Dude you rock .. I gotta give you some compliments on the way you handle your biz .. Well done.

[@sandyb2391]

thanks for all the lil tips. i did my deck 8 years ago and didn't put vinyl down and is exposed to all weather. i did put a protective coat of paint and all but should have put vinyl for sure. so now going to take the patio floor apart and redo

[@susan770able]

Thank you for the video

[@roper4386]

Hi can you link the vinyl you used?

[@mitchgrady8037]

Wondering why you planed down the edges? I am assuming it is to create a recessed edge? Also, do you use a cant strip along the house or do you just put the vinyl behind the siding?

[@mikecraftsmancustombuilder3650]

I can't speak for all manufacturers but I believe cant strips aren't recommended these days -- shrinkage is a concern. You get the vinyl "finger tight" in the corner between the horizontal and vertical planes. And yeah the planing is just so you don't see the bump created by the thickness of the flashing.

[@johnal4560]

Would i be able to use BONDO for filling the gaps before gluing vinyl on my balcony or anything else since i live in Canada and cannot find this Ardex Feather here Also would i be able to install new vinyl on a plywood that previously had vinyl glued to and i removed the vinyl and sanding the plywood would that be ok thx

[@darrenrobillard9496]

Yes you can, might tear up some of the plywood slightly, but you can fill those areas no problem. In Canada we use thin set.

Now i wish I inset my fashing. That's a good idea.

@@mrfantum1 what does that mean? I'm new to this. Thanks!

[@susan770able]

Is that a router or a planer that you using to recess the ply ?

[@mrfantum1]

Planer

[@jameshaydel8262]

S/b a step down at the door so a driving rain doesn't get pushed into the house. Fatal error. Maybe a roof is going up, I don't know.

[@jeffico2361]

Can you use cement board instead?

[@mrfantum1]

No. It would would not have structural integrity to span the joists.

[@brucepollen2767]

what product is this, it installs like deck King ?

[@mrfantum1]

That's what it is

[@mikeledee8786]

What is the product you used to seal the seams? Thanks

[@mrfantum1]

The seams are sealed by heating the two surfaces an melting then together. Check video 'deck 3 seams'

[@mikeledee8786]

What I'm asking is what is that powder you were mixing with water

[@mrfantum1]

@@mikeledee8786 I'm sorry my mistake, I use a Ardex feather finish it is a leveling compound . You can use several other products as well but you would need to make sure that it is something that can be used in an exterior application. Ardex mrf is a good option.

[@jessicar0317]

What is the name of the border you using around the deck ? And what’s the name of Concrete you are using ?? I

can I use osb plywood for the base?

[@mrfantum1]

Not typically recommended. Plywood would be better. OSB can flake.

@@mrfantum1 thanks for the reply awesome works btw

[@tjgallo9357]

@@mrfantum1 totally agreed! Quick question, do you have any input on using marine grade ply and/or applying a sealant, or do you have any experience with breathing/expansion, etc. issues (it's on an exterior deck subfloor using a poly finish)?

Do you like get a whole bunch of footage and then sit and get it all upload it when I go to bed at like five videos for five videos today LOL, I would love to mention you in one of my videos and throw some subscribers your way could you do some excellent work and I would love to do what I can to send some people to your channel if that’s OK by you

[@mrfantum1]

iv been sitting on a whole pile of footage half edited. today was just the day to finish a few. I enough for a bunch more but they won't happen right away. . For Sure send them over. That would be great. I have been doing more time-lapse type stuff than the tutorial and tip style.

[@snakebitevenom5381]

This guy definitely does not know how to do it sufficiently. Take it from a 20+ year certified installer.

[@Rayram555]

Please get a qualified sheet metal company . Do not trust this method.

[@mattdavis9066]

Yeah he does . i invented outdoor viynl so I know more than you plus I have 21 years exp as a professionally ninja um viynl master . so beat it kid

[@tjgallo9357]

@snakebite venom, can you explain specifically what he's doing incorrectly? That would surely help support your comment and I'm very curious. THanks.

[@xiaodaodan3056]

你的视频挺好，但是没有任何文字提示让人莫名其妙。比如你给木板找平用的什么灰？不专业的人还是看不懂。你不是应当把材料包装袋给大家展示一下吗？

[@robertoswald1305]

Way too much work. There are easier systems.

[@connorcobitz9977]

He made it too much work I do this everyday

[@mattdavis9066]

No . you don't do this every day . no one does this every day if you did it every day you would be sleeping right now not watching this awesome video .
