The last one In retrospect dumping the salt OUT OF the bags into wheel
barrow ( clean) spreading around the pool with shovel might of been a better
idea, to bad I didn't think of that.

If you use deck stains with silica based aditives or polymers, you then
can
never paint your deck when it eventually looks like shit, again, and
again,
every year, like clockwork.
You'd have to sand off completely the top surface to get paint to
stick.
I agree, avoid silicone like the plague, it will cause all subsequent
coats to "fisheye", and even sanding may not eliminate the problem.
Between Cabot and Olympic, Cabot is better, IMO. You can boost the
performance of any oilstain by adding a little pure tung oil or linseed
oil.-Jitney
