She wants it to be restored to functionality but to still look like her grandfater made it. I think this mixture of yours may be just the thing to use!

@Original_Old_Farmer 2 жыл бұрын

You must have seen my deck. It depends on how bad the wood is. It should help to some degree. It depends on how bad the wood actually is and if the effort should be used toward replacing the deck. Although, with the price of wood, an additional year may be worth it.

@mssavedin92 2 ай бұрын

Great information, thank you. Do you think the mixture would fare well if applied to pressure treated deck boards..?

@Original_Old_Farmer 2 ай бұрын

I would let the wood dry out before applying. As an example we had a patio deck added to our house with pressure treated decking last fall. We want it painted, but we are waiting until later in this spring to have it painted. So if the deck has been drying for a season, I wouldn't think there would be a problem. But just for a bit of insurance, check the moisture content on the bottom of the deck if it has already been installed. If it is still lumber and has been sitting in your garage for a season, it should be fine. Since I don't know where you live there are all the qualifications of your climate. Also, if you are doing several coats, let it dry for at least a few days between coats. The goal is not convenience but making the wood last as long as possible. It wouldn't hurt to add a fresh coat every year. I will be replacing some of the raised bed boards either this year or next year and that is with dirt piled against one side of the wood. So if I replace this year, it will be seven years. If I replace next year it will be eight years. Not all of the boards need replacing. I hope this will guide you where you want to be. Be safe.

@saramitchell7722 2 ай бұрын

I’ve been doing research on what type of finish/stain/etc. on our new deck we have built out the back door and around the hillbilly pool. I’ve decided to stay away from the stains cause of the eventual peel. I came across articles/videos suggesting the linseed oil methods and I’m definitely leaning that way. I live in north central Texas and get all the varieties of seasons but mostly summer 😂. Particularly to the deck around the pool area, would using the linseed method be wise? I wouldn’t want an oil sheen in the water. Additionally, you mentioned letting pressure treated lumber age a bit before applying. What would be a rough amount of wait being located in my area where we have 100+ degree days for several months of the year.

@Original_Old_Farmer 2 ай бұрын

@@saramitchell7722 Part of it is how wet the lumber is from being treated. The dryer the wood, the more this mixture can be absorbed into the wood. If the deck is already built, give it a couple of weeks, at least to dry out. Then I would put at least two coats on with a few days in between. You shouldn't get a sheen on the deck after drying or anything in the water if applied with some care. Since you could bake bread on the deck in the summer time, keep an eye on how the deck looks, you may want to apply an extra coat later in the summer. Then maybe once a year. Once it has cure, this is different than drying, you should have no problems. Don't forget your sun screen. Be safe.

Hope this works - We lived on a lake that lowered the Lake Level once in the spring so we could paint the break wall. I had a half can (half gallon) of Thompson’s Cement and Concrete Preservative left over from another project. Took the 2 quarts of Thompson’s Cement Preservative and added the 1 quart of brownish red ‘Solvent Based’ Paint. Also 1 quart of Mineral Spirits. We painted the break wall as usual but the following year, the paint was still like a new / fresh coat so we didn’t paint again that year. Thing is, we were there 5 more years and it was as fresh as the day we applied it 5 years earlier. Huh ! Weird ? Ok,, So,, At the cabin we built an out house and 2 hunting shacks. The first 2 were of an off colored blue leftover ‘Solvent Based’ Paint. The 3rd shack was of a quart of Green ‘Solvent Based’ Paint. Mixed all three the same way. But, with one difference - For the wood shacks we used Thompson’s Wood Preservative’ as apposed to the Cement Preservative like we did on the Cement Block Breakwall. [ 2 parts Thompsons, 1 part Mineral Spirits, 1 Part ‘Solvent Based’ Paint] Only differences between the two materials are - For wood, use the Thompson’s Wood preservative and for Cement we use the Thompson’s Cement Preservative. This was a lot thinner than paint and worked well in a deck sprayer. Also, a thin paint / stain sinks into the wood fibers and creates a better adhesion than a thick skin-like paint over the wood. If you like it real dark, just put a second coat over the first. This paint takes a long time to dry and you can smell it in an outhouse for example for weeks and weeks. But, I see a picture of the new owners holding up a fish for a picture and in the back ground is the outhouse I painted 32 years ago as of November ‘2022’. P.S. if you have time to clean the sprayer tips / nozzles with mineral spirits you will need to do a thorough cleaning job in order to save the sprayer for future use.

Thompsons waterseal is a very poor product ,it could really have been made a better product for the market by adding paraffin wax ..however that thickens the watery consistency of the product making it a little harder to penetrate deep into the pores of the wood. This can be circumvented by warming up the solution to round 120 degrees .. and dont try this during the cold months in order to get a deeper penetration .. termites have a habit of tunneling up thru the center of fence posts and other blocks of wood supporting structures ..so it is important to get thew wood that is on the ground also .Once termites and wood ants are in the subfloors of a barn or house they are extremely difficult to get rid up .

Try using pH up and make sure the pH of your water is above 10. Put the water in a spray bottle and that will do the trick. Bleach is basically the same thing, never trusted it really however

I'm looking at ways to seal T1-11 plywood siding that will be on a shed. After applying this formula, can it be painted?

@Original_Old_Farmer 10 ай бұрын

The concern I would have is that the paraffin wax might cause the paint to peel. If you have the time, you might do a test piece. The other idea is treat this fall and then paint next spring. If you do this, let all of us know how it did go. Good luck and stay safe.

That's good! I was so very impressed with your informative and humble video. I am a beginning woodworker who recently invested the entirety of my savings into woodworking to follow my dream of being independent. I'm working with pine and Cedar for outdoor furniture and I'm looking for the best advice for protecting it with the least amount of maintenance for the customer. I'm currently using a spar oil but in considering other options that don't require sanding to maintain over the years. If you have any suggestions please do let me know.

@@Original_Waterboy I wish you well on your endevuor. For many of your products that you offer, this finish will work well for outdoor furniture. Are there better finishes available, yes; but cost and environmental considerations may take them outside of your price range when selling furniture. As a possibility, make up a gallon of this wood preservative, or whatever volume that is appropriate, and sent it along with the piece you sell as the first refinishing is on you. consider including various pigments in the finish to offer different types of look. Make sure you write down your recipe in order to replicate it in the future. The wood working I do is mostly for family, such as cutting boards. I always send some finish to help keep it in good shape. This is a different mixture that would not work for outdoors. Also, remember that many woods will turn to a grey or other unappealing color, so tint will be important. This is why pine is an excellent choice, based upon the hue it takes as it ages. Cherry is another wood that ages well for how it looks. As for cedar it's good for outdoor furniture but the color as it ages in not the best, so maybe help it with a bit of tint to keep it looking good. As for running a business find a niche and create as much product that is easy to turn out so that you keep an income flowing, that is your calling card for folks to come back to you for your more expensive pieces and possibly custom work. Whatever you do, don't under-sell yourself. You either make a profit or it's not worth doing commercially. Be safe.

Can you substitute beeswax for the paraffin?

@Original_Old_Farmer 11 ай бұрын

Yes you can. Parafin is artificial beeswax. The only difference is beeswax is much more expensive than parafin. If you got beehives, it would be worth doing. Be safe.

@randallmarsh446 8 ай бұрын

i wouldnt see why not..other than bees wax is biodegradable more than parrifin would be ..assuming that only because beeswax is a product made made by a living organism. such as the fat off animals and pigs used for lard.

I thought mineral spirits were toxics

@Original_Old_Farmer 5 ай бұрын

Good question! First of all don't drink the stuff. How it becomes safe (debatable with organics) is to let it cure. This is more than letting it dry. Give it a couple of weeks to cure. You have to judge whether it's safe enough to use. I think most people think it will be. Again, you have to decide for your self. Most products when cured, not just dry, are usable. Again, it's your call. But the key is in the curing. If you are going to apply to raised bed already installed, I would pull the dirt away from the wood and brush the wood clean, maybe cover the dirt with plastic and then paint and let it be this way for about two weeks, then move the dirt back into place. The curing process allows the volitile components to evaporate. When they are gone it is considered cured. I hope this helps. Be safe.

@LS-kg6my 5 ай бұрын

@@Original_Old_Farmer thanks so much for the insight on curing. I have garden blocks with slots for wood. I was going to buy untreated pine and treat the boards with linseed oil before assembling. I can definitively let them cure for a few weeks before assembling! Makes good sense! Thanks

Word of advice ... I would not use the Noah Bradley Wood sealer on raised vegetable planters! Do your homework and check the ingredients on these "preservative"...they are saturated with chemicals! I use RAW Linseed Oil or Tung oil which are natural and chemical free. I shivered when I viewed the gentleman rolling on the Noah preservative. I'm sure its ok on non-food projects. Please be cautious on the advise you give.

@Original_Old_Farmer 11 ай бұрын

That's a good caution. If you are careful with some of these ingrediants, if they cure, they are actually food safe. Not all, but many. But you are right, read the ingrediants. If it's not on the label get the Safety Data Sheet (SDS), or Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). Thanks for the reminder. Be safe.

@peregrinesteller 8 ай бұрын

Mineral spirits are fine for raised beds, it just helps the linseed oil penetrate the wood , and parafin is canning wax. What’s your objection exactly, or are you just spouting off ignorantly?

@randallmarsh446 8 ай бұрын

i would recomend using linenseed oil an dparrafin mix for those who are planning to use wood for raised gardens avoiding the contamination of chemicals.
