We are offering a new wood sealant this year. Cretowood is a sealer that pentrates deep into the wood petrifying the inside so that the wood/deck will never rot or decay. This is a one time application that will stabalize the wood forever. This product is completely different from any of our other products for sale. Your wood or deck will still need to be treated with a top coat stain/sealer if you want prevent your wood from turning gray. If you are concerned with rot and decay then you should add this to your wood prior to any other finishes. This product will never need to be reapplied. It is pemament.
Reading through some of the posts on your Deck Restoration blog I noticed that you mentioned that over application can stop the wood from breathing and it will be subject to dry rot. Will that be a problem with CtetoWood as it seals the wood permanently?
Thanks for all the good information on your blogs.
Over application is bad for any deck finishes that stay near the surface of the wood. Too much can cause the stains to film-form instead of penetrating resulting in premature product failure.
Creto is very different. I penetrates deeply into the wood. This product reacts with the internal wood cells hyrdating into glass. This petrifies the inside. It will not create a film on top of the surface.

My deck is beginning to show some signs of rot. Can I still use this product or is it too late?
You can use this product to stop rot where the wood is still good. It will not repair the rotted areas.
I'm stripping the paint off of a 1932 cape cod - can I use this on the shingles and is it paintable?
As long as the wood is bare you can coat with the Cretowood. It will not hinder any top coating from attaching to the wood properly.
