I have read the reviews here on Amazon and I can only figure these people gave the reviews shortly after they finished applying the product. I bet they are all singing a different tune now. It only takes a few months after applying this stuff that you see it AIN'T GONNA WORK!! We bought almost $1000.00 dollars worth of Restore for our pool deck in September 2011. I started to do the painting but couldn't finish because of my disability. We hired a professional painter to finish. He brought to my attention that what I had applied was already bubbling up and peeling off in places. He fixed it and finished the rest of the deck. He remarked how difficult it was to apply the paint mixed with sand on the floor of the deck. I seriously doubt he would ever want that job again!! Our pool deck was built using cedar in March of 2011. The Restore was applied in September 2011 but not before pressure washing the deck and letting it dry for a few days first. Last summer we noticed slight peeling on the top of the rails. We also noticed that you can't walk barefoot on the deck without getting severe burns on the bottoms of your feet. The deck bottom is painted with the color beach which is very light in color. In spite of this, the deck gets EXTREMELY HOT! I wear water shoes when I work on the pool and the deck is so hot it started melting the rubber on the bottoms of my shoes and my feet get really hot. We bought outdoor area rugs and put them down. It was still too hot to walk on them barefoot. So we put one rug on top of another one. That made it bearable to walk on, but it was still hot. We bought 3 huge umbrellas and that helped some. I took throw rugs to make a path to walk from the ladder to the slide so the kids wouldn't burn their feet. Now the paint is rolling up and peeling off almost every top rail and even around the bottom. I tried to clean a spot where the water bags laid last spring. I used Dawn dish soap and water mixture and a small utility brush. I very carefully started cleaning the spot. I was a little worried the grit might start coming off. I didn't dream the paint would peel, but it did. This was after the paint had been there for 8 months. I called Synta Tuesday 5/14/13 and spoke to the supervisor and he asked me to send pictures so he could see what was going on. So I did, even though I think I am going to get the run around. I don't know this for sure. But he didn't get back to me today Wednesday. I will be calling and emailing him tomorrow. I really hate dogging a product that is American made, but I hate seeing people get taken too! I can't attach any pictures here, but there is a website where I could and I did. Here is the link to that sight. Go there and check out my pictures and review. It will be under ZBBfan4ever. Here's the link: [...]5/31/2013 UPDATE ON MY REVIEW: I did finally talk to someone at Restore. They told me they would replace the stain so I can redo the railings. As for the spot on the deck floor, they said to just get up the loose stain around the spot I talked about above and re-stain it. We got our pool cover off the pool finally and I happened to notice another spot where the Restore was peeling off other than the one I told you about above. I started working on the first spot. I pulled up long strips of the stain that was loose. It wasn't stuck down and the boards underneath the stain were wet and starting to rot. There was a whitish slimy film on the boards and they were turning black. I have been peeling the stain off the floor of the deck and I noticed that where ever a board had a hairline crack in it, the Restore had cracked there too. This lets water in and the water becomes trapped between the boards and the stain. The crack is so thin it's hardly noticeable. That is until you peel the stuff off and see what's going on underneath. I tried to call the people at Restore at 4:45 central time and got a recording that they closed at 6 pm Monday through Friday. Today is Friday and even if they are on Eastern time, they should still have been answering their phone. Don't forget to go to [...] and see my review with pictures!!!7/4/2013I see that Amazon has removed my link to sodahead where I left a Restore review with pictures. Someone left me a comment and told me that Amazon took off my link. So I am going to put it back on and hopefully Amazon won't remove it this time.[...]
