nasty deck.

Hello everyone tis the season and here we go starting off with a good one. Please take a look at the pictures and give me some suggestions. No idea what brand of product is on there. just know that its not oil. I was going to pass on this but then I thought why? If I am to expand my horizons and try and really restore decks, there are plenty like this. And by doing these Oil can not be my only option my thoughts where to sand the floor as best I can with my machine and then add another product.. thinking latex is out. not interested in the restore products, so that leaves acrylic. anyone got any ideas?

Steve,

What does the customer want the finished results to look like? Do they want to see wood grain?

If they want to see wood grain once you're finished, You are really limited with your procedures. JMO, No Latex products.

If they don't care about seeing wood grain, Clean as best as you can, sand down any suspect areas and apply a solid color.

I use to strip and refinish a lot of decks back in the early 2000's and used deck strippers from Sherwin Williams and it worked decent.

All the best,
Mike

He is fine with a solid knowing that it would be cost prohibitive to strip it all. I am trying to find one of the better / best product to put over an unknown product. now don't laugh at my editing skills but I want it to look kinda like this.
