How to: Restore Liquid Armour Resurfacer

As it ages and weathers, wooden decking cracks, splinters and fades. Periodic sanding and repainting is required to maintain the decking and eventually boards must be replaced. Synta's Deck Restore coating provides a less expensive and time consuming alternative to decking refurbishing. Applied with a special roller in much the same way as paint, Deck Restore fills cracks, secures splinters and creates a non-slip surface as it is applied. The textured elastic surface created by Deck Restore is up to 10 times thicker than paint.
