    Excellent product. Used for the first time today. I stripped and brightened a small deck today and have three more decks and a ton of siding left. How do I prevent wood from becoming fuzzy?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      RAD Products · 10/22/2020
      It cannot be prevented fully. It is part of the process of stripping off previous coatings. Using a brightener as soon as possible helps.

    I want to strip the oil stain from my IPE deck, which sits on a metal roof that is coated with Calbar paint. Beyond covering the roof with a tarp, which is not possible in some areas, can you suggest ways that I can protect the paint from the stripper? Or is this something I do not need to worry about?

      RAD Products · 10/09/2020
      The stripper will not remove paint. Just prewet and rinse any overspray.

    Hi, I sealed my deck a couple years ago with Deck Restoration plus Seneca Brown. I wasn't too happy so I decided to give RAD a try. I purchased the Stripper/Brightener and 5 gallons of Semi Transparent Dark Walnut. Today I did half of the deck. I used the stripper then scrubbed with a brush and then I cleaned it all off with my pressure washer. I then used the Brightener and was kind of surprised it didn't almost immediately to bright wood I let it sit on there for about 10 minutes and not much of a change. I rinsed it for 20 minutes or so. I have some rough spots and I intend on sanding them. After sanding can I apply the RAD stain or should I do something else?

        Sorry to waste your time. It looked fine when it dried out. I was not able to get a picture quick enough and we had a little rain shower. My plan is to sand it in a few days now that the old stain is removed then clean and brighten then stain. Does that sound okay?

    We plan to use stripper on our gazebo in the AM. We have sanded the red cedar since it had a semi opaque stain on it. It looks almost new. It has vertical 8 of 6X6 beams and wooden railings around. Will a garden sprayer work best for application? Can it just be power washed off? It’s a larger gazebo about 4 feet off the ground. We were thinking of doing 1/2 then rinsing and then doing other half because of the time involved. Then use brightener. I would like your opinion please. Thank you

      Yes, you can spray on the stripper and pressure wash off. You can split up the stripping into sections.

    Will this stripper work on the deck spindles to remove Superdeck semi-transparent stain that darkened a lot over the years ? I've already cleaned them with a brush and oxiclean and a lot has come off but there are still many spots that still have the dark stain.

    Thank you.

      Yes, use both additives to make it easier: https://www.restore-a-deck.com/rad-stain-stripper-additives.html

        N. I. · 09/23/2020
        Thank you for your quick reply. I had a lot of the spindles replaced since they were rotten - please see pictures. I know I should let the new wood weather for a few months. I'll buy the stripper with the two additives you have recommended - since winter is almost coming here, is it better to wait until spring to strip and brighten the spindles and then stain both new and old wood ? It'll take me a long time to strip everything and it might be too cold to apply the stain on the cleaned/brightened wood once done and then in the spring I might have to re-clean it and then stain the new wood. What would you recommend ? I'd like to switch to TWP stain in the redwood color. The current one is Superdeck and it's so dark and ugly now. Thank you!

      It does not harm vinyl siding but always prewet and rinse well any overspray. Makes clean up easier.

        OK, I will trust you! just tried another stripper on a small portion of my deck while waiting for the RAD stripper to arrive. I had another sprayer and it came out in a solid stream which was useless. Hopefully the RAD stripper with the Chapin sprayer will allow more of a coverage stream

    Hi! I just stripped RAD semi-transp stain with RAD stripper and then brightened. The stripping was difficult, and I left behind some fuzzies. Some are worse than others.

    Can I sand with eighty grit and then stain? Or is that not necessary? Thanks.

    Hi - Couple of questions. I stripped sikkens stain with RAD stripper. It took a long time, multiple applications but getting there. I now plan to lightly sand and then will use RAD brightener before RAD stain. Qs.

    1. It may be couple weeks (maybe 3) between strip/sand and final application of brightener. Is that okay? As long as I eventually use brighter this season before stain?

    2. In some areas I had tough time getting stain off (maybe 10-20%, see pics). Okay to spot sand those with orbital sander prior to brightener? Most other sanding is light to remove some fuzzing.
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      RAD Products · 08/10/2020
      1. Yes, that is okay.
      2. Be careful of spot sanding. It can lead to uneven stain coverage if sanded too smooth.

    Hi,
    We are going to stain our deck with semi-transparent TWP 100 stain. Since 2013 the deck has been stained with other transparent-stain brands 2 times and the last time was in 2016 . I was wondering if just stain stripper + brightener would be enough or we need to sand it first? Thanks for your help.

      Let it weather for about 1-2 months and then use both the RAD Cleaner and Brightener for prep. Just one coat of the RAD Stain.

    We recently purchased a property with a large boat dock and many stairs leading to is. The top boards (2x6) are rough and a least 10 years old, but appear to be salvageable - see the images. We'd like to try the semi-transparent stain (primarily due to the dark walnut color) to recover these boards but in need of thoughts on how to best proceed. What do you recommend? Pressure-wash/brighten/stain? Pressure-wash/stripper/brighten/stain? Pressure-wash/cleaner/brighten/stain?

      RAD Products · 08/03/2020
      You have a solid stain on your deck and that will not come off with a stripper or pressure washing so the only way to get it back to natural wood would be to power sand it all off.
      • We will reply to your comment shortly
        Dean · 08/03/2020
        Would it make a difference if we used a solid stain to cover the existing instead? Or will the stains simply not adhere because of the previous stain?
        • We will reply to your comment shortly
          RAD Products · 08/04/2020
          You can use a solid stain over the existing stain but you will need to strip and pressure wash off the peeling or loose stain. Any coating this is left and not peeling can be covered with the RAD Solid Stain.

    Just moved into this house, don't know anything about the deck.

    1. From the pictures, do you think I need your booster or gel additives with the stripper?
    2. Deck is for the 2nd story, and there is concrete underneath (1st floor). Do I need to do anything to protect the concrete from the stripper or brightener?
    3. The underside of the deck boards have some green, maybe algae; should I spray the bottom of the deck boards with the stripper? (Sorry no pictures of that)
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      RAD Products · 07/29/2020
      1. Use both additives to be certain it comes off well.
      2. No need.
      3. You do not have to but can just pressure wash to clean. We would not use stripper there as it could get all over your head, etc.

    Thanks for the timely response. I learned a lot from your websites Q and A. My wife and I are replacing the dreadful spindles with stockade fencing, the treads and risers are getting replaced...looks great. I've been sanding the posts, fascia, and stringers with 40 grit on a random orbit sander..tedious. Can I use the stripper with a booster on these? Or am I relegated to sanding hell?

    Mixing your RAD stripper and area that splashed on the deck left it a rust red color, what is remedy to resolve this? Also first applications to deck also left the railing rust red. Has gel mixed in with it, was essentially solid in the bottle and very hard to get to thin.

      That is normal to darken and why you must neutralize with the brightener after to restore the pH balance.

    7 year old deck. Multiple layers of stain, now just starting to peel off. Semi-solid stain has been used. I have ordered the stripper to start fresh. Most recent stain is Sherman Williams Semi Solid. Will it work very good in taking it off?

    I have recently replaced the old wood railings with new aluminum railings. Please advise if i have to cover up the aluminum railings before I apply the stripper and the brightener to remove the old semi-transparent stain on the deck. I am afraid the stripper and brightener will damage the paint/finish of the railings.

    Hello, would this product work to remove a two tone (white railing; maroon-ish floor) deck that's either solid color stain or exterior paint? If not, should I just sand to remove as much as I can before applying a new coat of stain or paint? Thanks!

      A stripper will not remove a solid stain fully but it will help to prep by removing what is loose and dirty so you can then recoat with another solid stain.

      That is an internal product that "supposedly" hardens the wood. Nothing can remove it and it does not help with UV graying.

    I have a tigerwood deck (hardwood). I have used natural restore a deck three years in a row. Next year I would like to try the restore a deck light walnut.
