Customer Reviews for Rust-Oleum Restore 4 gal. 10X Advanced Forest Deck and Concrete Resurfacer

This stuff sure sounded like a good idea for my patio. Was that ever wrong! It lasted less than 6 months before peeling off in big chunks. It also does not resist mildew at all--which is a bigger in a humid Florida climate. Unfortunately I did my entire patio in this stuff and wasted a ton of effort and money. The directions for application were followed to the letter and that made no difference. Get something else and skip this stuff!

My husband and I were about to tear down an old deck we inherited when we bought our new home. Rebuilding it would cost us a lot of money, 2300 is what we were quoted, but it looked so weather beaten that it made our backyard look abandoned. We had to do something! That's when we decided to go to Home Depot. My husband said, "Why don't we paint it until we have more money?" So I reluctantly went with him to the paint section with the hope of not finding anything that would help so that we could rebuild it. While we were looking, he found this paint. We bought a gallon to see if it would work. After pressure washing the deck and letting it dry we tried it on a small area of the deck. It was so thick we had a hard time mixing it. We spread it with a sponge and it covered all the cracks and unevenness of the wood! I looked great with only one coat! We will be going tomorrow to buy two five gallon pails and a paint roller to complete the job. Thanks Rustoleum! You saved us a lot of money and work!
