Old NASTY Deck Wood Stain - Cabot Deck Correct

[@pittsbirds1656]

I bought 2 5 gallon buckets for my 800sq foot deck and was able to apply 3 liberal coats. It worked wonders!

[@alnaturalemomma]

The instructions say two coats and to go in one direction for one and a second in the other. I plan to do mine this weekend. I’ve spent the last 2 days pulling up boards in bad shape and repairing here and there. It’s already been painted with deck correct about 4 years ago by previous owners and it’s been great until this year. I plan on getting another 3 years out of it.

[@HowTowithDoc]

Ours is still looking good

[@12799MaDeuce]

Friend of mine bought a house with a ~30 year old deck. Structurally sound but showing its age. We spent a lot of time pressure washing, sanding, and otherwise prepping it. We applied a single coat of Deck Correct to the deck. 2+ years later, it's holding up great! I'm genuinely surprised and impressed with it. They'll easily get many more years of use out of that deck. We're actually adding a 2nd coat later this year just to help prolong the life of the finish, but it still looks great even with just 1 coat.

[@davidfileccia6317]

It's made to be used with 2 coats. Per the directions

[@scottcarr2871]

I have been putting that kind of stuff on my deck for years. This year I went out and got wood filler for the cracks came out even better

[@robertlark10]

Have tried behr deck over with similar outcome. Awesome product.

[@explorermike19]

IMO, Behr stain is junk. I used it and it peeled off in sheets within a month.

[@sandybuchanan3479]

I love this. I am getting that tomorrow at Lowe's. THANKS

[@SolidNitrox]

Man I just partially finished my deck right now, you tell no lies sir. This stuff is thick and it fills in all the cracks, I had to use a brush like that on pole, I swear it took me 8 hours with both coats...I needed double what I thought an went back to buy a total of 5 gallons, should have just bought the big bucket.... Lessons learned. 😅

[@Random_Innovation]

The previous owners used deck correct on my their deck before I purchased the property. I definitely was fooled!

[@majorrager6643]

Did it work though, or is it all just peeling & bad looking now?

[@anthonybacon7073]

They sell specific rollers for that type of product. It has more open nap to it. Applies a thicker coat. I use a brush on my deck, but it’s much smaller.

[@explorermike19]

@@anthonybacon7073 cabots recommends a 3/8" nap

[@brendasoldan1323]

Thank you!

[@jessj4511]

Hows it holdong up after 1 year?

[@jimmybgocards]

Great video! I’m looking for a solution like this and you’ve taught me a lot. I don’t want to replace my deck. Thanks so much!

[@johnultimate1161]

Any follow up on the dock??

[@HowTowithDoc]

All good 1.5 years later

[@JW-lo2bh]

Great product. Imused it several years ago and used a paint sprayer. No runs or drips and it filled in all the cracks. Using a sprayer requires more product, but it worked really well.

[@karlhass9350]

It's a workout! I wanted the roller to work, but we went through the can so fast with roller and then brushing cracks. I'd also hit it in the evening, take a temp gun and wait for the deck to drop into the 80's, so that stain has nearly 16 hrs before it gets hit with full sun and can dry slowly and really sink into those boards or you will be back scraping in a couple yrs. The former owners did 1 coat about 2 yrs ago of some solid stain and had nearly all cracked off. Take the time, hit the weather right, do all the prep and instructions or you will be back doing it again. If we did screw up, I don't care how much composite boards cost, thats happening.

[@willi4ftramhagans303]

Seems like two layer roller would do the trick then.

[@Tazzyone.]

Looks amazing. I was just contemplating on doing mine with the opaque stain I usually use.

[@explorermike19]

I would replace the rotton boards. If you are going through the trouble of putting lipstick on it, you might as well do it right.

[@HowTowithDoc]

One year later and the PIG is still looking great. The POINT... was not to replace but temp fix.

[@explorermike19]

@HowTowithDoc that is great news. I am staining my deck right now with Cabots deck correct and hoping it will last. Do you have much peeling or other troubles?

[@anthonybacon7073]

I’ve used Restore deck coating. Same concept. Put old deck boards in my utility trailer and painted them with it and their still doing good 8 plus years later. Deck boards were older than that.

[@nawtyshygirl6468]

Beautiful color

[@mitchtucker5768]

I knew that brushing wasn’t gonna last long 😂😂

[@PilotEJ401]

No disrespect, but this is a 2 COAT product. That is very clearly spelled out. That said great video, helped me get my deck done with no issues! Very satisfied with this...

[@Kolana42]

Great Video! I want to get one or two more years out of my deck and this is a perfect solution! Thank you!

[@anthonymrbs]

Is this similar to the Behr Deckover? I used that on mine and a few years later many of the planks had rotted out and I had to pull them out and replace them. Over the last several months I have been killing myself trying to get as much as I can of it off my deck but it has been a slow hard process. I am planning to just use a sold stain this time and see what happens. My deck is 27 years old so probably only has a few years left no matter what I do.

[@joeyboyle9482]

Using the wrong roller

[@GigiEmbrechts]

Directions says put one thin coat let dry 4 hours then apply another coat.

[@taranson3057]

I use Messmer’s UV plus Mission Oak which looks more like a walnut color. If Cabot has a similar walnut color I may have to try Cabot deck correct stain on the next go round.

[@adamghazal9204]

Thanks Doc

[@scottcarr2871]

Beautiful waterfront Deck

[@DMUSA536]

I’ve used this before and it didn’t last.

[@davids5006]

That's what I was wondering

[@MrGermany18]

Quick question: is your Bermuda at the old house also getting red tips? This night time temperature is killing me.

[@HowTowithDoc]

Not yet... but I think keeping it short is helping.

[@mebadwow]

How easy is it to power wash this to add new stain?

[@TraumaChaplain]

I saw that and I'm wondering how it compared to that Kong armor coating? Ever heard of it?

[@bradmcnulty8264]

The dock was it previously stained with latex or oil based?

[@HowTowithDoc]

Years of everything... but we pressure washed most of it off. Video on channel

[@UncommonSense131]

Is this oil based or water based?

[@HowTowithDoc]

Water based

[@WhittyPics]

I have seen some epoxy paint that is about like that. Maybe a second coat will fill those cracks in better?

[@RT-Ford]

No prep work.....WOW!

[@ts6640]

Where is the promised ‘pressure washer’ video? Was supposed to have been released to days after the airing of this one……..perhaps I misunderstood?

[@DavidSmith-vx3mq]

Double coat doc

[@gregorydean2292]

Give Brian a pre-roll, have them take a brush and start at the end of the dock and fill all those cracks Have him take wood putty and fill the missing chunks out of the deck wood and then paint it. I don't see any value in that really thick Cabot brush. Don't you think just a regular Big brush would do?. Les paint in the brush and more paint on the deck

[@scottcarr2871]

Doc its called Lipstick on a Pig ! Only problem in cold climate where I live in upstate Finger Lakes NY I have to put a new coating and touch up main deck every year.

[@cindyeastbourn7642]

Wood filler

[@scottcarr2871]

Cabot makes quslity paint for sure folks
