Do-it-yourself, highly durable protective coating
Gulf Synthetics' DeckRevive is a non-toxic, water-based coating that cross-links with exterior paint to form a hard, durable covering that protects any wood substrate. Simply mix it with one-gallon of colored gloss sheen exterior paint to rejuvenate old worn out, dried out, beat up decks, fences, siding, furniture or anything made of wood (NOT for use on composite decking).
NOTE: We recommend ECOS Interior Wall and Ceiling Paint as the mixer. It sounds counterintuitive, but the Gloss Sheen of this interior paint is endorsed for exterior and interior usage.
DeckRevive is a two-part additive, with one part powder and one part liquid. It comes with a five-gallon bucket for easy and convenient mixing. With two coats applied, the coverage will be approximately 200 square feet per kit depending on surface porosity and texture.
PLEASE NOTE: For proper adhesion, PermaBond is REQUIRED as a primer for this product.
NOTE: Permafill (for deep holes and cracks) has been discontinued, Gulf Synthetics recommends Quikrete Quick Setting Filler as a replacement for Permafill.

Specs
CLEAN: Surfaces should be thoroughly clean, free of dirt, sealer or waxes, peeling paint, mildew, tar, glaze, efflorescence, laitance, grease or oily substances. Loose mortar or cement should be removed. Clean the surface by power washing, and allow substrate to dry completely for a minimum of 48 hours.
DRY: The surface needs to be thoroughly dry. Never apply over wet concrete. For exterior projects do not apply if rain is predicted in the next 3 hours. Test concrete for possible moisture problems by taping an 18" X 18" plastic film to the concrete and observing it for 24 hours. If condensation is observed, moisture is present and the source should be identified and contained before proceeding.
DULL: Glossy, painted, or sealed surfaces should be dulled by grinding or acid etching. If a clear concrete sealer is on the surface that is to be coated, the surface should be acid etched
PREP: Remove both wet and dry chemistry from container. Empty white liquid resin into container. Add one gallon of exterior latex or acrylic GLOSS paint (any color) NOTE: This will not work with a non-gloss paint. Mix briskly for one minute. Slowly add dry chemistry while stirring briskly with drill mixer for five minutes. Stir mixture-loosen up any dry portion from the bottom of container. Dry chemistry components should break down completely and mix should be smooth and viscous. The coating is now activated and should be used immediately.
Do not alter the chemistry of the product in any way by adding or subtracting material or by adding other ingredients (DO NOT ADD WATER). If you are working on a large area with more than one kit, mix each kit separately and then blend together for color consistency.
APPLICATION: For best coverage, use a 3/8" nap paint roller and roll out the first coat perpendicular-(against) the grain. This allows the coating-work into the cracks and splinters, filling them up and locking them down. Allow-dry completely before applying the second coat.
Apply second coat in the opposite direction or parallel with the grain of the wood. The second coat is key-attaining the proper texture. If a more aggressive non-slip texture is desired, use a one-inch nap roller for the second coat. Be consistent in your technique. Allow dry.
Additional coats may be applied-build the final mil thickness, if desired. Clean tools with water. keep a lid on any extra product and store in a cool, dark and dry space. activated coatings will have an approximate 14-day pot life. buckets should be cleaned and re-used.
