A friend has asked me to seal his stamped concrete deck for him while he is out of town. Which product do you recommend using? I'm handy and a veteran painter, but I have never sealed stamped concrete before and would appreciate any advice you may have.

Also-Many friends of mine have shared dissapointment in how their wood decks have turned out. They have tried to do it themselves and they only get a year or so out of the stain. I know staining wood decks is a process, but can you recommend to me your process and product to get the most out of their decks? (Two decks are cedar one is the pressure treated wood).

Thanks-

Sealing stamped concrete is relatively easy. Just clean, let completely dry for a day or so, then roll on. This Product is our most popular for this:
