FastenMaster Deck Frame Coating

FastenMaster, a division of OMG Inc., has introduced its Deck Frame Coating, a water-based sealant that is reported to help extend the life of decks by creating a lasting moisture barrier. The new coating is designed to be rolled or painted onto the top of deck joists, ledger boards, stair stringers, posts, beams, and other framing components, and serves to deter wood rot and decay. After application it’s workable in 20 minutes, so it won’t slow down decking pros during installation. Once dry, the coating creates a durable seal around deck fasteners. In addition, it is highly effective for use in corners and other hard-to-reach places where joist tapes have difficulty providing full coverage. FastenMaster Deck Frame Coating is available in 1-gallon buckets, which covers up to 450 linear feet of 2x framing. fastenmaster.com
