    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?

          No, you cannot strip this. This is on the wood as a solid opaque stain now. It will have to be sanded to remove.

    I have plants around my deck and a vegetable garden a few about 10 feet away. Will the restore a deck stripper harm these plants? Does it poison the soil, will I still be able to eat the vegetables?

      Cover nearby plants from overspray. It does not poison the soil.

    When rinsing-off the deck stain STRIPPER after application, will the diluted run-off solution affect painted window trim surfaces located on the sidewall located underneath the deck?

      It should not unless the paint is peeling. Rinse the window trim as well when done.

    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!
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      RAD Products · 06/16/2020
      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.

          It looks very think, almost like a paint laying on top. Strip off what you can with the RAD stripper and both additives: https://www.restore-a-deck.com/rad-stain-stripper-additives.html

          Let dwell of up to an hour and then pressure wash off. You may need to sand some difficult to remove areas. Brighten last.

      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. I am guessing I will need to strip the deck instead of clean for a new stain? Will I need any additives for the restore a deck stripping agent when I do it next year?

    Just used the RAD stripper on my deck. There appears to be quite a lot of fuzz on the deck now. Should I let it dry, sand it, and then use the brightener; or should I go ahead and brighten to neutralize today and then sand and brighten again in a few days? Thanks

    Terri · 05/24/2020
    Hi there…….We are in the midst of cleaning our very large deck with the cleaner, which always worked well. There are some black blotchy spots that are really difficult to remove. Should we, and can we, use the stripper only on these areas? We do not need to fully do the whole deck with the stripper, as the rest is cleaning up nicely with the cleaner. The railings and the posts ( we have a double decker deck ) are where the most black is ….. on the vertical surfaces.
    I am not sure of the complete difference between the cleaner and stripper, and have only always used the cleaner in the past. so my Q's are:
    1. Should we try the stripper?— or just keep going over and over with the cleaner ?
    2. Does it matter if parts of the deck were done with the cleaner and parts with the stripper?
    3. The brightener will be done one all of the deck regardless….

    PS….the original stain was 3-4 yrs ago and done with TWP1500…… we are using RAD semi-t now.

    thanks a million !!!

    Our ipe deck has both screened and sun exposed sections. Do the screens need to be removed for the stripping/brightening steps? Is wetting the black spindles prior to the application of the stripper/brightener sufficient? The deck is attached to a brick house, do I need to protect the brick? Thank you for your help.

      Remove the screens. Yes prewet spindles and then rinse. No issues with brick.

    Your products say to avoid application in direct sunlight. Because of the position of our house avoiding direct sunlight means applying at night. Is it that important to avoid sunlight or would we be okay to apply during the day? Is there perhaps an upper limit for temperature we need to watch for if we do apply during the day?

    Have 2 fairly well maintained large Ipe decks, one nearly completely covered and the other 60% covered; treated with Penofin for exotic hardwoods about every 3rd year. Uncovered portion obviously needs it more frequently but hard to just do the uncovered portion so it will blend. Have already ordered Stripper, Booster Additive, and Brightener. Looking for product that will do best with mix of covered and uncovered deck (Northwest Montana).

    Considering either Armstrong Clark in Amber or the RAD stain in Light Walnut. The AC product has very good reviews for UV protection but your RAD stain is a bit of an unknown as far as longevity/UV protection. Leaning toward AC for the history/reviews but the RAD product for the Light Walnut color I prefer. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    1. Instructions say to keep stripper wet during the dwell time. Is this w/ additional stripper or with light mist/spray of water?
    2. I mixed up 2.5 gal of stripper with 1/2 bottle of booster and 1/2 bottle of thickener, but so far I have not seen any significant thickening of the solution. Should it be noticeable thicker? If not why not?

      1. Mist with water.
      2. Yes, it thickens and clings to the verticals when you apply. It is not like a paste.

    1. Do I need to pressure wash or spray down the deck before applying RAD stripper, or apply stripper to dry deck?

    Not sure if I have a disaster on my hands. I've used RAD products in the past with nothing but great success. We have a brief window here in the PNW so decided to re-stain the deck this weekend. Had to use local big box stuff instead of RAD product. I stripped with Thompson's Deck stripper and brightened with Defy Brightener. As it's drying I'm seeing really black looking areas and it's starting to worry me. Is this normal? (Pictures are while it's still partially wet). These are after brightener.

        OK. Thanks. If I can't brighten again until later today will it hurting the deck letting it dry in for a while? I'll re-wet before brightening again, but can't do it for a couple of hours.

    I stained my Pine deck with TWP Cedartone two years ago. I am going to do a maintenance coat. I cleaned and brightened it but it looks really splotchy because some areas the stain is completely gone while other areas still have it. If I put two coats down of TWP Cedartone will it end up looking splotchy? I've always used a stripper in the past and this is the first time I'm trying a maintenance coat rather than a complete re-do.

    I have an Ipe deck and used the stripper and brightener about 5 days ago with great results. There's now rain in the forecast over the next week - how long can I go with the deck stripped before staining, and if I go over that time period what should I do before staining?

    I have ordered stripper and the 2 additives. Believe I read elsewhere that a garden sprayer or a brush could be used to apply. Wondering if a 3/8 " to 1" roller could be used? Also do you have to use a pressure washer to remove?

      You apply with a sprayer. You cannot apply with a roller or brush. Pressure wash off to remove.
