Did you see that short piece in the weekend paper about sealing projects? It said the edges are the most common spot for sealant to peel up. They stressed that cleaning there is not just a quick wipe but a needed step. It made me remember when my own kitchen tile job went wrong from a dusty grout line. Giving edges a good scrub really does make all the difference for how long it lasts.

Totally, and it saves setup time too like Logan said.

That "rushed forum post" lesson is exactly why I always include model numbers now.

Question how dangerous creosote really is. @janab82 isn't wrong.

Wow, that stubborn hope when a tree fights back is everything, isn't it?
