A major source of problems and complaints for all wood finishes is over application of coating. Many do it yourselfers and some painting contractors believe that when it comes to coating then more is better. This is simply not the case and is particularly a problem for decks. Most deck finishes are designed to penetrate the surface of wood. Putting too much of these coatings on the wood leads to a buildup of material forming a film which can ultimately peel or crack. For water repellant products over application can result in a surface which is overly waxy, sticky, or slick. Over applied stains will often result in sticky surfaces since the coating buildup interferes with their ability to dry properly.
Application Methods
Clear Coatings can be applied by a variety of methods including brush, spray, roller and pad. Brushing is considered to be the best technique for detail work such as spindles and railings. But, for large horizontal deck surfaces, spray application is quickest and easiest. This evens out the finish and eliminates drips and lap marks. Pads are also well suited to coat decks. Individual boards should be coated along their entire length to prevent lap marking. Paint rollers are more suitable for applying siding finishes than for deck coatings they can be used successfully to apply clear finishes and water repellants to decks. As for most exterior coatings it is vital that deck finishes be applied under proper weather conditions.

By adding new material at intervals like this small color differences will not be noticed if there is a small difference in color between batches.

All exposed ends should be coated several times until all wood pores are saturated.
