Hi,
Anybody ever use a product made by Biowash called “Natural Deck Oil”? (http://www.environmentalhomecenter.com/shop.mv?CatCode=PRODUCT&ProdCode=BIOWASH_NDO)
It’s water-based, which has me skeptical right off the bat. Here’s the context:
This is for a couple of porches, both covered, one of which is enclosed/screened. Deck is white cedar unfinished (new last summer). Normally I would use a linseed-oil based product, probably Ben Moore’s clear deck finish, but person in the house is very sensitive to odors (BM’s finish does smell a bit even after it dries). They’re also concerned with heavy metals/toxic substances in the product.
If the Biowash works, I’ll use it. Or could go with the old-timer recipie of linseed oil/turpentine, but wouldn’t get any UV protection that way.
Thanks for your opinions,
Ed
