Wood finish question

[Wish-I-Were-Fishn]

Somebody told me they saw a commercial during a ballgame for a wood deck product that seals the deck and makes the wood like new. Does anybody know what it is?

Probably the new Rustoleum Deck Restore. It is basically just a super thick paint that fills small cracks and voids to smooth out the surface. IMO It is basically a bandaid for an old deck and won't fix a deck that is beyond repair. And should not be used as a substitute for regular preventive maintenance like staining and sealing.

If it were my deck, pressure treated deck boards are not all that expensive, I would rather have a deck that I know is safe and looks good, than one that could have a weak spot and look like you globbed ten gallons of paint on.

There are a few different brands of this type of product. I have seen commercials for a product by Behr and there looks to be at least a couple of others.

I have never used any of them, there are some videos on YouTube showing different brands.

They do look interesting.
