Product Description

+

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 covers 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.

Starborn JoistCote protects deck framing from moisture intrusion, helping prevent rot and extend the life of wood structures.
Creates a durable moisture barrier on deck framing Helps prevent rot, decay, and water damage Ideal for joists, beams, ledgers, and deck substructures

For LTL Freight (Common Carrier) Items:

We use LTL freight for safe and efficient delivery. Your order will be scheduled for delivery, and it's important to note that for decking deliveries, a homeowner needs to be on hand to unload the product.
