Woodrich Wood Decking Stripper

I have a pressure treated deck that was several years old and it was starting to look drab due to the years of weathering it had. I did not want to replace the deck but thought I would like to attempt to strip it and re coat it to help make it look as new as possible. I was searching around the Internet and came across a product from Woodrich called EFC-38 which apparently works on all types of wood species such as pressure treated, cedar and even exotic hardwoods like Ipe, Cumaru and Tigerwood. This product is granular and you mix it in a 5 gallon pale of water and then you can apply with a power washer on low pressure and then spray it on and leave it for a few minutes and then spray it off. I was unsure how this product would work for my weathered deck that had never been cleaned so I also purchased the HD-80 which is a heavy duty stripper. I was advised to purchase along with this product the brightener which is to be applied after your stripper is used. This product is called Citralic ,Citralic is pH balanced to make the ideal neutralizer for HD-80 and other caustic strippers. I was very happy with the results I achieved with these products and would suggest you visit www.myocstore.com for further information.

Otter Creek is a leading distributor of decking accessories in Canada. It carries a product from Woodrich that Canadian homeowners and contractors can apply to their hardwood decking such as Ipe, Cumaru and Tigerwood. The product is called “Hardwood Wiping Stain” and the colors are suited towards the natural color pigments found in Ipe, Cumaru and Tigerwood.  The Ipe formula is called “Amaretto” and when applied it enhances the natural color of Ipe. The other formula they carry is called “Brown Sugar” and when applied to Cumru or Tigerwood it enhances the natural color tone of these two species.  The product is  carried in 1 gallon and 5 gallon sizes.  Two gallons will do 500sqft of deck surface, four gallons will do 500-1000sqt of deck surface and five gallons will do 1000sqft to 1500sqft of deck surface. This product will normally last tow years between coats depending on the consumers preference to final appearance. If you apply each year it will provide a better appearance than if applied every other year. What is nice about this product is it will not peel or flake. Otter Creek  performed numerous longevity tests of the product prior to bringing the product on.

Woodrich Hardwood Finishing Kit

Woodrich Hardwood Finishing Kit. I used it on my Ipe deck and I liked the results. If you buy the “kit” it provides you the cleaner, brightener and the finishing product. Most homeowners do not realize that their deck is dirty after supplier storage, transportation and construction of the deck and it needs to be cleaned and brightened before applying the finishing product. The cleaning and brightener product is granular and comes in 2lb and 10lb sizes. You simply mix the product in water and spray on and spray off. This gives the surface of your deck a new beginning and ready for the application of the Woodrich finishing product. This product is formulated to the natural color pigments of Ipe and thus lasts longer as it takes longer for the UV light to break down the surface of the Ipe. I also like the fact that it does not peel. I have tried numerous other products and I was always left with peeling issues.  The stain formula is called “Amaretto” and the product can be purchased at www.myocstore.com

At the end of September, we received notice from the Canadian government formally announcing the regulations for the Architectural Coatings segment (which includes wood coatings).  Of interest to all of us (from paint dealers, factory applicators, to consumers), the VOC limit is set at 250 grams/liter.  This is the final regulation and is in force as of the date of the Gazette (30 September 2009).  The prohibition is based on the anniversary date of the regulation becoming in force.  In other words, all exterior wood stains which are over 250 gm/liter will be prohibited for sale/distribution on the 3^rd anniversary day of the regulation.  For all paint resellers out there, this means that all wood coatings over 250 gm/liter VOC’s be illegal in September 2012.
