Perma Bond

I have a pine deck with a ppg brand solid stain that is flaking off in several areas. I plan to pressure wash properly but not all of it might come off. Will I need to sand off all of the remaining old solid stain after the pressure wash or can permabond go over it and then deck revive?

Can you use regular wood filler for holes in deck prior to permanent bond and deck revive instead of using concrete patch?

If I am applying 1 coat of permabond with colored paint added, do I still need to apply 2 coats of deck revive? Do I need to add paint to permabond if using 2 coats of deck revive??

Does the quality of the paint used effect the mix of the kit

Thank you for your earlier answer.
I will add a gallon of gloss paint to the deck revive. what is the final finish once mixed?

Cleaned, prepped and dried deck. No rain in forecast. Applied Permanond in early afternoon. Late afternoon brief rain storm on top of the permabond. It's now evening and the permabond has not dried. 
Going forward, do you have any suggestions?
thank you

My deck had been painted by previous owner,  does all paint need removed?  I have powerwashed and clean it. All loose paint is gone.  Next move is?

I’m adding a small alcove to my old deck. Is permabond and DR ok to use on recently purchased treated lumber or should I let it weather for a year?  Thank you. 

Can I use permabond as a primer under paint on the areas of my deck that I need painted to match?

How long can you wait after painting on permabond to begin painting on deck revive?  Would overnight be okay? 

Can Perma Bond and deck revive be used over a deck surfaced with Deck Restore, which is mostly intact but peeling in spots?

Can we use the permabond and then just regular outdoor paint for surfaces that do not require texturing?

Can you use Perma Bond on Concrete Backer Board?

I have ordered a deck revive kit and the perma bond to use on my very worn 200 square ft. dock.  I applied a cleaner/brightener to the dock a few weeks before I found your product, which you do not recommend.  I have pressure washed the deck twice since, and feel certain that there is no cleaning product residue on the dock.  After the second pressure wash, I hand sanded most of the dock because there were small flakes of paint coming off and the wood looked kinda fuzzy from the wash.  Then I read that it's best to finish prep with a pressure wash and not a sanding.  Do you think it is necessary for me to give the dock another quick wash, or do you think it is okay to start the deck revive steps after the sand?  I plan to use the perma bond and then apply the quickcrete in several places that have large cracks from wear and weather.  Then will apply the perma bond on top of everything and use the deck revive mixed with gloss paint on the same day.  One more question - when applying the perma bond and the deck revive, how important is it to get a good coat between the deck boards?  I read to apply first against the wood grain then a coat with the grain.  Is it necessary for me to use a brush and cut in between the boards, or do you think the roller will get enough coverage there?  The last finish on the dock was paint but it has been 90% sanded off.  The dock is not covered and takes a beating from the weather.  It is also in a swampy section of a lake in South Georgia which is very humid and prone to mildew in rainy spells.   Looking forward to using the product.  Thanks for your help.

Can I use Deck Revive on the vertical plywood on the side of the house? I used Deck Revive on the front and back decks last year and want it all to match. I am also hoping it will cover up the grain on the plywood. If not, what do you suggest? It needs to be a thicker product than paint.

Hello I am considering using deck revive to restore my old worn deck. I used a belt sander to remove the previous coating of paint. Do I need to now pressure wash my deck? I need to know how to prep to apply the deck revive product and how much to buy for a 15’x20’ deck. 

Why preasure wash instead of sand?Do you know if deck revive can be mixed with a clear product? And do you know of any?My local paint store only carries semi gloss exterior acrylic. Is semi gloss sufficient?

Does Permabond adhere to composite decking? 

I am planning to use perma bond, quikcrete, and DR on our deck. On the railings I was going to paint with the same paint color, but not use the textured Deck Revive.
To fill cracks on railing, should I still use both perma bond and quikcrete before using the latex paint? Or is it a different process since I won’t be using the DR?

We recently moved to a building in downtown Chicago; it has a large outdoor concrete terrace. The terrace is about 10 years old and has not been maintained very well. It currently has a gray coating/finish on it - I am not sure what it is. There are a couple small areas that need to be patched and one or two cracks. One contractor suggested that we need to use muriatic acid first; however, i am very reluctant to do this. Therefore, I am looking for other options. Could we use your Permabond product, followed by DeckRevive? Also, what do you recommend for patching? thanks!!

What's the longest I can wait to apply concrete revive after applying PermaBond? I just put on the PermaBond but realized I can't do the Concrete Revive today. Can I wait 24 hours? After what point will I need a new coat of PermaBond?

How do you tint the permabond?

Do you recommend caulking before or after applying PermaBond?

Cracks and holes on my deck have been filled with latex caulk. Can I just apply permabond then deck revive over it. Or do I need to remove caulk and use Perma Fill instead?

Can Perma Bond/Concrete Revive be used on brick?

My deck was painted with 2 coats of deck revive 4+ years ago. At that time some cracks and gaps in the top rail were filled with plastic wood and/or caulking. I plan to add 1 coat of deck revive, tinted the same color as before, to all of the flat surfaces. Before doing so, I will power wash and plan to clean out and fill the former gaps with permanent fill. The plan is: power wash, wait minimum of 48 hours to dry, fill gaps with permanent fill, paint with deck revive. How long do I have to wait between filling the gaps and applying deck revive? Will the perm fill take on the same color as the tinted deck revive?

Can PermaBond be used as a primer for outdoor concrete paint as well as the Revive products? I want to paint stone slabs on the top of a patio retaining wall and thought PermaBond might be a good primer. (I haven't ruled out using ConcreteRevive on this surface but may just want paint since it would be smoother).

Similar to Rich below, but using Fir (kiln dried, HT, No 2, nominal 2"x12") for my exterior stair treads. I live in the pacific northwest. I stored the wood for 6 months in my dry heated basement. I will be painting all sides before installation. Fasteners will be on bottom face only. I plan to paint using Benjamin Moore Products … Arborcoat Oil primer and top coat with Floor & Porch Latex Enamel.
I have already removed the "mill glaze". I was intending to add my paintable WRP (Water Repellant Preservative) next.
The folks at Deckstainhelp.com recommended your Permafil product to fill knot holes. I was also intending to use it for cracks.
Does Permafil cure hard or flexible?
Can Permafil be top coated with oil based primer?
When do you advise using Permafil... before or after applying WRP?

I am building an exterior staircase with just four steps using new, non-treated, 5/4 southern yellow pine treads. I will be painting all sides of the treads for maximum rot resistance. I'm looking for an extremely durable paint which will offer long-term protection that will hold up in our harsh conditions here in Vermont. I saw your product at a builders conference and was very impressed. What do you think of using the Deck Revive 1/4 kit for this application?

I applied everything the way you said to (Deck Revive over Permabond) on new pressure washed cedar but it has peeled, about a 2" diameter spot. I still have some Permabond left from 2 years ago sealed in a container. Can I reapply it to use with Deck Revive or do I need to by more new Permabond?
