    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.

      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?
                thanks.

    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.

    Hi - we bought a house with a solid stain deck that was in bad shape. We recently took out the stairs and scraped some of the stain, now want to strip just the deck (not the railing) and recoat. What would you reccomend? It's about 300 sq ft of pressure treated pine.

      It is not possible to strip off a solid stain. You would have to sand it to get it off.

    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?

      Use the RAD Stripper with both additives. Brightener after.

    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      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?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      RAD Products · 04/04/2020
      Yes, this will need heavy power sanding to remove fully.

    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.

        Scott · 11/05/2019
        Thank you for the response. What order would you recommend I do each step in? Should I user the stripper + additives, let dry, sand and then neutralize? Or should I neutralize before sanding? Also, would I need to use a cleaner again after sanding?
        • We will reply to your comment shortly
          RAD Products · 11/05/2019
          Neutralize after sanding. You do not have to clean again.

    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.

    Previously had Behr "Semi-transparent" in Chocolate (which seems a lot more opaque than most other semi-transparent stains?). The Behr was wearing and peeling.


    I've done 3 full rounds of stripping and power washing with RAD stripper + both boosters, followed by brightening. This got "most"--but not all-- of the Behr stain off. I just can't bare to do any more prep at this point (sanding this is out), but would prefer to avoid a completely-solid stain covering if there's something that will work.

    What's going to get the best results (with easy reapplication of future coats), despite the little bit of lingering old stain remaining? I had hoped the RAD stripper would prep this well enough to be able to use TWP, but it seems like the semi-transparent oil-based might not provide good "coverage" of the lingering Behr?

    What do you recommend that I should stain with at this point? (North Carolina, full sun, pine)
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      RAD Products · 07/08/2019
      At this point, you could try the TWP 103 Dark Oak. It will blend much of the old Behr but it will show through slightly and will be a little shiny in the areas it goes over this Behr. The other option is to sand.
      • We will reply to your comment shortly
        Nick · 07/08/2019
        Oh interesting, I figured the TWP was fairly see-through and would be totally out of the question, especially given that the Behr seems 'more opaque' than the TWP, and that the oil based are more of a "soak in" rather than sit-on-top stain.

        Thoughts on TWP 100 vs Armstrong Clark oil based semi-solid for this?

    our deck was new July 2018. We used Olympic sealant from Lowes at that time. This spring we stripped and power washed and brightened twice to remove all the sealant. On Tuesday, we stained and now we do not like the color so want to restain. BUT the wood looks like it's furring! Should we lightly sand or can we not, with it being new wood? Thank you for replying.

      If you want to change the color you will need to strip it again. You could lightly sand after with 60 grit to remove any furring.

    Late last year I used Ready Seal (cedar color) to stain our screened-in porch. Porch was built over 35 years ago with cedar with redwood support columns and beams. Do I use your stripper or cleaner product before brightening and staining?

    Secondly, should I use a brush to apply the stripper or cleaner as recommended above so product does not affect outside painted surfaces?
