    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.

      Either is fine and would last about the same but as you know, IPE requires an annual application. Clean and recoat.

    Once I apply the stripper (/w booster & thickener) should I see any noticeable activity such as foaming action or fading of stain color? Attached is photo after 20 mins and I see no change in appearance so far. Is this a problem?

      No foaming. The wood does darken some and it will be slippery.

    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?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      RAD Products · 05/15/2020
      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?
    2. I plan to use the RAD Booster & Thickener with the stripper. Once mixed and if I have any left over, does it have any significant shelf life?

      RAD Products · 05/14/2020
      1. Apply to a damp deck is best.
      2. 12 months.

    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.
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      RAD Products · 05/08/2020
      It looks like the brightener was not applied evenly. Try and brighten again as you may have missed spots.

        Terry · 05/08/2020
        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?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly

      Stain within 2 weeks or so is okay. If longer, lightly pressure wash two days prior to stain.

      Strip off what you can and then sand after if needed. You can cover the stain that is not peeling with the RAD Solid stain.

    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?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly

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

    hi - I have a 2 part question. My deck is 10 y/o pressure treated with solid stain on deck and rails. Some of the deck and rails is newer after repairs 2 years ago and the new wood has not been painted or stained. After reading the posts below, in order to remove solid stain it sounds like the RAD stripper+additives won’t remove the stain and it should be sanded then brightened before restraining with solid stain of a similar color, correct? If not what do you recommend?
    Do I need to power wash or brighten the deck before sanding to remove any dirt, algae, or stains?
    thanks in advance.
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      RAD Products · 04/20/2020
      You do not have to remove all the current solid when coating with the RAD Solid stain. Remove what you can and then you can cover the rest. Use the Stripper and pressure wash off as much as possible.

        Thanks! As far as how many gallons I need, the total sq ft of deck, rails, and skirts is approx 615 sq ft with some excess sq ft included. I will def need 2 coats, so I calculate 2.25 gallons per coat for a total of 4.5 gallons. Correct?
        thank you

                For application of the solid stain do you recommend a roller?, if so what type and nap size?
                or use a brush similar to the wood stain process?

    Jason · 04/20/2020
    pressure treated pine deck about 5 years old - has had a total of 3 coats of olympic maximum acrylic oil based stain and sealant applied in that time (2 coats at 1 year, 1 coat in year 2 after a simple cleaning/pressure wash). stain is worn on floor and steps but someone commented that it looks opaque due to multiple coats and it may not be able to be stripped for that reason. gets partial sun/partial shade throughout the day and has some pollen or mildew. would like to stain with a more resilient brand.

    can this be cleaned and brightened OR does it need to be stripped and brightened if i want to apply a new brand of seal (ideally, one of yours) OR do you agree that it can't be stripped and I should clean it then apply an opaque/solid stain to cover?

    thanks in advance for your thoughts.

      A stripper will not remove a solid stain completely so you would have to use the Restore A Deck Solid Stain. The best way to prep is to pressure wash with the Stripper. Neutralize after with the Brightener. This will remove as much as you can of the current stain.

    Not sure what's been applied to this deck in the past. It's looking awful sad after our Canadian winter. Will the RAD stripper work to get this off or will I need to sand it down if I want to use RAD semi-transparent stain? Do I need the booster additive?

      RAD Products · 04/10/2020
      This buildup of coatings is not going to be fully stripped. At this point, it is acting like paint in thickness. You can strip some or most but you will need to sand to get it all off. If you want to strip as much as you can then use both additives with the stripper. Let dwell for an hour and pressure wash off. https://www.restore-a-deck.com/rad-stain-stripper-additives.html

    Hello RAD Team:

    I prepped my PTP with Olympic Premium Deck Cleaner. I applied one coat of Olympic Maximum Cedar Natural Tone Semi-Transparent Exterior Stain and Sealant in One as you can see in the picture. The color is much more orange than we hoped for, which brought me here. I was planning on just sanding the old Olympic stain off the top boards, and starting over with a RAD stain. Is this recommended, or do I need to use my deck cleaner again before sanding and stain application?

    Thank you,
    Jesse

    My porch floor has been coated at least 4 times with sikkens rubbol paint over the past 25 years. Ii is now pealing and I would like to remove it and apply your product. I'm thinking your stripper will not remove the sickens and I will have to sand it off with something like a drum sander. Is this correct and can you make any suggestions?

    I used the RAD Stripper this weekend on my deck and the old stain has been really difficult to remove. I believe the old stain is Benjamin Moore - Arborcoat Semi-Transparent. I applied the RAD Stripper twice. The first time I let it set for 20 minutes and the second time for an hour. I used a power washer in both cases. I was planning on getting another batch of the RAD Stripper and also the booster additive and trying again. This time also using a brush along with the power washer.

    Do you think this will work and should I also get the thickening gel?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      RAD Products · 11/05/2019
      What you have on the wood is a filming forming coating that dried on top like a polyurethane/varnish and why it is shiny. This is extremely hard to strip off as it is not a true penetrating semi-transparent stain but is acting more like a polyurethane. Also is why the BM peeled on you. The Booster and Gel will help some but you may have to sand as well to get it all off.

    Do you sell smaller sizes of your stripper and brightener? I only have 6 deck boards to strip. They are new boards and the person staining my 10 year old deck stained them while I was away instead of letting them age and darken to better match the old boards.
