Answer This Question
A: Happy to clear things up! While Rust-Oleum Zinsser Cover Stain Oil-Based Primer can be applied to exterior wood surfaces, we do not recommend it for use on decks due to the foot-traffic these areas receive. For exterior decks, we recommend Rust-Oleum RockSolid 6X Deck Coating.
