I'm currently in the process of making templates for my new deck. In the mean time I'm wondering how best to dress up my stringer tops before the new deck goes down. The stringers are in good condition but have lots of screw holes from the prior deck. I had to grind off several screws that were rusted and broke off when trying to back them out. I was thinking of just sanding the tops and down the sides about an inch, then coating them real well with expoxy resin. Is that all I need to do?
