Spring Cleaning www.bcaa.com Deck-oration Tips With summer just around the corner, many homeowners are itching to tackle outdoor chores such as painting or staining of decks, siding and fencing. It���s important to note, though, that surface preparation is key for �� urability and shine ��� and weather plays an d important role. Why? Wood soaks up water in the rains and snows of fall and winter, and new stains and other treatments work best when wood surfaces are dry. Staining too early in the year can also lead to blistering and peeling, because wood pores are still saturated, leaving nowhere for stains to penetrate. Bottom line: It���s important to have clear, dry weather before, during and after applying stains, so that they have enough time to ���cure.��� The deal: Members save 30% on Cloverdale Paints��� ���Sharkskin��� ��� the ���ultimate��� water-repellant, scuff-resistant deck and siding stain. ��� bcaa.com/cloverdale 38 W e s t w o r l d p38-39_YourBCAA.indd 38 The result: FROGBOX���s stackable, reusable, industrial-plastic moving boxes (with lids) have landed the Vancouver-based enterprise among Forbes��� 100 Most Promising Companies and Entrepreneur magazine���s Top 10 Hot Start-Ups, captured 2011���s Best B.C.
