In the "repair now/replace later" market we now find ourselves living in, Gulf Synthetics has introduced the perfect product - a water-based DIY coating that allows homeowners to actually resurface an existing wood deck or dock, locking down splinters and nails and extending the life of the structure indefinitely.
"The timing of this product is impeccable. This was going to be the year when the demand for composite decking hit critical mass and homeowners made the switch from wood to composite. But instead, we hit critical mess and our economy tanked. No one wants to replace anything they can repair. Homeowners are now walking into stores looking for a product that will repair their deck or dock and extend its life while they wait for an economic recovery. UDF-21 is the only product on the market that meets the multiple demands and needs of the consumer. Stains and sealers simply recolor the splinters - they still hurt when you step on them. UDF-21 locks them down and fills in the checks in the boards," says Gulf Synthetic's representative and product developer, Jeff Moreau.
When it comes to the persistent challenges of maintaining a wood deck, UDF-21 is the perfect homeowner option. Polymer based and extremely friendly to the user and the environment, UDF-21 bonds tenaciously to wood and creates a durable, non-skid walking surface that will last for years. Best of all, the homeowner chooses from an unlimited color palette by simply adding a gallon of acrylic latex paint of their color choice to the kit. It can be applied with traditional painting tools (brush and/or roller) and everything cleans up with water.
