Restore-A-Deck Stripper/Brightener Kit

Quoting pavan:

Hi,
Description of the product says "Stripper and Brightener". Do I have to buy a cleaner separately? or stripper is a cleaner too?? Please help.

If you are using the stain stripper, you do not need the cleaner.

Quoting mikev200:

I have silkens "deck", will this strip it? This is NOT the srt semi, but the type finish that is a semi trans coating. almost seems like a poly tip coat.

It will remove the penetrating Sikkens SRD. It will not remove the filming varnish type coating in most cases.

Quoting Regina:

I had a deck built last year and it was "kinda" stained (someone didn't complete the job) with behr natural cedar tone stain. Should I strip this off and start over?

Yes, you should remove and start over.

Quoting Ed K:

Some parts of my deck were repaired last year and I waited until now to treat it and clean the entire deck and re-stain. Is it an issue of the Stripper gets on the newer wood?

No issues. Make sure to use the Brightener after.

Quoting Keith Herbon:

I just finished building a new 200 soft redwood deck. It's adjacent to an old 100 sqft redwood deck with hot tub. I want to strip the stain from old deck then stain bothe decks. Can I use the stripper to prep the new deck or do I need to buy the cleaner as well?

Thanks

You should not use stripper on a new deck.

Quoting Bret:

I have a redwood deck thats never been stained but has been coated twice over the last ten years with linseed oil. Would you prefer the cleaner or the stripper in this case?

Use the stripper for best results.

Quoting Jane:

Will this product ( the stripper) harm vinyl?

No, but it will probably clean it and or remove oxidation dust.

Quoting Carolyn Hunt:

I have a few strips of old stain on my deck. Will cleaner take this off or should I use a stripper? If yes, which do I use first, a cleaner or a stripper?

Use the Stripper. No need for the cleaner. Brighten all after.

Quoting Steve Lethert:

I have to remove a semi-solid stain that is partially worn off. Will this stripper work?

Depends on the brand of stain an how may coats were applied as to how successful it will be. The RAD stripper will not remove a solid stain but will remove semi-transapare nts stains. Semi-solids are in-between. The RAD stripper will definitely remove some, but you may have to sand to get the rest off.
