[QUOTE="mikejjmay, post: 449724, member: 23447"] On a previous deck i made i used the west system epoxy and resin to "waterproof". Really really good system, but expensive. I just finished my deck on my current project, and this time i was doing it on the cheap. Before putting on straight spar, trying doing the first few coats with the spar-boiled linseed-mineral spirits mix. I think the ratio i used was 1:1:2. you basically keep applying til it puddles on the wood. This allows it to really soak deep into the wood and help seal. After that dried, then i put a coat of straight spar on the outside. Maybe im imagining things (this was the only time ive ever done it this way), but it soaked up a ton of this mix, and Im all for having interior protection on the wood and not just on the surface.
