Great stuff, probably wouldn't sand to such a high grit, 80-120 so the oil actually "penetrates into the deck" 😌 Also, if you didn't clean all the grey out and just clear coated.. with a penetrative oil like the cutek, the grey is meant to return!

[@shaneelson]

Love that Cutek oil. I'm right in the middle of redecking the back deck and recycling some of the boards onto a new 'retreat' area. Gunna flip the old decking boards and hit 'em with the sander before laying them and oiling. We clad part of the front and back of the house with horizontal bamboo, 135mm deck boards, 20mm spacing, in front of black painted cement sheet (with a 3mm spacer running vertical on every stud). The east side gets washed and re-oiled every 12 months. The west side, every six (we're about 500 metres from Westernport Bay, looking towards the Mornington Peninsula so that side cops all the weather). The back takes about an hour to do and twice that when I wash it (once a year). The east side, front, takes twice that long and gets washed every couple of years (when the spider population gets outa control 🤣🤣). The deck is a two day affair if the weather is OK and the dog isnt digging holes and deciding to show us his treasures 🤣🤣 I just enjoy looking at how the oil makes everything pop. Great job Shane. I know your pain re. 'tennis elbow' except mine is 'softball shoulder' 🤣🤣😷. Sit back, enjoy a 🍺 and admire your handy work 👍

[@diyforknuckleheads]

[@diyforknuckleheads]

G'day Ben....yeah l love the grey look as well but in an effort to extend the life of the timber l needed to re-coat it. When l built it, l oiled it. It needs doing every year or so which really isn't a very big job and it looks good. I'm actually about to redo all the decks in a week or so....just in time for summer. Cheers 😁

[@diyforknuckleheads]

😂...Cheers Ryno....mate the timber is called Tonka. I love it. It doesn't leach which is awesome so you can have them on your nice exposed ag concrete driveway and you can get a fairly large post that isn't laminated, and cracking is minimal....and l mean minimal! The only drawback is that it's incredibly dense which makes it very heavy and it's like chiseling steel as l found out erecting the deck 😂 Thanks for watching mate 👍😁🇦🇺

Love the videos. I have a flooring question for you. I have a hardwood floor with double sided carpet tape on that I need to remove. I used to live in the US and we had a product there called Murphy’s Oil Soap that would get it up and not harm the floors. Do you have any recommendations on products here in Australia or a way to safely remove the tape residue? Thanks. Milton

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Thanks Milton! In regard to the tape residue, try Planet Ark's "Orange Power". It's worth a crack and you can get it from Woolies or Coles. Good luck 👍😁🇦🇺

[@b-gill9224]

How do you keep from getting sanding marks? I tried sanding my fence and it left circles all over.

[@user-jh2vz4mz8y]

The final looking turns out awesome. Did you apply clear oil or add the colourtone to the oil?

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Thanks mate!....It was just an oil based clear decking oil without any colour tone added 👍👍

[@CommonSenseAdult]

Nice work, love cutek even here in Canada 🇨🇦 in our harsh winters. Do you remember what colour tone you added to the oil? Or was it just clear coat? Oiling my deck this week again. Second time using cutek, first time was clear with rustic gold added.

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Thanks mate.....I didn't add any colour tone....just clear. The only issue with clear is that you need to oil it more often if you want to retain the vibrant colour 👍

[@iska1978]

need Uncle Knacker pro tip of getting his family back into the house after putting the decking oil.. did he toss em like footy thru the window?

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Hahahahahahaha....had em' in a tent for a couple of days 😂

[@nejdro1]

It is a mistake to sand a deck with fine sandpaper, especially with a power sander. This actually seals the grain of the wood and prevents oil from fully penetrating into the wood. I would us nothing finer than a 100 grit. Many manufactures of deck finishes would say nothing finer than 80 grit.I do agree with using an oil finish, rather than any of the water based products. this is imperative with the harder decking woods such as ipe or mahogany.

[@isitlaw2919]

Correct , I use 50 grit light pressure and BAMB! DONE and it works well !

[@imackulas]

I thought of that one too😅

[@johnlocke3481]

what is the wood? Its beautiful.

[@tranger4579]

Great info! Greetings from Texas.

[@oliviergrandjean1918]

Great video! Did you use the Cutek Extreme as it comes (clear) or did you add one of their colourtones?

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Thanks Olivier! Mate l just used the clear Cutek Extreme without any colour tone. I just liked that look.If you want to make the finish last longer, adding a colour will achieve that 👍😁🇦🇺

[@JillofAllTrades2]

What wood did you use? It’s GORGEOUS!

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Hi. The wood is called Tonka.....l love it! It doesn't leach tannins which is the curse of hardwood decking....It's very stable and you can buy a large solid post that isn't laminated and has very little cracking....if any....for a large post. Thanks for watching 👍👍😁🇦🇺

[@f.demascio1857]
