What is the process for cleaning and sealing my deck/pier/floating dock?

First, the wood must be cleaned thoroughly to remove the dead surface and any mildew and other foreign matter on the surface. This job varies in depth according to the age of the wood and the amount of exposure to the elements. Sun and moisture are tough on wood and, being in Alabama, we live in a tough environment with high humidity, full sun, 100 degree August days and winter freezes.

Our decks and piers quickly loose that new feel and begin to warp and splinter. Cleaning is done with a pre-spray on dry wood that is allowed a short dwell time, and then removed with low water pressure. This destroys mold, eliminates other foreign matter and dead/dry surface cells, exposing a natural, clean surface.

Next, after a period of drying time, usually a few days at most in dry weather, a coating can be applied. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
