| We have been asked many times how good Penofin's®
One Step Prep really is. To answer, we took photos of a grayed
deck and used the Penofin® product line to see how it would
rejuvenate the decking. |
|
|
|
| Gray Deck Sample: This decking has never been treated
with finishing oil. It was purposely left out in the sun so we could
demonstrate Penofin® One Step Prep.
- Mixing: You mix a cup of this powder with water.
- The one quart bottle of One Step Prep probably makes 30+
gallons.

| Scrubbing:
- Spray on One Step Prep boards after wetting with water, wait 15
minutes being sure the decking stays wet, scrub and rinse.
|
|
 |

|
|
| After Photo
- The gray washes away leaving a clean deck ready for finish.
- Notice that although the gray has been washed away, the pigment of
the decking is washed and bleached out of the boards. This is a
natural occurrence since pigment washes out of wood over time.

| Note: It is the
responsibility of you the owner or installer to adequately test pressure
washing, cleaning or finishing for product suitability and application
method for your particular installation. The above are techniques that
have worked for others in the past and we want to share information that
we hear for the benefit of others. However, you need to test and insure
that any of these ideas will work in your specific application. |
