Apply 2 coats of Behr deck more solid on my deck.? wondering if I could put a layer of Thompson bucket of water on it to waterproof and give a little sparkle. I am satisfied with the color, but no real "shine" in it.The Bers AITP bridge is water repellent, not waterproof, any help? thank you
you can close it. it will be fine
You can use a clear gloss coat. Make sure it's the same basis as painting extisting. bond issues will occur if it is not. If the paint is latex, you can use a latex or oil based. If the paint is oil, you must use an oil based layer. Putting latex on oil will create a problem of sticking. Make sure the layer is transparent to the outside and it contains UV filters.
Yes you can put a sealer on the deck to give it some shine. But read the back of the box to ensure it does not cause excessive slippage on the deck.
