Clean and Reseal Our Cedar Deck – Second Coat a Year Later

A year after our new cedar deck was build and sealed with an oil-based sealer, Ready Seal 112 Natural Cedar Exterior Wood Stain and Sealer, the weather took a toll on the wood deck appearance. This video documents the process and the amazing results!

Background: We decided to apply an oil-based natural cedar color sealer to our new cedar deck to preserve the beautiful color of the cedar wood. After searching the Web, I identified a highly rated product: Ready Seal 112 Natural Cedar Exterior Wood Stain and Sealer. I ordered a 1-gallon can of this sealer along with a 5” brush Linzer through Amazon.com. The Ready Sealer was easy to apply by hand using the 5” brush and a small 1” brush for the tight spots. It absorbed quickly into the wood and there were no visual overlap lines, even on the few boards that were in the direct sun during application. Unlike water-based sealers that I have used on wood decks in the past, I felt no urgency in applying this sealer to avoid darker and lighter areas and overlap lines. Best of all, one gallon of Ready Seal covered the entire 12’ x 8’ deck, the sides and full-length steps in a single application. And there is still about half a gallon of sealer left in the can, just enough for a second coat next summer. I am very pleased with the results!
