Off Topic - any of you guys work with WOOD?
Our deck is getting splintery and old. My wife LOVES the look on some interior furniture pieces that let you see a deep shine but it's clear enough to see the wood underneath. Not stained or dark, too hot. But that clear new dining room table look.
So my question is this - what's the stuff they put on the wood to make it look like that? Can I use it on my deck once I sand it off and make it smooth again?

Re: Off Topic - any of you guys work with WOOD?
Interior finishes won’t hold up to the weather, but I think you are referring to varnish or polyurethane. A marine quality varnish would hold up. Be careful not to get too smooth or you will have a slippery deck. I just started a tool shed last week, and used a stain/sealer in cedar tone. I put an extra coat in the middle for traffic, and wound up with a stripe (a single coat is what they ask).

So I priced marine varnish and that stuff is expensive. Is that normal? I can get a 5 gallon can of Behr stain for about 120 bucks, but that varnish stuff is about 50.00 a gallon.
