Epoxy Sealers - opinions

[allbritepw]

Hi All
What of these epoxy sealers? Has anyone used them yet.
Will they do the same as the poly sealers (SIKKENS) crack then flake. I have not used them yet just want to find out if anyone else has. Thanks Tim

The decision to use anything like that is permanent. Not meaning that the finish will last forever (because it sure won't) but once something like an epoxy goes on wood nothing will get it out. Just like some of those acrylics, all you can do to renew the deck is to recoat with the same stuff.

If you use an oil sealer, it is economically strippable - which leaves any options available in the future.

As a general rule, I would avoid using anything but oil except for unusual circumstances.
