I need to redo my Cedar deck. Put One Time on it about 5 yrs. ago. Can I use the same Clove Brown again after cleaning the deck?

yes, I just refinihed mine and it looks wonderful. Just clean the deck, you do NOT need to strip off the old coating, just go right over and give it sunlight.

yes, I did alot of research, and the manufactures says that all you have to do is clean the deck and reapply.

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.

I applied this to cedar blocks in June, 2013. The blocks are about the size of playing cards. In March, 2014, they still smell quite like cedar. The more often they are exposed to fresh air, and the general humidity and temperature of that air, these are factors that affect longevity. The short answer is not very often, but your mileage will vary. Small note when applying the oil, don't soak the blocks. Just apply some to the surface using a clean rag or brush.

We used it on pine, as well. This company (Cedarshield) has gone through some "changes." I would check the website and talk to a person. We used about seven gallons of this product and so far we have been pleased, but only time will tell if it really holds up.

I haven't used it on cedar or pressure-treated deck lumber, but I did use it on my front porch pine(?) joists where the wood had rotted away. It adhered very well to the wood and dried normally. Now, however, it's covered with new, Douglas Fir, tongue and groove deck boards, so I'm not sure how well it's going to weather.I suspect it will do very well. I use this stuff whenever I need a super hard, water resistant repair.

its not used on decks. its normally used on the end of logs to prevent cracking from drying too fast. As a wood turner I use it on green wood that I have turned part way then painted with anchor seal ( to prevent cracking from drying too fast) and stored for 3 to 6 months before I finish turning.

I have only had mine on for a few months and the chrome is starting to corrode a bit. When wiped with a damp tissue there is a green cast to it. I have only cleaned mine with pine-sol. I am now disappointed and will lower my rating. However, the finished wood is still beautiful and looks like new.

I don't know how to answer this. I was treating the deteriorated ends of 36 year old cedar 2x4's so I treated over and over the same small areas. This was an alternative to replacing labor intensive 2x4's in a fence line. In the past I have treated cedar planks and 2x4's with consumption not an issue and wood stabilized for years.

Sounds like you need Howard's Restor-A-Finish not Craftsman Lemon oil...Howard's is a great product and you can get a finish to match your wood. Look online and you'll get info about this product. Lemon oil is just a polish - I don't know what results you will get with it on unfinished wood. I restore antiques but am not a professional.

You can use this on a previously sealed deck. The older the better (less work.) You'll just need to strip the sealant using non chlorine bleach diluted in water and 'painted' on and power washed off. The reason you use bleach is because it's an oxidizing agent. Oxidation of the stain from the porous wood membrane happens over a long period of time, naturally, with exposure to sun, rain, etc. Non chlorine bleach simply speeds it up.

Use Cedar wood & PennyRoyal with warm water equal quantity. spray 2 to.3 times and rub it in

I have done this several times now and endorse the other answer here: butter helps to brown the exterior, it hasnt burned on me yet, and I am still in awe of how easy this thing is to clean up. Enjoy!

Hello Nikita, as far as I know, You can, if the cloves are not to big.. It works great for me. I think that you will be pleased with the results. I hope this answer will help you... Maryann

You're welcome. I honestly don't know how this will work with sealed and unstained cedar, but this is a great product and I hope you'll give Amazon feedback on that use.

Yes, but as with any cleaner, it'd be best to test it somewhere inconspicuous first. Not all wood finishes have the same durability. Particularly as this has to dwell for 10 minutes to disinfect, less durable finishes might not hold up.

If you could find stainless steel brads it wood be perfect. If you use galvanized nails or regular interior nails they will create black streaks in the cedar.

I have used it around my hot tub cedar decking without discoloring the wood.
