Important features Deck treatments
Deck treatments may be alkyd-based (solvent) or latex-based (water). Most alkyd-based products require cleanup with mineral spirits, but a few can be cleaned with water. Latex-based products clean up with water. Linseed oil and tung oil, once common binders in wood coatings, have largely been replaced by synthetic resins. These new formulations are described as preservatives, protectors, stabilizers, repellents, sealers, cleaners, restorers, or rejuvenators.
