User questions & answers

Question:	I have sister joists. the gap between them is nine inches . Can this product be used or modified to work
Answer:	The thumb control is quite handy compared to a nozzle that doesn't have one. It controls the water pressure, from full to none and in between, which means you don't have to walk to the sillcock, also sometimes mistakenly called a spicket, to make such adjustments.However it is by no means child-proof. Anyone over the age of a few months can operate the control with ease. Indeed, it is TOO easy to operate. Merely dropping the nozzle onto your swarth of grass can open or close the pressure valve, a little or all the way depending on the force and angle vector at the moment of landing. Your curious dog can operate it. A determined hive of thirsty bees can coordinate to operate it. The pointless finger guard would have better located around the pressure valve.
Question:	What is material? Plastic, vinyl or something else
Answer:	I have only had it for a few months. I can say that, for now, I like it better than the two Gilmour thumb-control nozzles I have had for a year: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EVINW9I/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The Gilmours aren't leaking yet, but the thumb controls are harder to adjust than they were when they were new. The Orbit thumb control is easier to use than the Gilmour, even when the Gilmour was new. I liked the Orbit enough to buy a second one, and I may get a third.
Question:	How do you account for accumulation of leaves, pine needles & helicopters falling from trees
Answer:	BebeBouche, yes this nozzle is lead-free.
Question:	how do you deal with water at the fashia end of the joist run? I do not see down spouts listed
Answer:	attach. turn on water. move levers. then you will know.

User questions & answers

Question:	The listing says semi-transparent, but the picture says transparent, which version is this
Answer:	Semi
Question:	Is this a gallon container of the product
Answer:	Yes this is a one gallon of Thompson water seal
Question:	what clear seal do you recommend to use on 12year old pressure treated planks
Answer:	I've used Thompson's water-based semi-transparent stain/sealer 3 times now for my 15 year-old pressure-treated deck and it has always done a great job of covering and protecting the wood. It doesn't really last the 4 years they claim, but still very good. They also make an oil-based clear sealer and I use that on my cedar pergola, also very good stuff but it's hard to work with because it doesn't cleanup with water. As an alternative to the oil-base they have an all-purpose water-based clear sealer for wood and masonry. I would use that on my pergola if it was made of pressure treated wood, but with cedar I really want a penetrating oil. So for your pressure treated deck, I would recommend the water-based clear sealer. Given how well the semi-transparent stain has worked for me, I would expect good results with the clear as well. You will certainly want to clean the wood first if you expect to brighten the gray appearance of aged wood. I spray oxygen bleach on the wood first and then scrub with a stiff brush and rinse before sealing.
Question:	Would this product work well on untreated Adirondack furniture
Answer:	Yes, I think it would be suitable. I have only used it on my deck however. Good protection in a wet climate. Rub it down well after it dries to keep the color from getting on clothes though if you're using a color stain.

Product features

Stain + Sealant in One

Stain + Sealant in One protects and beautifies in one step.

Weather-Ready Application

Allows greater opportunities for staining when it may rain or when the weather may be too hot or cold.

Enhanced waterproofing protection

Helps make sure your wood is protected from cracking due to water.

Advanced SunBlock UV

Helps protects your wood from dangerous UV rays that can wear down the coating.

How much stain do you need to buy?

One gallon of wood stain covers approximately 250-350 square feed, which is enough for a small to medium deck. It should also cover both sides of a 25 foot long fence or a couple pieces of furniture.

Two Gallons

Two gallons of wood stain cover approximately 600 square feed, which should be more than enough for the standard deck project or a 50 foot long fence.

Three or more Gallons

Three or more gallons of wood stain will most likely only be needed on large projects, as they should cover over 850 square feed.

Note: Solid Color Stain requires two coats. You should effectively double your gallons purchased when using a solid.

How To Stain Your Wood Deck In 3 Easy Steps

Sweep debris from deck and then use a product such as Olympic Premium Deck Cleaner to penetrate the wood and lift dirt to the surface to be cleaned, as well as clean stains caused by mildew, dirt, algae and mold. Allow surface to dry.

STEP 2

Tape off any surfaces you don’t want stained. Also, avoid staining in direct sunlight or on hot surfaces because the stain will dry too fast to penetrate properly.

STEP 3

For clear, toner and semi-transparent stains, apply a thin coat with a high-quality brush, roller, paint pad, or spray. For solid stains, apply two thin coats with a brush, roller, or paint pad. To avoid lap marks, apply to a few boards at a time, keeping a wet edge.

For best results, backbrush into the surface to work finish into the wood and ensure the coating is even. Make sure to treat all areas of the wood, including joints, edges and ends.

You’re going to want to follow the directions on your stain container to determine if anything needs done after your final application.

The Science of SEAL-ONCE and Innovative Use of Nanotechnology in Wood Finishes & Stains

Unlike many top-coat sealers sold today that trap moisture below the surface, NANO+POLY creates a flexible, breathable barrier which allows water vapor to escape. This key feature helps prevent damage to wood caused by water intrusion, such as: wood rot, decay, mold & mildew growth, cracking & splitting. Typical wood sealers form a barrier on the surface of the wood, trapping moisture below the surface. As the water evaporates, it causes the surface coating and the substrate to crack & peel, leaving a broken surface that requires continued maintenance and is susceptible to additional damage. SEAL-ONCE uses cutting-edge, nano-particle technology to allow wood to breath and help prevent water vapor damage by protecting wood from the inside out.

Water-based Product that Will Not Harm People, Pets, Plants, Livestock or Marine Life.

SEAL-ONCE products are ultra-low VOC, low odor, non-toxic, non-flammable and non-ozone depleting. They are safer for the environment and do not contain nitrates, phosphorous compounds or heavy metals like many Oil-based sealers & stains on the market today.

Quick & Easy Application

Apply first coat with a synthetic brush; pump-up garden sprayer; air-assisted; and/or airless sprayer. Use 15-17 tip and medium to coarse spray pattern. When spraying, always back brush for best results. Second coat can be applied once first coat has penetrated but is still damp. Second coat must be applied within one hour of applying first coat. For best results, apply in the shade and out of direct sunlight.

Available in 11 Tinted Wood Stain Colors

NANO+POLY can be tinted for use as wood stain in any of the 11 color tints available: Clear, Light Brown, Natural, Brown, Mahogany, Redwood, Bronze Cedar, Cedar, Black, Battleship Gray, Shale Gray & Cape Cod Gray. The tints are sold separately and when mixed with Clear, the tinted formula provides additional UV protection from harmful sun rays.

Surface Preparation & Coverage

Approximate coverage: 250-350 sq. ft./gallon per coat. Actual coverage will vary due to the porosity of the surface. All surfaces should be cleaned with SEAL-ONCE All Wood Cleaner before sealing for best penetration and performance. Remove all old coatings, dust, debris and loose material. Remove oil, grease, algae, grime, mill glaze and mold and mildew stains with appropriate cleaners.

User questions & answers

Question:	Could this be used on an exterior door to help with swelling from humidity? If so how to apply
Answer:	I doubt it would help much. It stops water penetration but not humidity problems.
Question:	Can the protector be applied on damp wood
Answer:	I think not.
Question:	Will this work on outdoor mahogany floor
Answer:	Yes will protect it
Question:	Hello, Do you have to re-apply every year
Answer:	Probably. To tell, splash some water on the finish. If the water forms bubbles, the surface is OK for another season. However, after a year the surface may look dirty, and so you may want to clean it and re-seal it. Again, after you clean the surface, splash some water on it and see whether the previous seal still holds.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this for 12"on center of joist
Answer:	I believe it is US made
Question:	Do you use excess on the house side to create its own flashing? Assuming you use the tape to seal the overlapping edges
Answer:	Sorry can't tell you. What I can say it is one of the best hose nozzle I ever purchased. The handle is very useful for hanging. For washing the boat , or car or the side of your house it has plenty of power. I am going to purchase another one.
Question:	Is 24" joist spacing available
Answer:	I haven't tried it with hot water, but I leave this nozzle on the end of my hose all summer and it sits in the sun sometimes, so I guess it can handle it. I have 2 of them and like them because they're much easier to use than the regular nozzle.
Question:	Does this have to be installed before the deck boards are installed
Answer:	Yes, the connector is the same as the male (outside) end of a hose, so another hose with male connected to a faucet outlet should be able to have the female end (smaller end) connect to this easily. They are universal connectors.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it contain teflon
Answer:	The product is great and very stable. It is possible to “under mount“ this product. Sink will have to be mounted to a “subframe support” conforming to the entire perimeter of the bowl. The sink can be attached to a 3/4 - 1” frame using the supplied mounting clips. Anything thicker will be questionable. Allow for 1/8” (sink-lip) space between the subframe and the bottom surface of your counter material. An ample application of silicone sealant (Clear) between sink and the counter top will do the job.
Question:	Can this be used on painted deck
Answer:	Approximately 7 1/2” on my sink.
Question:	Can it be brushed on
Answer:	The roll up dish rack is included in the package. If not included, pls email to us through [email protected] with your order ID, we will make this correct.
Question:	May wood surface be painted with finish after being treated with this sealant
Answer:	For proper fit, we recommend taking the exterior dimension of the sink(left to right) and adding at least 3" for access to install hardware. Actually, can be smaller a little than we suggest.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this be applied to damp wood? How would it be on raised garden beds
Answer:	I wouldn't recommend it. Even applying to untreated bare wood it started peeling and flaking after less than one year. Damp wood would certainly lead to bubbling before long.
Question:	Is this solid, or semi-transparent? Title says solid. But description and product image show semi-transparent
Answer:	Solid, worked nice but had to put two coats to really cover good.

User questions & answers

Question:	The instructions say to use with softwoods. What about hardwoods
Answer:	"Hardwood" describes wood from trees that lose their leaves seasonally. "Softwood" refers to conifers (e.g. pine trees). There are plenty of Hardwoods that are softer than hard Softwoods (though generally hardwoods tend to be sturdier than softwoods). I suspect they're recommending this for use with Softwoods because they'll be more likely to absorb this than a hardwood would. There's a reason why you don't generally see Pine used to make Barrels (or boats), other than because any consumable liquid you put in a pine barrel would taste like Pine air-freshener smells. If my suspicion is correct, that they're worried about hard closed-pore woods not absorbing this as well as "softwoods".. there are some "Hardwoods" that are very much like "Softwoods" in this regard. For Example.. White Oak is used for Wine Barrels because it has closed pores (and because it has some natural resistance to decay.. more than other North American & European hardwoods). Red Oak, on the other hand, has open pores which makes it way more water permiable. You can actually take a small piece of red oak (like a dowel), put one end in water and blow in the other end, and (depending on the cut and particular tree) you can actually create bubbles in the water because the open pores act like straws. Anyway.. bottom line.. I strongly suspect they're recommending for Soft Woods because they expect they will absorb more of the material.. which would also be important for it to not leave a goopy coating since it applies like a thin paste. For these reasons, it would probably work well on open-pored hardwoods too. I suspect this won't work well with pressure-treated wood either. The protectant that is applied deep into the wood under pressure would close up the pores (by design), prevent this from penetrating into the wood (same problem we have with gluing pressure treated wood). Not only would this decrease it's effectiveness, it would also adversely affect how it looks after it dries. You'll end up with a much thicker top-coat if it can't absorb into the wood. ---Steven. P.S. I was going to check the questions to see if there was info about using this as an anti-rot protectant under a final top-coat.. until I saw in the that it's silicon based. I know it's not related to this specific question but... Silicone-based products are hydrophobic (they repel water). If you tried paint over this with a water-based latex finish, it wouldn't stick. The Roxil would literally push the paint away from it's surface electrostaticly, the same way it makes water drops beed-up. Bummer, for a moment I had hopped this might be a clear alternative to green copper-based wood protectant.. which requires a bit more work to cover with White top-coats. :-/. Oh well.. still looks interesting for what it is. I'm going to get a quart to try out.
Question:	Can this be used on pressure treated wood
Answer:	I just submitted an answer to another question here.. about this product being recommended for Softwood, not Hardwood. Please check that answer out after it's been approved for posting to see the following in it's full context. Here's the bit I included there specifically about using this with pressure treaded wood though.. "I suspect this won't work well with pressure-treated wood either. The protectant that is applied deep into the wood under pressure would close up the pores (by design), prevent this from penetrating into the wood (same problem we have with gluing pressure treated wood). Not only would this decrease it's effectiveness, it would also adversely affect how it looks after it dries. You'll end up with a much thicker top-coat if it can't absorb into the wood." Sorter context: I think they recommend only using on softwood because it's more likely to absorb deeply into softwood than (most) hardwood. Because it's a paste.. it is either going to absorb into the wood, or it's going to dry as a thick top-coat that's more likely to wear or wash away. The Pressure-Treatment process would also prevent this from absorbing deep into the wood fiber and pores. I suspect (but can't confirm, yet) that this won't apply well to Pressure treated wood for this reason.. at least not to new pressure-treated wood. If you wanted to protect old PT wood that's got a dry weathered surface, you might have more success. --hope this helps, even though it's not based on first-hand knowledge.. just my experience working with wood. :-)
Question:	Does anyone know if this product will work on an exterior table that was previously clear coated? It’s in need of a new, more robust clear coat
Answer:	I fear the clear coat will repel the Roxil Wood Protection Cream from absorbing into the table wood. If you choose to apply the product, lightly sand the table first.
Question:	Should this be used after stain is fully dry or right after I stain wood
Answer:	I would let it dry first

Roxil Wood Protection Cream

Weatherproof fences, decking, sheds, furniture and more without changing their appearance.

Roxil Wood Protection Cream is a silicone cream emulsion for wooden structures. The unique cream formula is applied in a single coat directly to unpainted softwood timber using a brush or roller. After application, the cream will absorb into the wood surface and create an invisible waterproof barrier.

Waterproofs in a single coat

Most competing wood weatherproofing treatments are spray applied liquids. Liquids, when spraying or applying by brush, are difficult to apply accurately without dripping or splashing onto plant life or adjacent structures. The cream formulation of Roxil Wood Protection Cream is easy to apply neatly and allows for precise and measured application. It also results in a complete even coverage that lasts longer than competitor products.

Roxil Wood Protection Cream will cover approximately 45 – 55 square ft. per quart.

Only a single coat of Roxil Wood Protection Cream is needed to protect cleaned softwood timbers for 10+ years. The cream formula also allows for a quick and accurate application, with no splashback or run off on vertical or horizontal surfaces. To ensure best results, treatment surfaces should first be cleaned using a biocidal wood cleaner. For particularly vulnerable surfaces, a pre-treatment application of a suitable wood rot treatment should be considered.

Unique Cream Formulation - Instantly Waterproof

Most liquid treatments change the appearance of wood, leaving a stained color or a sheen. Roxil Wood Protection Cream does not change the color or texture of the wood that it is applied to, allowing it to retain its natural beauty. If desired, it is possible to apply a stain before the application of Roxil.

Reduces Mold and Algae Growth

Softwoods are highly susceptible to mold and algae growth due to their absorbent nature, especially in areas with high rainfall or in shade. Roxil Wood Protection Cream creates an invisible waterproof barrier that significantly reduces moisture ingress and makes the surface of softwoods inhospitable to mold and algae.

User questions & answers

Question:	Do I need to apply mineral spirits before applying Cabot waterproofing sealer on my wood deck
Answer:	Yes our membrane fit for maximum joist spacing of 16'', if less install z-folds on center then trim each sides ( please see video on our website ). Regarding sister joists make sure to have the self sealing tape covering both in a goal to prevent leaks. Thank you.
Question:	Is this producr good for an outdoor wood deck
Answer:	Goberco Under Deck Drainage System raw material is ASTM LLDPE ( linear low density polyethylene ) 30 mils thick, please see our website for details.
Question:	Is this water based
Answer:	Hello, if there is debris accumulation you can use a garden hose to wash debris down the evacuation holes. In most case distance between deck boards allow enough water flow to wash debris, in some occasion you should need to pull out a deck board nearby the house (or make small holes to close with plugs if needed to wash more often) and push garden hose on the membrane. The valley created with our membrane is 3-4'' deep which let a lot of space before debris hit/stuck to deck boards (heavy rains wash many debris) and space to run a garden hose. Thank you.
Question:	Can I use this with a pump spray or is it too thick
Answer:	At the end of the joist bay staple the membrane on top of rim joist then make a hole. Attach a piece of gutter downspout ( about 8'' long ) to this hole, make sure each downspout piece drops far enough into the gutter to prevent wind from pushing water off the gutter. Please see installation video on GOBERCO's website.

The Science of SEAL-ONCE and Innovative Use of Nanotechnology in Wood Finishes & Stains

Unlike many top-coat sealers sold today that trap moisture below the surface, MARINE creates a flexible, breathable barrier which allows water vapor to escape. This key feature helps prevent damage to wood caused by water intrusion, such as: wood rot, decay, mold & mildew growth, cracking & splitting. Typical wood sealers form a barrier on the surface of the wood, trapping moisture below the surface. As the water evaporates, it causes the surface coating and the substrate to crack & peel, leaving a broken surface that requires continued maintenance and is susceptible to additional damage. SEAL-ONCE uses cutting-edge, nano-particle technology to allow wood to breath and help prevent water vapor damage by protecting wood from the inside out.

Water-based Product that Will Not Harm People, Pets, Plants, Livestock or Marine Life.

SEAL-ONCE products are ultra-low VOC, low odor, non-toxic, non-flammable and non-ozone depleting. They are safer for the environment, easier to apply than solvent based wood finishes and clean up with soap & water. They do not contain nitrates, phosphorous compounds or heavy metals like many Oil-based sealers & stains on the market today.

Quick & Easy Application

Apply first coat with a synthetic brush; pump-up garden sprayer; air-assisted; and/or airless sprayer. Use 15-17 tip and medium to coarse spray pattern. When spraying, always back brush for best results. Second coat can be applied once first coat has penetrated, but is still damp. Second coat must be applied within one hour of applying first coat. For best results, apply in the shade and out of direct sunlight. Clean-up brushes or sprayer with warm soapy water.

Choose from 11 Wood Stain Tints

MARINE can be tinted for use as wood stain in any of the 11 color tints available: Clear, Light Brown, Natural, Brown, Mahogany, Redwood, Bronze Cedar, Cedar, Black, Battleship Gray, Shale Gray & Cape Cod Gray. The tints are sold separately and when mixed with Clear, the tinted formula provides additional UV protection from harmful sun rays.

Surface Preparation & Coverage

Approximate coverage: 250-350 sq. ft./gallon per coat. Actual coverage will vary due to the porosity of the surface. All surfaces should be cleaned with SEAL-ONCE All Wood Cleaner before sealing for best penetration and performance. Remove all old coatings, dust, debris and loose material. Remove oil, grease, algae, grime, mill glaze and mold and mildew stains with appropriate cleaners.
