Deck Refinish. "6 times thicker than paint."
Dried mix (includes Aluminum Oxide) for filling cracks in wood and traction. Mix with water and "Tint." Applied with a 3/8" nap roller.
Got a screaming good deal on about 8 buckets. (Each bucket, will "double coat 100sq. ft.") I can grab a couple more if need be. (Think I will in order to be safe on coverage.)
Two questions:
#1, Has anyone used this?
#2, What type of "Tint," is used to mix in with a water based coating?
Thanks in advance.

Why Yes, yes he could.
How silly of me. :P :x
I believe I would give that a second thought. If the paint starts flaking over time it'll look worse than oil stains. Then there's no way you can ever go back bare concrete because you'll never be able to get all the paint up.
Or, you could properly prep the floor, coat it, and not have to worry about it in the future.
Anybody?
In a museum it would be perfect. In a working shop.....hope you have the money and time to constantly patch and repair.
Well that is disappointing to hear.
Thanks for the post.
(Pressure treated pine.) The ideal scenario is to rip it all off and build a deck properly. This one has too many issues to save I am afraid. Getting a couple more years out of it would be okay.
Yep that's what they tell you in the advertisements. To bad it doesn't work.

After 30 years you ARE an expert.
I always tell people that look to coat concrete floors to think like the concrete is a living
thing. It "sweats. pees, shittts, and moves". Nothing put on concrete that IS used, will last long.
For decking, I just use a stain with no "coatings". You can re-stain right over it when it fades or changes.
The pressure treated wood has two types of grain, one soft an one almost glass hard on the same board.
Nothing solid sticks to the hard grain very long.
Maker and first time users think it is the finest thing since sliced bread and it is for a short while.
Hope it works for ever.
Thank you for your input.
I appreciate all information presented.
The plant where I worked put it down in several areas. The concrete has to be extensively prepped, but after 30 + years it never cracked or deteriorated. In machine shops, production areas, etc where heave stuff was rolled and maneuvered 24/7, it would barely scratch.
It?s very expensive and not available to the general public.
