Speaking of problems with decks, I have a 600 sq ft deck with built in brick planters, dry storage underneath with full concrete pad and the lifetime vinyl I installed lasted 13 years. Had to pull it all off, repair the rotten wood and decided to replace the surface with an industrial roof system. Put on this Georgia Pacific product called Densdeck coated with two layers of a liquid, trowelled on urethane membrane from Sika.
Did all that stuff, applied the Sika and ended up using double the estimated amount plus the stuff started to bubble. Called the factory rep, they inspected and said...I applied it too thick. When I told them I had followed the instructions to the letter they said "the instructions are wrong, the trowel size is way too big". Terribly sorry, but you should have known better (!!!)
Out of the kindness of their heart, they offered to replace half of the membrane product (which as about $4 per sq. ft.) but the labour was up to me to sand off the old membrane and replace it.
To make a long story short, I complained to Home Depot where I bought the stuff....they actually stood up for me, got all the new product I needed, supplied a floor sander and paper to sand off the old stuff and generally were quite good about it.
But no compensation for my 2 weeks of labour....sigh.
And relevant to the thread, while I had problems with application, the Sika product itself was outstanding. You might consider using it....I think it is called Sikalastic 180.
