Has anyone used this on Cypress Decking?

I have not. It was used on composite decking. The question would be if the screws would work well with the cypress wood and if the wood would split with the side pressure. The screws and jig could work if the drilling and pressure would not split the cypress and the expansion and contraction of the wood would not cause cracking over time. Best bet would be to contact Kreg to see if they have any information on using it with cypress. The wood should be excellent (rot resistant), but not sure if it would split.

My deck is in the Texas sun (very hot!!) and I took the stuff off of it for about 10 days. After that, everything went back to where it was. No real problems. You can probably do your deck in sections, just be sure to stir the mixture THOROUGHLY each time you use it (and regularly while you're applying it.)

I was able to easily scrape most of the Restore off my wooden deck with a putty knife. I then paid someone to power wash and hand sand to remove the rest. You may need something like a bristle brush for cement. I opted to replace it with Defy Extreme Wood Stain. I didn't feel comfortable trying Behr Deckover after the Restore experience. I don't have any recommendations for cement.

I wouldn't risk using this on a wood deck. Mine was used on a stone patio and after 1 use, the pad disintegrated in the center.

Yes, I have a couple of weeks ago. It cleans very nicely and well worth the money. My deck is 15 x 18, is 23 years old and well worn but very usable. I'm very glad I bought it. It saved me a lot of time. Good luck!

I have used it on both dogwood and cherry trees. Not a huge difference this year but look forward to seeing if better this spring as I had not fed them in a long time!

Not sure. I used it on our composite deck. Removed the stains, but it didn't lighten the composite material.

I used 5/4 pine decking. Worked like a champ. I wouldn't do a deck without this tool.

Per manufacturer instructions, I do not put anything in the tank except water - may cause corrosion. I use a squirt bottle (Target has good quality Rubbermaid ones in the cleaning supply aisle) and pre-treat the surface, then use the steamer as normal. On my Azek deck (same material as Trex) I have used Simple Green cleaner with good results. If you want to use bleach for mildew, use a 3% bleach/97% water solution. Don't use the bleach straight -may affect the color of the decking. Hope this helps.

I would not recommend this for a deck for a few reasons:1. It is very soft, even when cured. It would handle the weather great, but would be destroyed by foot traffic very quickly.2. It is a High Gloss (think glasslike) finish and I would think VERY slippery when wet.3. It is very expensive, and you'd need multiple (8+) coats to build it up.I would check with the manufacturer to see if they have a different product suitable to your needs.

I've seen one used on the corner of a fence, and the corner of a 2nd story deck. Both applications worked great. Hope that helps.

we used a power washer (that shredded our deck- sigh) and hands and knees scraping with a metal putty knife-for weeks! No easy way for sure. Hope it goes better for you.

That is exactly what I am using this for and it it working perfectly. When I initially put it down it left a chalky residue on my newly painted deck (which greatly concerned me.) However after the first couple of rains the residue washed off not only the deck but also the pad itself.

Have had no experience on finished wood,it worked very well on a redwood deck area.

I have used it on our new zenith zoysia with no problem. I apply in the am after the lawn was watered during the night.

Hopefully you would have better luck than I did. First results were fantastic. As winter progressed it started to bubble up....now it is peeling off. Very upset....now they tell you to sand your wood before using the product. If it is a new deck I would not use it....good luck.
