Look at STK cedar instead of PT.
STK=straight grain tight knots

Nope, still solid and doesn’t look bad at all.

Jeff, there is a difference between being "solid" and being suitable for the application. New pressure treated 5/4 x 6 decking might do the job when new. But it sounds like yours has degraded to the point that it is no longer suitable for your family to walk on barefoot.... And you are not going to be able to walk back the damage done by years of sun, snow, and rain.

It’s only in a few places, if it was all over I’d agree. My question was really if any adhesive had a chance to hold or I should just cut it out. I’d like to get another five years out of it.
