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 have a coverage question. I measure my porch and steps to be 282 sq ft, round up to 300 sq ft. Your coverage is ~ 200 sq ft per gallon. Do you sell DR in 1/2 gallons? Do I have to mix the entire kit, or can I just mix what I need And how long can it be stored mixed and unmixed? Could I use the leftover for touch up down the road? Thanks!

      Nothing smaller than full kits and you have to mix it all. It cannot be stored for later.

    Our wood porch and steps need to be repainted. I'm not sure if the previous paint was a step/deck sealer or not. Is there a way to tell? If the surface was sealed, I will need to remove it before using Deck Revive. But if it is just paint, I only need to remove loose material. Is that right?

    My porch is 8'x14' or 112sq ft.. One kit covers 200sq ft.. I'm assuming that one kit would give me 3 coats instead of 2.. The perma bond also would allow for multiple coats.. Would it be best to only use 1 coat of perma bond (as recommended) or more? The same for the kit, just 2 coats and dispose of rest or use for a 3rd coat?

    how much can i expect to pay for enough Deck Revive and the permabond for a 3200 sf pressure treated dock in bad condition 
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      Gulf Synthetics · 08/11/2021
      You would need about 16 of the Deck Revive Kits and 10 of the Permabonds.

    So I have just replaced my old deck, built a new Pressure treated wood deck...can I use the Deck revive on the new wood? Do I need the perma bond as well? My deck is about 16ft by 24ft, how many kits will I need?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      Gulf Synthetics · 08/04/2021
      You have to let the new wood weather for 3 months or longer and then pressure wash for prep. You must use the Permabond. 2 kits would cover 384 sq feet.

    I have used your product for clients before and recommend it often. Is the package of sand in the kit necessary for the chemistry bonding aspects or is it for added grip? If chemistry can you give details as to why? Thanks.

      For it to properly work the entire contents must be used.

    I have sanded the deck with a 40 grit drum sander down to raw wood. I was planning on using deck and porch paint with Deck Revive as apposed to a siding gloss paint. Does the porch and floor paint pose any issues working with Deck Revive? I figured mixing a more bomber deck paint with your product would make it tougher. Thoughts?

    Hello.  I am planning to apply the Deck Revive on the deck floor only.  For the rails and spindles, can I use just the acrylic latex exterior gloss paint with a coat of wood sealer?  This will allow me to have the same color for the floor, rails, and spindles.
    Also, are you aware if the Home Depot/Lowes paints work will with your product?

      Better to use a solid color deck stain, not paint, and match the paint color.

        I used the same paint for railing but in a satin....eggshell finish. Matched perfectly. Im on my 5th year and this stuff is still going strong.

    Glenn · 07/25/2021
    I purchased Deck Revive and am going to try to match a solid stain on the railings with Deck Revive on the deck.  How well does the dried Deck Revive match the paint that was mixed into it? Can I expect the color to be very similar to the paint sample, or different in some way that I must take into account? If the latter, how would you proceed? Thanks.

    Do you need to use a deck cleaner or simple green type product when you power wash the deck?

    I have been preparing my deck for Deck Revive and have been removing loose material from the board sides in the gaps. When I apply Deck Revive, is it necessary that I brush between the boards to get the sides and joist top, or can I expect that rolling tp surface will cover those areas?  Thx.

    Does it hold up to shoveling?  My deck is the main entrance into my house so it has to be shoveled in the winter.

      Gulf Synthetics · 07/16/2021
      Never use a metal edge snow shovel on a deck as no stain will be able to withstand damage. If rubber-edged, it should be okay.

    Can I apply this over an existing acrylic sold stain like Cabot stains? Or do I need to strip it all off?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      Gulf Synthetics · 06/22/2021
      You do not have to strip it all off but you do need to pressure wash to remove dirt, loose peeling stain, etc.

    I just finished paintingy deck today with Deck Revive.  The deck is very gritty and feels like 40 grit sand paper.  Is this normal?  Is there anything I can do or apply on it to make less gritty?  Thanks.
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      Gulf Synthetics · 06/19/2021
      Yes, this is normal and is designed this way. You cannot make it smoother.

    I just used Deck Revive on my deck steps, and it looks great. My question is, I need re-do the deck railings but don't want the grit look, so can I just mix the paint with the polymer and apply it that way?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      Gulf Synthetics · 06/03/2021
      The better option would be to match the paint color to a proper solid color deck stain.

    I just finished sanding all the old stain of my deck with 60 grit.  JOY!  The deck is 560 sq. ft. with another 40 for the stairs (600 total).  Can you confirm how many Perma and DR Kits I will need?

    My dry compound hasn't disovled completely when mixed.  The mixture is gritty.
    Is it supposed to be like this?

    I used Rust Oleum Restore about 12 years ago and it is now time to apply something again.  Can I use your product in this situation and if so, what would I have to do to the deck so the Revive would "take?"  Thank you.
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      Gulf Synthetics · 05/26/2021
      You will have to sand off the Rust-Oleum as no coating can be applied over that. Sorry.

    Mike C · 05/25/2021
    What is different between your product and the Rust-Oleum Deck Restore?  I used the Rust-Oleum Deck Restore many years ago and have been unhappy since day 1.  Started the painful process to remove it but I fear I won't be able to stain it.  Looking for options.

      Gulf Synthetics · 05/26/2021
      Completely different formulas and technology. Theirs fails, and ours does not. 
      FYI, you cannot use the Gulf over the Rust-oleum. You will have to fully remove that product first and that will require heavy duty sanding.

    Can you recommend another wood fill product since your permafill product is discontinued?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly

      We would recommend Quikrete Quick Setting Filler as an option. You can buy small plastic containers of it at any local hardware store.

    I have a wooden dock that comes in 4' x 4' sections and simply lay on the frame. So they are very easy to move around. Should I apply deck revive to both the top and bottom side of these dock pieces? Is there an advantage to applying to the bottom side? Or is that just a waste?

    Hello, Our deck area is 240 sq. ft.  We will need to order 2 kits for this area (since you have discontinued the 1/4 kits)... My question is, if we precisely proportionally measure can we split up a kit so that we don't have so much left over/waste? If this isn't possible can we do 3 or 4 coats? And if we do additional coats do they all need to be done the same day?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      Gulf Synthetics · 05/21/2021
      No, you cannot split up the kit. It needs to be mixed all at once. More is not always better so we would not add additional coats.

    I want to apply this to my dock that stretches over a lake where we get our drinking water and fish. Is this coating made with non-toxic materials or do I need to pull the boards off the dock and apply on land?

    What is the final sheen once the gloss paint is mixed with the dry? I won't be using Deck Revive on the spindles and want to match the paint with the Deck Revive sheen.

    I’m replacing some old boards but I don’t want to wait 3 months to let it dry to paint.can I leave the new wood unpainted and then come back after the wood is dry and paint it.or just gamble and paint it while still wet.what will be the result of painting new pressure treated wood without it drying?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      Gulf Synthetics · 05/13/2021
      You cannot apply to the new wood for at least 3 months so best to leave them. Doing it too soon can lead to premature failure.

    I am refinishing my deck. It used to be painted and its chipping. I have had to replace some boards that were rotting.   I wasn't paying attention and got regular 2x6 boards (douglas fir, I think).   Will that matter in the long run if I use DeckRevive and PermaBond?  Do I need to pull those back out and put in Redwood or Cedar (not sure what kind the old wood is). Thanks.
