DeckWise WiseCoat Hardwood Deck, Siding & Fence Semi-Transparent Waterproofing Sealer (2-Pack, 1-Gallon Each) Review:


My Ipe deck received a coat of DeckWise WiseCoat Hardwood Deck sealant. I'm thrilled with the outcomes. After a thorough cleaning, the product was simple to use. It protects the wood well and continues to look fantastic even after numerous hailstorms and a lot of rain. My only gripe is that, despite the fact that I assumed this product would be transparent, it has a little hue that surprises me. Overall, I continue to be pleased with the outcomes.

Oatey 14122 Rain collar 1.25" - 1.5" No-Calk Roof Flashing Review:


My ceiling was damaged when a roof vent made of 2" PVC pipe leaked. It turns out that it passes via an attic 90-degree elbow, and that elbow developed a leak. Snow or rain that had accumulated inside the vent leaked out the elbow and onto my ceiling. Although I replaced the damaged elbow, I installed a few devices to stop leaks in case any of my other roof vents failed in a similar way. In my opinion, both devices are extremely affordable insurance against a potential issue.The first device can be obtained on Amazon under the name "Camco 40034 Replacement Plumbing Vent Cap (Polar White)". It's a cheap and efficient technique to ensure that water never again enters my vents while yet enabling the vent to breathe for $5.18 and free shipping. The cap is highly durable and glides onto the pipe with ease, ensuring that no strong wind will blow it off. Even if it might not last as long as my 30-year-old roof, I'll just buy more when I run out.The "Oatey 14206 2-Inch Carded RC-2 Collar" is the second device, which is also available on Amazon. While checking my roof vents for various issues, I found the rubber flashing boots were deteriorating and, though they weren't currently leaking, I was concerned they would in the near future. These perform very well for $2.27 and free shipping. Simply put them over the current boot to extend its life, protect it from further fading from the sun, and provide a second seal around the vent pipe. Once more, it might not last as long as my 30-year-old roof, but I'll just buy more when I run out.Pictures of the devices installed on my roof vent are shown in the attached pre- and post-photos.



Chalk Mountain Brushes 32oz Hemp Seed Oil Citrus Scented Furniture Sealer. Beautifys and Protects Painted and Unfinished Wood. Safe to use Indoor and Outdoors Review:


A truly beautiful product. We recently purchased a huge 4 BR, 3 BA home with dark wood cabinets that was built in the middle of the 1980s. Thought I wouldn't be able to avoid replacing until a friend suggested we give this oil a shot. Did, and the cabinets look gorgeous, practically brand new. It's been advised that we carry out every 12 to 18 months. No issues!

This stuff cleaned my deck reasonably well.



Wood Sealer Agua Pro - Water-Base Penetrating Easy to Use Waterproofing for All Woodworks Countertop Table Chair Art Floor Tile Deck Patio Fence (Quart) Review:


It was simple to use. I applied it outside. It applies easily, however I haven't yet determined if I need more than one layer. Simply said, there are no cleanup instructions.



Seal-Krete SK201001 Multi-Surface All-Purpose Water Repellent, Gallon Review:


My 30-year-old home's chimney brick was starting to leak below the roof after heavy downpours, causing the brick on the inside of the house to become moist. The only other explanation is that the brick itself was absorbing water because it has a great chimney cap and brand-new flashing. Last summer, I sprayed this on the brick, and despite some really strong downpours (like > 5" in one day), there was no more soggy brick. I'll start using this as a regular maintenance item.
