Here are some different looks at various times of the day for a couple different wood decks. Have a look…..
The first pic demonstrates dirty boards on the left vs. clean boards on the right. It’s important to note that in both cases, the boards are wet. Which side looks dangerously slippery to you?? The second pic demonstrates dry, clean boards on the left side vs. freshly stained boards on the right. As you can tell, clean boards that are wet(pic 1)and clean boards that have dried(pic 2) look completely different. It’s also important to note that Transparent Stain goes on dark until it has had a chance to dry, at which time it takes on a much lighter, more natural look. [segway]
Pics 3 and 4 have been posted to show a color that is pretty “typical” after stained boards have had a chance to dry. This 10 yr. old deck in Santa Cruz, CA gets plenty of afternoon sun and plenty of fog as well. Sweet.
This tank was I believe 20 feet high and maybe 12 feet in diameter. As you can see it was riddled in a wet rust of sorts. The idea behind this ugly, ugly job was to remove all the rust so that the entire inside could be re-epoxied and made to be new again. Before any new epoxy could be applied, ALL the bb-sized holes needed to be filled after the cleaning. You can see from the outside shots of the tank that rust was already making its way to the outside of the metal. It was only natural that many “soft” spots in the metal were opened up with my 3500 PSI Turbo Nossle. A perfect example of a surface that desperately needed to be properly cleaned before the application of a particular material.
I love this action photo because it shows 4 GPM and 900 lbs. of water pressure fitting perfectly in between slimey 2×6 wood boards. I was testing out a new tip(on my favorite bent wand) and my new camera all at once. It was much tougher to pull off than walking and chewing gum..I’ll say that. I was just having some fun on my own back deck….
