Cedar Deck Prep

.

















































Project: 1000 sqft2 of Cedar Decking
Challenge: Grit Pad Sand aged surface/brighten and restain
Replace Deck Boards/Top Rail


Here we are prepping a deck with Cedar Restorer after sanding
to brighten up the Western Red Cedar colour. Our biggest challenge
was the balcony balustrades - they took 7hrs of hand profiling
and chemical cleaning but look at them now !

More pics to follow once staining is complete ;)

We went from 36 Grit Pad to a final Sand with 80 Grit as
Sikkens recommends. We moisture meter tested and got
a decent reading of 9% during the week of June 14th.

This deck took 19 hrs of belt sanding and
treatment cleaning to get it coating ready ;) We always aim

for a furniture quality finish and this is very possible with

Sikkens SRD. We even replaced a badly splintered board

for 25.00.

Special thanks to Janice for the assist - J & B for the lead
and of course the homeowner Arlene.
