| Deck
Restoration: |
|
| Step 1: |
|
|
Clean the surface of the Deck
using a High Pressure Cleaner Machine. The best Machine
to use is a petrol high pressure cleaner at least 2400
psi. Simply use it on the entire surface including any
steps you have. Be careful with the machine and try not
to damage the timber. Let it dry completely.
|
|
| Step 2: |
|
|
If you have nailheads sticking
out of the surface, you need to fix them by punching
every single one of them back where they were
originally. If you miss one it may rip the sandpaper off
the Belt Sander & Edge Sander Machines so make
sure you do not miss any.
|
|
| Step 3: |
|
|
Sand the surface of the floor
and steps using Belt Sander and Edge Sander Machines.
Make sure you use the machine in the direction of the wood
grain! There are some areas where the machine cannot
fit. Simply sand those areas by hand. Once it has been sanded, clean the surface of the
floor and steps. Simply use a broom and an old paint
brush.
|
|
| Step 4: |
|
|
Wash the surface with Moisture
Killer. Diggers has a a Timber Cleaner which is perfect
for timber floors. Simply mix the product with water and
wash the entire area. Once you have done that, wash the
surface with clean water using a garden hose or pressure
cleaner (no more then 600 psi). Let it dry
completely.
|
|
| Step 5: |
|
|
Clean the surface of the floor
and steps. Simply use a broom, old paint brush and a
rag. The surface has to be completely dust free so give
it a really good clean. Also clean any items around the
deck; lights, glass fence, etc...
|
|
| Step 6: |
|
|
It is time to apply the
SIKKENS Cetol HLS. This product will give a colour to
the previously sanded floor. Several colours are available
such as pine, mahogany, redwood, natural, etc... Apply
the product with a brush and staining pad (apply it in the direction of the wood grain).
Never put too much on the surface at a time. Try to
apply it evenly. Once you have
done one coat let it dry. Usually two separate coats of
HLS required to reach the preferred colour. Apply the
second coat by following the same method. Once you have
done the second coat let it dry again.
|
|
| Step 7: |
|
|
It is time to apply the SIKKENS Cetol
Deck.
Before you apply the product clean the surface. It has to be
completely dust free. Once you are happy with the
surface you can apply the final coat. Simply apply the
product with a brush. Always apply it in the direction
of the wood grain. Let it dry for 24 hours. Two separate coats
are recommended for better protection so apply the
second coat on the next day using the same method as
before.
