Need Advise to Rewfinish my Deck

john_caren
14 years ago

Approx. 2 years ago I used Thompson Water Seal Waterproofer plus Tinted Wood Protector - Honey Gold and it didn't weather as well as I had hoped, especially on the horizontal surfaces. I just finished power washing and the deck is a combination of gray, honey gold and natural. My wife doesn't really like the honey gold color but the spindals, etc... appear to be fairly well preserved. What should I do now? Reapply the honey gold? Put a clear Thompson Water Seal? Use a darker semi-transparent stain/seal to try to bring uniformity?

HELP!
