JoistCote™ is a water-based protective coating engineered as a deck tape alternative, formulated to protect and extend the service life of deck framing. Applied by roller or brush, it dries quickly to a smooth, tack-free finish and coats joists, beams, and other framing surfaces that standard deck tape struggles to reach.
Key Features
- Dries smooth with no tackiness
- Protects and extends the life of the deck frame
- Coverage: 1 gallon covers 480 linear feet
- Freeze/thaw stable for year-round storage
- Water-based formula cleans up easily with soap and water
- Saves time and labor versus taping framing members
- Coats framing surfaces where tape is difficult to apply
Application
Stir before use and apply to clean, debris-free framing with a bristle brush or 2″ high-density roller. Coat generously until the surface is fully opaque with no visible wood grain. Sets to the touch in 30–60 minutes and fully cures in 24 hours; install deck boards only once the coating is completely dry.
Storage
Store in a cool, ventilated area (max 104°F) and protect from freezing. Resealable for reuse; use unopened product within one year.
