Evaluate and Apply Additional Coats

What happens here

After the first coat has dried according to manufacturer instructions, inspect the deck to determine if any areas require more filling or a smoother appearance. The presenter suggests that a second heavy coat can further fill splinters and checks, providing a more uniform and smooth look. This product, being thick and elastomeric, does not absorb into the wood after the first coat has sealed it, so subsequent coats build on the surface to achieve the desired aesthetic and protective qualities. Always ensure you have sufficient product available to avoid color inconsistencies when mixing new batches. The video shows the final restored deck with furniture, highlighting the effectiveness of the coating in transforming an old, damaged deck.

Goal: Assess the coverage and smoothness of the first coat, applying additional coats as needed to achieve the desired finish and complete the deck restoration.
