We take a look at the difference between applying an oil based coating or a solid coating such as paints, stains and urethanes to your timber.
The results are remarkable, proving that oil based coatings are the only way to truly protect your timber long term.

My father was a carpenter, builder and cabinet maker. One of his many wisdoms passed down to me was NEVER use a water based deck stain on outside timber, it will always curl and peel away as per your video. He advised always use an OIL based deck stain on horizontal surfaces, the oil will penetrate the timber deck and last twice as long as water based 'stains'. After 2 - 3 years of oil based stain, if recoating is necessary, no sanding just a quick spray with a pressure washer , let dry and recoat. Tip when recoating, angle your brush slightly each way between decking boards so the edges receive the necessary cover. Late post I know but hope it helps someone. P.S. I have 22 year old Merbau timber decking on an outside patio, have just finished its fourth coat 11/20 in that time. It has come up as good as when it was laid. John

yep, oil will replace the water and wont evaporate. shaded timber will last a long time, but anything that gets sun will get hotter than the ambient temperature and lose even more moisture

loose 5 mm due to sanding ? dial it up :) i restore decks for a living - no chance in hell we are removing 5 mm even using 36 grit belts to start with.... your product has a time and a place but quiet tricky to navigate the weather in Melbourne with it. Water based sealers allow us to do the dance twice a year and look great.

Incorrect. Using a fine grit sand paper will create a mill glaze effect (google it) and reduce the wood pore size. This will prevent the stain (latex or oil) from properly absorbing into the wood and will result in premature stain failure. Never pressure wash and avoid sanding deck boards if at all possible. If necessary, lightly sand using a 60 grit (or 80 max) sand paper to create a rougher wood finish. Allow the deck boards to weather a few months after sanding so the wood pores open up again. Then apply a wood cleaner and brightener. These chemicals will help preserve the wood pores and are the correct method for preparing the deck boards for staining. Go with an oil based stain (avoid latex on horizontal surfaces) but be prepared to chemically clean, possibly brighten and apply a fresh coat of oil stain annually if you wish to maintain a nice looking deck.

@@calluma8472 its ok but never should be blasting decks as it rips open the timber providing places for mold and mildew to grow. We usually advise clients to only use a 25 degree fan setting, only use a 2000 PSI machine or less and keep the tip 1 foot away. The chemicals and or sanding should be doing the bulk of the recovery. There is no right time to blast a deck.

Don't use acrylic deck stains. The first time you put it down, you committed yourself to drudgery. And it will peel every year as the wood expands and contracts and it doesn't have the elasticity of oil. It does not penetrate the wood. Steer clear of 100 % acrylic. Not good to get involved with.

I've never tried oil, but I am hating the paint stripping I'm doing right now on our severely peeling deck we've painted 10 years ago. Once it's off, I'm doing oil now, to try it out. I don't want to have to peel or sand again.

the stain "that was" sold in hardware stores which required turpentine for clean up were very user friendly and would absorb into the wood. Yes they required maintenance over time but they didn't peel like the water-based acrylic latex products they offer today that just cover the surface and then peel after a short time (if exposed to sun, rain, and snow)
