NOTE: You must use PermaBond as a primer coat and is purchased separately. 

Deck Revive Full Kit Coverage: Depending on the condition of the wood and the application technique, two coats will cover approximately 200 square feet.

DeckRevive is a one-of-a-kind polymer coating that resurfaces and restores aging wood decks, walkways, steps and more, allowing you to enjoy your existing structure for years! Just add one gallon of gloss exterior acrylic latex paint of any color and roll on with everyday paint tools.

  • locks down splinters
  • fills in cracks
  • slip-resistant
  • environmentally friendly

Deck Revive is a DIY acrylic based polymer deck coating that resurfaces old decks, docks, and other treated lumber — in ANY color you choose.  Deck Revive repairs and protects wood structures from the constant expansion and contraction cycle that destroys wood.

Traditional deck stains, deck paints, and deck sealers just put new color on old splinters, cracks, and nailheads and have to be re-applied annually.  Deck Revive actually fills in cracks and knots,  locks down splinters and nailheads,  and provides a new slip-resistant textured surface that lasts for years.

Our Deck Revive coating will give you a new durable, scuff, stain and fire-resistant surface that requires zero to little maintenance.  So easy to apply with everyday paintbrushes and rollers and tools clean up with water.  Dries quickly for minimal time-out-of-service.  It can be applied in the morning and enjoyed that evening.

Your Deck Revive kit contains a liquid component and a dry component.   To these, you add one gallon of ANY color of exterior latex paint.  Color choice is unlimited – you can have any color your paint store can mix up!

Deck Revive is an environmentally-friendly choice.  It is water-based, VOC-free and non-toxic.  When you refurbish existing wood structures with Deck Revive, you prolong their service life and keep them out of landfills.

Save thousands over the cost of replacement or annual deck stain and deck seal maintenance when you choose Deck Revive.  You’ll also save time — so you can spend more of it enjoying your outdoor living spaces, not maintaining them!

So take your shoes off and start enjoying your old deck with our revolutionary resurfacing coating. Your family, friends, and kids can run around splinter free for years to come.

Not an inquiry, just a glowing review .... Just finished my last two 200 sq ft porches on my home. I have 4, two on the front of the house and two on the back. I believe it's been 3 years since I covered the first one and it still looks like it did when I first applied your Deck Revive. For my last one, I had my son helping me and since the process went quicker, the finish turned out better then when I did it by myself. Also what helped was I used 3 inch painters tape around any columns and anywhere else that I would have otherwise had to use a paint brush, which allowed me to use a roller for the entire job which made it so much quicker and easier on the back. That would be my recommendations for a large application. Love your product, surprised that some or the big box stores haven't contacted you.

We used this about two years ago, and it\'s been great! We haven\'t had one little patch come off yet. The Deck Revive/Perma Bond combo has been awesome. It's more expensive, but you'll make your money back in all the saved labor when you only have to seal your deck once. Follow directions, do it right the first time, and you'll save yourself a lot of time and money. Note: I did NOT receive any free/discounted product for this review. It\'s hard to find information about this product, so i wanted to post this review to help others looking for a quality deck sealer.

In the spring of 2017 my wife and I purchased a small cabin in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. The cabin had a deck that needed some TLC. The low humidity sun filled days had taken a toll on the wood. I searched the internet for something more than stain. I found Gulf Synthetics Deck Revive Kit. I purchased the Perma Bond and Deck Revive. Strictly following the step by step procedure produced a really nice result. I was impressed. It looked great. But how would it hold up. After one year it still looks like the day I put it on. No peeling. The old saying you get what you pay for could not be more true here. I am very satisfied with ther products and would highly recommend them.

So far so good - we just painted our very old deck and it actually looks and feels good on our feet. Hooray!

Used this product last year in 2015 and looks great after the first Winter. No issue with any peeling! Application was easy. Really like the Perma Bond primer. Makes it really easy for the Deck Revive to adhere to our old deck paint. So far so good!

    I’ve read every faq and each comment/response from the faq and Deck Revive Kit pages (all greatly appreciated!)
    Am I correct on the suitability or not of the paints below—descriptions are from product pages and/or TDS. I put in ALL-CAPS terms that might be why a paint isn’t for use with Deck Revive:

    Not? Ben. Moore Floor Patio WATERBORNE Acrylic URETHANE formulated with a <URETHANE-modified alkyd resin>

    Not? PPG Floor & Porch Interior/Exterior Latex 100% acrylic floor and porch paint <URETHANE fortified> 

    Yes? Ben. Moore Impervex Latex High Gloss Enamel <PROPRIETARY Acrylic Latex> “quick-drying, high gloss enamel...with a wide variety of interior and exterior surfaces.”

    Yes? PPG Speedhide Interior/Exterior Latex <Our best interior/exterior 100% acrylic gloss> but note, “<It can be used on exterior trim, but NOT ON BODIES OF HOMES.>

    Not? PPG Advantage 900 Interior/Exterior <STYRENE Acrylic WATERBORNE, very fast dry, acrylic enamel developed to have many characteristics of an alkyd enamel >

    Yes? Sherwin Williams SuperPaint Exterior Acrylic Latex <with advanced acrylic resin technology > in Gloss or High Gloss

    7. In a 2020 response, you said you’d use (#6) SW Superpaint over Behr Premium Porch and Patio Floor Paint Enamel (100% acrylic latex )—still true in 2023?

    I truly thank you very much—our Revive Kits and PermBonds have arrived!

      Yes, and it is fairly easy. It has to be an exterior acrylic water-based paint that is high gloss.

    Can you recoat Deck Revive if still is good shape but just worn a bit (seems thinner less texture than when new) and just clean/wash deck, apply Permabond and then Deck Revive? If yes, still two coats or would one suffice?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      Gulf Synthetics · 05/23/2023
      Pressure wash to clean and apply Permabond when dry. One coat of the Deck Revive should work if using the same color.

      No need to add paint to ther PermaBond. Only needs to be added to the Deck Revive.

    T Gammon · 04/14/2023
    1) Can Deck Revive be applied to railings?
    2) How long do you have to wait to apply to new pine -- 5 stairs risers were installed about 6 weeks ago. The next of the deck was constructed about last June.
    3) Is there a special procedure for cleaning before the Permabond is applied?

    Pippa · 04/13/2023
    Is my deck even a candidate for this product or is it too far gone? I’m not quite sure where to start beyond trying to secure the loose boards and replace those that are warped. I can’t afford to replace the whole deck this year, but I’d like to get it to a better place. The structure below is still sound. It has stain on it now. Do I secure the boards with new nails and replace some of the worst boards, then pressure wash, then sand, and then use your product?
    Thank you for any feedback.
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      Gulf Synthetics · 04/13/2023
      You will need to replace those bad boards, let the new wood weather for 3 months, pressure wash, sand if needed, Permabond, then the Deck Revive.

    Jim · 04/06/2023
    Can you use an acrylic deck stain as the color additive instead of paint .....so that the rest of the deck stain can be used for the railings and makes a better color match?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      Gulf Synthetics · 04/06/2023
      No, it must be gloss paint that is added to the Deck Revive. It will not be glossy once mixed and applied. Getting a matching deck stain color for the railings.

    It says to mix one gallon of regular paint.  Do we have to bring this to closest Home Depot or lowes for them to mix 
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      Gulf Synthetics · 04/02/2023
      You buy the acrylic latex gloss paint first and then mix it into the kit at home just before use.

    I have an covered porch (western Oregon) approx. 600sq ft last painted with Olympic Deck rescue which is peeling. I need to recover the deck I plan on pressure wash light sand prime etc but all the previous coating will not be removed will this product work 
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      Gulf Synthetics · 02/28/2023
      You will need to fully remove the Olympic Rescue-It before switching to any brand as no "new" coating will fix the issues with the Olympic peeling.

    I am looking at a 450 sqft deck, six steps, railings, and fascia trim. Can I get away with 2 DeckRevive and 2 Permabond?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      Gulf Synthetics · 02/23/2023
      No. You will need more than 2 Deck Revives as you have over 500 sq feet when you add up everything.

    Tim · 09/18/2022
    I have a 380sqft deck that was in very poor shape prior to purchasing the house. I found the permabond only covered about 200sqft, so I will need to order another bucket of that. I will just split my deck in half and complete one half first..

    The instructions say the dry compounds should break down completely and the mixture smooth and viscous. My experience is that the mixture was still gritty and not smooth, no matter how long I mixed it. Did I do something wrong? 
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      Gulf Synthetics · 09/18/2022
      No. It is supposed to be gritty not smooth. Not possible for it to be smooth.

    1) What is the shelf-life? I have 2 unused kits of deck revive left over from a project 4 seasons ago.  Is the product still good to use, or will the chemistry "go bad" after a certain time? 
    2) I'm not sure whether it may have been exposed to freezing temperatures during that time.  If it had, would that harm the liquid resin? 
    3) During that time, we lost one of the 5lb bags of dry chemistry.  is it possible to order an individual bag?
    4) Finally, I see on the permabond label that you can optionally add a quart of paint.  Is this recommended?  will it affect the adhesion properties of the product?
    Thank you.
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      Gulf Synthetics · 08/23/2022
      1. Shelf life is about 3 years so hard to say if good. Check the liquid to make sure it has a smooth consistency.
      2. If it froze it is bad.
      3. No, it is not.
      4. No, do not add paint to it. 
      • We will reply to your comment shortly
        Daniel · 08/24/2022
        Ok, thank you.  Is there any way to identify if it previsouly froze?  Would it be evident by color or consistency?  The liquid has a smooth milky consistency - no separation or coagulation.

    In the instruction sheet, it notes:

    "If you desire, rusty nails can be spot primed with a rust inhibitive primer
    found at your local paint store. See manufacturers recommended rust inhibitive primer specification sheet."

    1. Where is the manufacturers recommended rust inhibitive primer specification sheet?
    2. I assume this rust inhibitive primer should be applied prior to the PermaBond.  Is this a step that I can do a couple days ahead of time or even a couple weeks? 

    Thank you!
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      Gulf Synthetics · 08/02/2022
      1. We do not have one but any rust primer should work.
      2. Apply it first. Does not matter when.

        Thank you for the quick response.

        I’m slowly chipping away at restoring my deck and hope to paint in late September, once the replacement boards I laid in July have a chance to weather and dry out. Most of my deck is old wood that I painstakingly removed what appears to be Behr Deckover from, which revealed some deep cracks and knots that need filling. I plan to use the recommended Quickrete to do this.

        1. Can I fill with Quickrete now, nearly a month before applying DeckRevive?
        2. Must I use Permabond as the primer for the quickrete step? I have not yet ordered my Deck Revive kit and Permabond and would like to be able to do this filling step now while I have some free time. If I can use another primer for this step, would you be able to recommend something?
        3. Deck and stairs total to 315 square feet. I assume 2 Deck Revive kits, 1 gallon Permabond? 
        • We will reply to your comment shortly
          Gulf Synthetics · 08/23/2022
          1. Yes.
          2. Yes use the Permabond prior for best results.
          3. Correct.

      You must use the Permabond before the Deck Revive. It will not work correctly without it.  Use a filler prior if needed.

    I used this two years ago on a large deck, and I am very happy. That deck was 26 years old. I now need to do another deck, in better shape, at my cabin. However, there we like to go out on the deck in our bare feet, and the first deck I did too rough after I redid it to do that. Is there an option without the gritty stuff?

      You do both on the same day. Apply Permabond, wait an hour or two, and then do the deck revive.

    I'm wanting to go with a lighter grey but I know it's going to show dirt quicker. How well does this hold up to power washing? Light spray, enough to clean only...not a strong spray for stripping, of course.
