    Power sanded (12x18 vibrating) older PTP deck with SW acrylic semi-trans stain. Most came up with 36 followed with 60 grit paper but there are still spots that didn't. I'm afraid of these becoming ugly shiny blotches when following with RAD stain, so will the RAD stripper remove these spots without blotching surrounding wood that is "clean"? Spot sanding is another option but as I still need to strip verticals I thought I spot treating with the stripper may work without taking more material off as long as it won't create problems with the surrounding "clean" wood. Will brighten everything with RAD brightener once verticals are stripped.

      Might be best to just sand them off so it is evenly sanded when done.

        I would agree...but my 60 year old back & knees might take a little more convincing! 600sf PTP deck is 20 years old, so this is probably the last restoration before I replace. Can you tell me if stripper will affect surrounding “clean” wood in a negative way? I’m not so worried about getting everything even as old PTP is far from even at this point. Photo attached.

    Hello. about 3 summers ago, I stained our deck with semi-transparent Thompson's water proofing stain. It didn't take long for it to start looking bad (not sure if it was a bad application or bad product). I've used another deck stripper and sanding with decent results. Would your deck stripper have better results? Especially between the slats where sanding doesn't work well? Thank You!

      Hard to say. Looks very "thick" on the spots. Almost as if the stain is a solid color and the RAD will not remove a solid color stain.

        JOSHUA METZGER · 05/12/2018
        I think it's just cause I went over it too heavy originally. Hoping your product will help, even if it takes a few cycles. Can I stain over any stubborn spots with your dark stain after I brighten?

          RAD Products · 05/12/2018
          You cannot apply the RAD stain over the Thompsons. Try to remove 95% or more.

    GM, last year we stained our deck with Sherwin Williams water born Semi Transparent water base stain (cedar). Over the winter in the high traffic areas the stain lifted down to bare wood. My husband power washed the entire deck which easly lifted additional stain. Not happy with that he belt sanded down to the attached which is smooth and shows where stain penetrated and still remains. We are not happy with this product as that was the second time in 4 years we have had to redo. Would like to use your highly rated products. Can we stain over this, need to strip, etc. Please let me know what steps we need to take next. Thank you Colleen Freel

      RAD Products · 05/04/2018
      You cannot stain over this. Try stripping to remove as much as you can and then sand again to remove the rest. Sand with 60-80 grit, no finer. Shoot for 95% or more removal. Brighten all wood when done.

      Send some pictures when done to make sure the prep is good to go.

    My desk has Behr semi-transparent stain that has not held up well. I'd like to strip it, but my desk is located on my roof. My roof is a flat torch-down rubber roof, would the stripper degrade or harm the roof in any way? Thank you.

      It should not harm the roof. Behr is a difficult stain to strip. You may need to strip more than once to get it all off.

    Joe. Trust me. Get 2sprayers. After you strip and spray there will be areas you want to retreat . If you dump your stuff you will have to remix. If Its a warm day you have to move very fast to keep everything moist... I used the product for the first time. The first treatment was weak, so I did a second treatment and the wood was like new!! Good luck

    I just ordered this product and plant to use next week. I likely will not need to mix all of it and will mix according to the package directions for what I think I will need. My question is, what is the recommended way to dispose of extra stripper and brightener that has been mixed? Also how do you recommend cleaning a standard pump sprayer? Since the applications of stripper and brightener happen one right after the other I would think you would need to clean the pump sprayer pretty quickly in-between after using it for the stripper to use the sprayer for the brightener.
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      RAD Products · 04/24/2018
      Clean sprayer with water. Very easy. Best to use all product that is mixed on the deck while using. If leftover, the brightener will neutralize the stripper so can be disposed of without issues.

    My deck abuts vinyl siding and has vinyl posts. Will the stripper harm the vinyl? Do I need to tape the edge or several inches up. Im planning on applying with a garden sprayer. Also I assume the stripper will remove a coat of TWP.
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      RAD Products · 04/16/2018
      It should not harm vinyl and it will remove TWP stains. Brighten after to neutralize.

        I’m assuming that yearly reapplications of RAD water based stain will be easier than TWP. Am I correct?

          Semi-transparent? It should work well on that. If the oil-based version, it will be fairly easy. If the water-based version, you may need to do the process 1-2 times. Make sure you also use a pressure washer.

      RAD Products · 03/12/2018
      No. you cannot use a scrub brush for applying deck stain nor would a deck staining brush work for the prep products.

      The prep products are applied best with a pump sprayer and then heavily scrubbed or pressure washed off. Best to pressure wash, especially if stripping.

      The Deck Stain is best applied with a stain pad or stain brush.

      Sikkens has many different types of decking stain and knowing the color, will not determine if it is solid or semi-transparent. It should say on the can the type of stain that it is.

    I've got a Teak wood swim platform on my boat. There is no stain or polyurethane on it, just plain wood that was probably treated with teak oil in the past. Would this be a good project for restore-a-deck? I've used EFC-38 and citralic in the past and I believe this is similar. Thanks

    We have pressure washed the deck and still have a lot of stain remaining on the sides and railing. But, most is off the flat deck area. I'm thinking we need stripper to get remaining off and cleaner for the area that we tried to clean. Then use brightener! Your thoughts?
