They charge for two applications, but only deliver one. React accordingly. Life really isn't all that complicated in most cases. Don't over analyze. Well, I did not pay them a dime yet. I will pay them when they put a second coat. In other words, your opinion is that I will benefit from the second coat, right? Not exactly. The stuff they use IS a penetrant. I've used it on my deck for years. Even with one coat, if you get too much on, and the deck has been previously done, it will puddle and not penetrate. And it WILL be slicker than owl **** if it does that. The deck was never done before. i But, the point is, if you look at *most* cans of deck sealer, they will tell you to 1. NOT let the stuff puddle, 2. not to do two coats, unless done in a certain time frame. In other words, if the first coat has been there too long, the second coat will not penetrate. It's just doing what it's supposed to do, and that is preventing moisture from getting in the wood. On my can, it says IF you want to second coat, to do so immediately after the first coat soaks in. |
