Interior Paint out side

jayal59

I just finished my deck and grabbed what I thought was exterior stain. In fact, it was interior acrylic paint. So I now have a deck with one coat of interior paint on it. Help! what do I do now?

first - I would have a drink because you're in for some extra work... =)

My first reaction would be to run out and grab a deck stain removal stripper like Ben Moore's "Remove". That should probably take up most of what you just put down. Clean it as best as you can, let it dry out for a day or so, then go over the deck with an acrylic solid deck stain. I think you should be fine.

good luck!
