We will reply to your comment shortly· 06/22/2021Is RAD Stripper supposed to be able to remove Behr Premium Semi-Transparent Waterproofing Stain & Sealer (1-2 coats applied 3 years ago) without using a pressure washer? I prepared as instructed, including using the Booster Stripper Additive and have been scrubbing for 2 hours on 4 deck boards, and there is still quite a lot of residual stain. I'm going to need to repeat the entire RAD stripper process, which means I need at least twice as much RAD stripper as recommended (500 sq foot deck + railings, I only bought enough RAD Stripper to make 5 gallons). This is most definitely not a one-day project for one person.

We will reply to your comment shortlyHelp ... not sure what product(s) were used on this deck by previous owners. I would like restore the wood but not sure what products to use or if sanding is the best way to go. Any advise would be appreciated.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThat is a solid stain. If you want to remove it, then you will need to sand it all off. The other option is to pressure wash off the peeling stain and then cover the intact stain with the RAD Solid Stain: https://www.restore-a-deck.com/restore-a-deck-wood-stain/restore-a-deck-solid-stain.html

We will reply to your comment shortlyWhat’s the best way to remove this white paint on my deck railings? I am stripping and sanding the solid color deck stain on the boards, but this white paint seems much harder to remove
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYou will need to sand this off. Stripping will not remove it.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI have an order of RAD stain samples coming in today. I’m about to strip/brighten an area for my testing. I will be determining my preference on color tomorrow once it has dried & will be putting in my order. I’d like to continue on with the stripping while I wait for my stain to arrive. I’ve read that it is best to stain a few hours after the strip/brightener has been done. Based on the time it is taking me to receive my samples [6 days] I assume it will at least take the same amount of time to receive my new order of stain. My question is: Is 6 days too long to go between stripping & staining or will I have to clean/brighten right before I stain?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyNo, you can stain within 2 weeks of prep.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI'm restoring a 700 sq foot, 16 year old cedar deck. I need to replace many of the rotted boards and re-stain. I'm planning to use the TWP semi-solid pro series stain in a dark grey color. Question: should I use the Restore-A-Deck-Stain Stripper before replacing all the old boards or can I just do that at the end just before staining? Since I will now have a mix of new deck boards with the old boards, is there anything special/different that I need to do? Thanks!
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYou can do this at the end. New wood needs 3-4 months of weathering before prep and staining.

We will reply to your comment shortlyFinished!!! That is a lot of work. Stripped last autumn and washed and brightened our gazebo this year. What a nice job. Thanks for all your tips. My next question is how long will the TWP 200 last. When it’s time to redo it, do we need to strip again, or just washed and stain.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyRedo every 2-3 years is normal. Clean and brighten for prep.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyI've done one round with the stripper, and it did a pretty decent job in most places but there were some that were pretty stubborn. I'd like to give it another go after buying some more along with the additives. My question is should I use the brightener now while I wait for the additional stripper to arrive or can I just wait to brighten after I'm all done.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyBrighten when all done.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyOops, I forgot to mention in the question below that I’ve applied the TWP 200 semi transparent stain
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyWe would not suggest it as over applying can result in curing and drying issues.

We will reply to your comment shortlyWhat are the chemicals in the Deck Stain stripper?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyIt is a blend of different ingredients designed to be effective on wood. We do not divulge the formula but we will email you the SDS sheet.

-
We will reply to your comment shortlyDeck is black after washing off brightener. I used the stripper with booster and thickener, rinsed and then the brightener. User error?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyNeed to redo the brightener. Let is sit for 20-30 minutes before rinsing.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyI used the stripper with the booster and thickener. Some of it along with stain fro removal got on my window and siding. What can I use to clean them?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyTry a water based graffti remover cleaner from your local paint store. Spot test first.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI have 60' of cedar fence to strip and stain with RAD stain. I'll use a power washer. I expect the stripping will take me more than one day as I'm working alone. I read in another post that I can strip in sections. Should I both strip and brighten a section before moving on to the next section, or is it best to strip the whole thing and then come back and brighten all at once? If I need to sand any areas after stripping, should that be done before or after brightening? If after, do I need to clean and/or brighten again before staining? For sanding, what grit of sandpaper should I use?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyIn your scenario, strip all first. If you need to sand, then do this next. Brighten all after.

We will reply to your comment shortlyHello, planning to strip and brighten, however rain is in the forecast. Can i strip and brighten, then wait for rain to stop in weather pattern and stain my deck. Basically Will the rain harm my deck that is prepped and ready? How long can i wait to stain ( live in northwest)? Using Armstrong Clark for stain. Thank you
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyRain does not harm prep. Wait 48 hours after rain or prep to stain with the Armstrong Clark Stains.

We will reply to your comment shortlyHi, we’ve applied the brightener yesterday. Do we need to apply the TWP 200 ASAP or can we wait a couple of days because they are announcing rain for the next couple of days but only 40%. What will happen if it rains on freshly applied stain.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyApply 48 hours after prep and within 14 days of prep. Cannot take a rain for 8-24 hours after applying.

We will reply to your comment shortlyHi, we just finished washing our gazebo and will apply the brightened tomorrow, we bought the semi transparent stain TWP 100 because we live in Canada, do we need to wait 48 hours to apply the stain or 2-4 hours?
-
We will reply to your comment shortly48 hours with TWP.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyWe applied Behr stripper that did not strip the paint on our deck spindles and stairs. Can we apply RAD products on top and will that remove the paint and previous stripper?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyDeck stain strippers will not remove paint.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyMy painter sprayed my deck with a semi transparent stain and applied so thick it looks like a paint. He did not roll or brush after spraying. Will Restore-A-Deck Stain Stripper remove it.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyProbably not if it looks like a paint. You can strip some but you will need to sand to get it all off.

-
We will reply to your comment shortlyWhen applying the brightener, can we wait the next day to stain, and what is the best way to rinse, just by hose or pressure wash
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyRinse with pressure washer. You can stain next day.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyHi, last autumn we stripped our gazebo with the RAD stripper but it was getting too late to stain it so we decided to wait to apply the semi-transparent stain this spring. My question is do we need to clean it before staining it. Or do we just apply the brightener, then the stain.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyClean and brighten now for prep.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyI have an Ipe deck last stained 3 years ago with AC mahogany. The stain is faded and uneven in spots. To get the best even finish, should I use the RAD stripper or cleaner as the first step. I am planning on using the same stain.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyStrip and then brighten.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortly
-
We will reply to your comment shortlywill the stripper or the brightner effect the latex paint on the spindles or on the latex paint on the lap board on the house walls?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyIt does not remove paint.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyI plan on using the stripper as the stain on my deck has worn unevenly. I also have some algae growth on one side of my deck, will the stripper remove and kill this or do I need to treat it first with borax or some other algae killer? If so, in what order should I do this? Thanks.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThe stripper will remove the algae.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyI have ordered stripper,booster and thickening gel. the question I have is once the thickening gel and booster is added how long will you be able to use it in the sprayer?
-
We will reply to your comment shortly24 hours.
