Railing Refinish

10% thinned, and working time before tacky is 5 minutes or less.. in the sun, 2 minutes. I see why commercial shops love it..

Wow..... how long before you can sand and recoat?

You can recoat in 2-3 hours, without sanding. However, I'm waiting 24 and sanding with 220 because outdoors, you get stuff on the surface and I like to sand it off. Indoors, you could easily do 3 coats a day.

Results after 2 coats! Still planning 8 coats. Got 1/2 quart of gloss left, and it might go the full 8.

Very nice! Going to be stunning when you are finished.

I like it, how do you think it would hold up on ladder steps.

Thanks

This is dry, 3 coats.. I've got enough left for 1 more coat. Hope Defender is not out of stock!

Nice base.

[dottieshusband]

Well, Just my luck... Defender is out, along with Jamestown, Hamilton, and Boatersland... but Fisheries Supply had it!

5th coat. OMG! Thanks to everyone that recommended this product!

Teak oil looks good for a while and then it’s all downhill

Best finish I use in Florida is Awlwood by Awlgrip. It s a one part coating which requires no sanding between coats until the last couple of coats. It performs well in the Florida sun. Only downside is the price at $80 a quart but well worth it

Anyone having issues with small gaps where wood is missing? We have a spot on starboard rail about 1/2" long and about 1/8" deep that is an actual gap but no soft spots around it and when tapped with a knife blade, it's solid. It literally looks like a matchstick piece was extracted cleanly out of the railing. Looking for recommendations to fill that spot before refinishing.
