Do you have experience with using a gloss coat over the whole pea-gravel portion of the decking? With the filler they recommend using the Eagle Gloss Coat, which seems to have great reviews. Just wondering if it would look good on our type of decking. Gloss Coat Clear Wet Look Solvent-Based...

This looks like exactly what I need. Specific to pea gravel. Thanks!

The decking around my pool is currently out-dated and needs to be replacing. It was added much later than the pool and they used a pea-stone surface. In the summer it turns in to lava. In the past 1 year or so, the cracking of the decking has been getting progressively worse. Around the edges...
