    Sealing the Underside of the Deck

    By Ryan on September 4, 2013 Build Journal

    Henry’s asphalt emulsion will go on the underside of the deck. I provides great protection from the elements and small rocks that get kicked up on the underside of the trailer as you go down the road.

    I masked off the surfaces I didn’t want to get painted.

    I headed my garage to 64 degrees before I started out. The can says 50 is the minimum and it worked well. It was 90% dry by the time I was done.

    This first coat goes on fairly well.  I went back the next day and did some touchup but didn’t add a second coat. It should be safe to work with but I used a respirator since the fumes were noticeable but not overwhelming.

    The final outcome after allowing it to dry for a few days. It should be ready after a few hours but I left it over a weekend. It will dry like a firm sheet of rubber but not fully hard.
