Old NASTY Deck Wood Stain - Cabot Deck Correct

Our Website →
Doc applies Deck Correct to the old wood deck / dock. The wood id old, cracked, rotting, and needs to be replaced. However using the Deck Correct it saves the dock for a good year or two and greatly improves the look.

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.

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

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

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!

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. 😅

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

[PilotEJ]

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...

[robertlark]

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

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

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

[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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
