Deck refinishing recommendations?

[twitchyfinger]

I do but am too tired to get into and explain and am headed to bed soon but short version is thompsons is some if the worst out there might as well use water as for most of the other stuff big box stores and hardware stores sell. Cabot is about the only thing they sell I would use in a pinch. I just stained my cabin this summer and used Armstrong Clark cedar on it with great results and yes you have to order it. Check out the sealer store they have many excellent brands and also a forum where there is great info from the pros! Also sanding is the worst thing you can do to restore a deck. There are many chemical strippers, brighteners and neutralizers out there that work much better. Check out the website and forum and you'll have to do your homework as to what will work best for your application.
