I have worked with paint finishes for over 35 years. For decks, there is no better product than this! I had a client with a Ipe deck, the process would take 6-8 hrs and after having tried 3-4 different products over the years none of them lasted longer than 5 to 6 months. With this product I’m in and out in an hour and a half and lasts full year in New England climate.
