DECK RESTORATION Using Deck and Dock Stain

What happens here

If using multiple cans of coating, pour them all into a larger, clean bucket. Stir the coating thoroughly using a paint stirrer or mixing paddle. This process, known as 'boxing' or 'intermixing,' ensures a uniform color and consistency across all the product, preventing noticeable variations in shade on the finished deck. The presenter notes the product is thick, like an elastomeric coating, and may not cover as much area as typical stains.

Goal: Combine multiple cans of the elastomeric deck coating into a single bucket to ensure consistent color and mix it thoroughly.
