Should I Use Cetol DEK Finish or Cetol SRD for my deck?
1. Does your deck have lattice or no skirting?
2. Is your deck a minimum of 2 feet above the ground?
3. Are the deck floor boards spaced at at least 3/16" - 1/4" nail holes?
4. Is the deck wood free from cracks, splits, rot and large nail holes?
5. Is your deck free from areas of moisture (i.e. hot tubs, swimming pools, sprinkler systems, etc.)?
6. Are you willing to sand the horizontal boards with 60 - 80 grit sandpaper for preparation?
7. Can you coat the underside and end grains of your deck boards?
**If you answered YES to all seven questions, then Cetol DEK would be a great choice for your deck. If you answered NO to one of the questions, then Sikkens Proluxe Cetol SRD would be a better choice for your deck.**

Additional Resources for Sikkens Proluxe Cetol DEK Finish: Sikkens Proluxe Cetol DEK Application Methods Sikkens Proluxe Cetol DEK Finish Dry Time Sikkens Proluxe Cetol DEK Preparation Instructions New, Uncoated Deck Surfaces - Prepare wood surfaces by mechanically sanding with 60 – 80 grit sandpaper. Weathered, Uncoated Deck Surfaces - Cleaning Recommendations: Special Notes: New Wood - Clean and prepare all wood surfaces as specified above. Pressure treated wood must be properly seasoned, dry with a moisture content of 18% or less and free of salts and other water soluble materials before applying stain. Water-repellent treated lumber requires one year minimum of weathering prior to cleaning and application. Exotic Hardwoods - Ipe, mahogany, iron wood, tiger wood and teak woods exhibit a dense cell structure which may reduce the ability of a coating to penetrate the wood surface. Clean and prepare all wood surfaces as specified above. Immediately prior to applying coating, wipe surface with acetone. Previously Coated Wood - Previous stains, varnishes or sealers must be completely and thoroughly removed prior to application of Cetol DEK Finish. After removal of previous coatings, clean and prepare surface as specified above. Checking Moisture Content Before Staining: Sikkens Proluxe Cetol DEK Finish Application Information NOTE: Tannin containing woods such as redwood, red cedar, mahogany, douglas fir, etc. contain tannic acid which tends to migrate to the surface and discolor the stain, especially noticeable when using white or light colors. The discoloration is not harmful and can usually be removed. Apply a cleaning solution of four (4) ounces of oxalic acid to one gallon of warm water using a garden sprayer or a heavy nap roller cover. Allow solution to dwell on surface for 20 minutes then thoroughly rise with clean water. DO NOT ALLOW solution to dry on wood surface.
