PermaBond offers that extra bit of insurance against some of the unknowns that distressed wood may have been exposed to. Priming with PermaBond ensures excellent adhesion to very weathered boards. Permabond is non-toxic and zero VOC. It dries quickly and can be mixed with any color by adding 1 quart of 100% water-based acrylic exterior gloss paint. Pot life is 14-21 days after components are blended. Shelf life is 2 years unopened if stored in cool dry area. Do not allow to freeze. Coverage is 300-400 sq. ft. depending upon porosity of the substrate. NOTE: This is now REQUIRED by the manufacturer for DeckRevive application over new OR old wood. NOTE2: Pressure treated wood must be seasoned for one year before application of PermaBond. That means the wood must sit out in the weather unprotected for one year before using PermaBond. [tabs] Why We Like It DeckRevive is a fantastic product, but if your deck is badly weathered and falling apart, and you don't have the time or money to sand it down to bare wood, this is the best way to insure they will bond well. You still have to clean off dirt, mold and mildew, but PermaBond is extremely aggressive, and it bonds to almost anything porous.
