How does the falling of pollen affect you folks in relation to sealing decks? Had a job delayed because of the pollen around here. It hadn't even crossed my mind.

.

I'm not concerned about allergies by the way. I thinking of the potential of whatever is painted or stained getting covered in pollen.
I guess there are just some questions one should not ask in an open forum.

Never heard of that before, maybee alabama has large crops nearby that release lots of pollen at this time of year? I use twp and nothing sticks to it, we even seal when the cottonwoods/leaves are falling. Some sealers (film formers/thick/shiny) everything will stick to.

It can be very bad here. I still need to clean my van from leaving a window down. As deck cleaning for others will be a new venture for me, I had not given it any thought until the ho brought it up. I have seen it a lot worse than it has been this year. This ho has an auto restoration business. They had painted a GTO blue one day, next day it had a yellow/greenish layer on it.
