So yesterday in San Luis Obispo, I’m finishing up securing a couple of posts on a deck we just redid, and I’m kneeling in the sun on the deck and put my hand down on the coating…ouch damn that’s hot!

I wonder how hot? So I got out my new infrared thermometer…and measured. Hot deck, cool deck in the shade. What a difference…62 degrees cooler!

So even though it wasn’t that hot (80’s), you can see what your poor deck goes through with the torture tests. Can’t wait until summer and I’m down Palm Springs way o see what readings I get out there.
