should a primer be used before applying deck restore

There are times when primer will help. This product is so thick in does not penetrate the wood at all and primer does penetrate. That should give it a better surface to grip however if the application instructions do not have this as an option then the warranty will be void. This is a bad product. If I were you I would just get a better product.

I have not tried using deck stain with this product. But as my experience there should be no problem doing so. Just make sure you have a cleaning agent after you complete staining your deck. Deck stains are not water based.

I love Behr products. However, if you are painting on a new surface (ie just removed wall paper or on porous surfaces), it is recommended to use primer first. Have been using Kilz products for over 25 years and it is probably the best on the market. As a rule, primer makes any paint adhere. Since you are painting on concrete, the concrete will absorb the primer and allow you to get close to perfect surface and color. Not to mention time saving, money saving, etc.

yes, I just refinihed mine and it looks wonderful. Just clean the deck, you do NOT need to strip off the old coating, just go right over and give it sunlight.

Yes, you must use the Kool Seal primer first and then coat with the Kool Seal product.

I use a cheaper primer from sensationails but I have done my nails without a primer. Just make sure to buff the nails first in order to remove any oils. You want them to be clean and oil free in order for the base to stick and not peel.

My suggestion would be to sand off any rust first. If its a large are then I would go Sherwin Williams for the primer and go with their recommendation for the metal primer. If its a small area then rustoleum should be fine. I would plan to apply 3 coats of Kool Seal. If you do go to the paint store then I would take the can of Kool seal with you to shake it. Its thick.

I'd use the primer for it before doing so, but I see no reason it can't be after that, as thats what I did. But you'd also want to "level" the joints in the existing tile before you do, so its not as simple as peel and stick if you want it right.

I don't see why you couldn't. I used a second coat on some of the worst areas and had no problem. I didn't use a primer, but I did spray off the roof the day before with soap and water.

The primer is totally transparent in the skin, so you won't have a problem. It will blend in your skin.

I have a composite deck. Get a 5 gallon bucket and a short bristled deck brush, add 4 ounces to 2 gallons of water and start scrubbing. You might want to sprinkle some OxiClean on a moist deck first and start the scrubbing process a few hours after.

Yes, I use it on small rust spots all the time and there is no need to sand first. I just wipe off the excess; it hasn't ever affected the surrounding paint. It will leave a film that can be easily wiped off. It works great. No need to use primer, just paint right after it drys.

Just to be safe I would but I am pretty sure it will not but that depends on the size of the cracks. Some of the cracks on my deck are filled in after applying, only the wider spaced boards still have a crack.

I would definitely use prime, it would be more permanent. It is thick like tar shake really well. You wont need but 2 coats. Good luck!

Yes just give it a minute to absorb. I found I didn't need to use my primer anymore. But your results may vary.

No. It is for smoothing the edge after you cut it and cleaning the area where the old primer was.

yes. and I did not use a primer however, use of a primer and paint would not be a bad idea if the door handle gets used a lot.
