Cabots/Sikkens

[tunatussle]

Customer has asked if I could apply Cabots Solid over Sikkens
Solid Rubbol DEK. She is concerned about price. The Sikkens has pealed in a few places but most of the finish is intact. I plan to clean the existing deck but my estimate depends on the finish to be used. I know the Cabots brochure states it can be used over
an existing stained or painted wood surface but Sikkens is a
different breed to deal with hence the question.

Solid latex stains will not hold up over the top of another finish. It would only be a matter of time before it starts to peel again. To do it right you will need to strip the sikkens... then talk them out of the latex

Take Care,
