- Worn patios
- Hiding cracks
- Wood and concrete
- Waterproofing
A heavy-build 100% acrylic resurfacer that rescues a tired, cracked pool-deck or patio by bridging splits up to a quarter inch and laying down a waterproof, slip-resistant skin over wood or concrete. Its weakness is well documented: thick deck resurfacers like this peel and wear prematurely when the surface is not immaculately clean and dry first, and dark colors get hot underfoot, so light shades and patient prep are essential.
Pros
- Thick, high-build film conceals cracks and splinters up to 1/4 inch
- Waterproofing solid-color coating with a strong slip-resistant grip
- Works on wood, composite and concrete, so one product covers a mixed deck
Cons
- Has a real-world reputation for peeling and wear if prep or cure is rushed
- Low ~75 sq ft/gal coverage and thick texture make it slow to apply
- Solid dark colors absorb heat — not a cool-deck; picks a light color for bare feet
