has had very very little weather exposure so was pretty darn intact) We were provided some of Flood's new stripper/cleaner so tried it. It took about a 25 minute dwell time at full strength, also keeping it consistently wet. That product did remove about 99% - did fuzz a bit, but a light osborning took care of that and the remaining pigment.

If you decide to go with Ready Seal for your own deck, contact ACR Products, Easton PA - Power Washers, Waste Heaters, and Supplys. acrproducts.com and tell them Beth sent you. They are the closest dealer I know of to you off the top of my head. Back to my coffee...

    Wood Defender and RS

    I use both Wood defender and Ready seal, and both look good at first, but most wood we do need re-aplication in 1-3 years, wood defender lightens the most where as Ready seal keeps it orig. color for 1-2 years, I wish I could find a product that would last at least 3 years before maint is needed, I always have to apply 2 coats on horiz surfaces, even with Wood Tux, If I knew wood tux would look just as good in 3 years on horizontal surfaces as the day I appled it I would switch stains in a heart beat, Does Wood Tux Wet offer a 3 year warranty on horiz surfaces, before a maint wash and recoat is needed..??? every 3 years or more, and thats using 2 coats on Horiz surfaces..? if so sign me up... I use thousands of gallons a year of the other 2 I mentioned... WD and RS..???

    Mark,

    1. Of the three you listed, a shurflo would be best. RS has the viscosity just a hair thicker than water.

    2. I do not think so. But their manufacuring plant is in the Ft. Worth area, so shipping quickly should not be a problem. Call them tomorrow.

    3. Maybe the Old Farmers Almanac should be consulted.
