I'm trying to avoid getting it back to amber. If you pressure wash it and put
the oil based preservative on it does come back to amber. I don't want that.
I did hear that CS would preserve the wood, so am trying to find out what
process to use to get CS strong enough to preserve the wood without pressure
washing it...

You are kidding! The only way I know to get the wood back to the amber is to
pressure wash it, which I just did to my deck a couple of days ago. Maybe you
have hit on another use for CS!

Somewhere, sometime, following a link, I seem to remember that if you tread
bare wood with silver, you won't need to have it pressure treated. I have a
deck that is just yellow pine and is a very nice gray color after about 3 years
in the sun. I like the color, but if I use the treatment recommended it turns
back to the original gold wood color which I don't like. What method of making
silver would be best to use for spraying this decking for preserving it with
silver? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
