    I was wondering if we can get our fence any lighter. I applied one coat of stripper and throuhly power washed (over an hour because I may have applied too much stripper). Would another application of stripper lighten it before applying the brightener?

    Hi, I cleaned a 3 month old cedar deck with oxy clean/water/scrub brush & rinsed. Then applied Thompson’s clear water sealer. Wood fuzzies came through & sealer didn't stick everywhere. How do I re-do this/fix it?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      RAD Products · 09/13/2020
      Strip it all off and then brighten the wood. Lightly buff the fuzzies, then use our semi-transparent stain.

    How long do I wait in between brightening and staining? The standard 3 days of drying before staining?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      RAD Products · 09/07/2020
      Depends on the stain brand you are using? If RAD Stains, you can apply the same day to damp wood or next day to dry.

    I have vertical metal rungs in my wood railing. Will the stripper or brightener mar the paint/surface of these or can i leave them exposed?

      Not sure. Best to do a test spot first to see if there is any reaction or not.

    I plan to strip and sand. If I’m following the conversations here, you recommend, stripping, them sand, then brighten? Is this correct?

    I prepped my mahogany deck with RAD stripper plus additive, and then applied & rinsed brightener as instructed. While rinsing the deck for nearly an hour, I had to roll my gas grille from one side of deck to another, as I was unable to remove it from the deck. Now that the deck has dried, there are roll marks across the newly brightened deck. Can they be safely removed by sanding before I begin staining? Will I have to re apply brightener to the sanded areas? Also, on one section of mahogany seating (same as decking) I powerwashed a bit too close and roughed up the wood a bit. Can I smooth it by sanding, and will the seat have to also be re-brightened prior to staining? Thanx!

      RAD Products · 07/27/2020
      No, you cannot spot sand the wheel dents. It will only make it worse as the sanded areas will stand out and be lighter in color when you stain. Same with the areas of the Mahogany seating.

        Glenn A. · 07/27/2020
        OK, then if I sand several missed spots on the deck, can I then re-brighten the entire deck and achieve more uniform results?
        • We will reply to your comment shortly
          RAD Products · 07/27/2020
          No, you would have to sand all evenly and then brighten to have a uniform appearance.

    We have boards with solid stain and some new boards we replaced last fall. What do we need to do before we stain again? Do we need to use stripper on the boards with stain and cleaner on the new boards? If we use stripper, should we use the additives to get as much off as possible? Thanks for your help.

      RAD Products · 07/08/2020
      You cannot remove the solid stain fully so you will need to use the RAD Solid Stain after the prep: https://www.restore-a-deck.com/restore-a-deck-wood-stain/restore-a-deck-solid-stain.html

      Strip and brighten all for prep to remove the loose again and it will also prep the new wood. Apply 2 coats of solid stain after.

        Thank you! A few follow-up questions:

        Do I need to add the additives to the stripper?
        How do I clean the Chaplin sprayer between using the stripper and brightener?

        Summary to make sure I have the steps right:
        1. Apply stripper using pump sprayer, rinse off with power washer
        2. Apply brightener using pump sprayer, rinse off with hose or power washer
        3. Apply Stain - I read on the website to do 1 coat on vertical surfaces and 2 coats on horizontal surfaces (waiting 20-60 min between coats) — is this correct? Or do I need 2 coats on all surfaces since I am changing stain color? (We are covering current color with brown oak)
        • We will reply to your comment shortly
          RAD Products · 07/09/2020
          No need for additives. Clean sprayer with water. Pressure wash off stripper, not rinse. Solid stain needs two coats everywhere and is not applied wet on wet. Second coat goes on after the first coat is fully dry.

    Hello, I have an Ipe deck that was constructed in the fall of 2018. I let the deck weather over the winter and in the summer of 2019 I used the RAD cleaner and brightener at full strength (1 cup/gal) with a stiff brush. I thought I rinsed the deck thoroughly in between steps but ended up with a blotchy looking surface and noticed that the wood was somewhat frayed. I believe the cleaner strength may have been too high for a new deck, the brush was too stiff (it tended to scratch the surface), and did not rinse thoroughly in between steps. I applied Ipe Oil after the deck dried and the blotchy look (patches of white) still remained. I am now preparing to refinish the deck again this summer. The blotchy look has somewhat faded due to weathering from snow/rain (I live in northern Illinois). What did I do wrong last year? What do you recommend I do this year? Do I use the RAD stripper and brightener or just the cleaner and brightener? Should I use at full strength or slightly less than full strength? I plan to use a less stiff brush and use a flow-through brush connected to a hose to ensure all the products are removed. I plan to use Ipe Oil to finish the deck. Thanks!

    Hello! Do we need to use the stripper, cleaner, and brightener on a deck with solid stain? Or do we sand completely and just clean and brighten? We had to replace boards due to dry rot so have a mix or new and old boards... added pictures of previous owners stain choice and the deck. We are planning on purchasing the solid stain... not sure what color yet. Thanks!

    i mixed 3/4 of a cup of brightener and 1 gallon of water in a 5 gal bucket and applied to railings waited 10 min and rinsed. I barely saw any soap suds like literally close to nothing. Is this normal for a brightener to not have any soap suds?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      RAD Products · 06/15/2020
      A brightener is not a cleaner and will not have any suds. It is to be used as a neutralizer after using a Cleaner or Stripper.

        ok it says on the bag to rinse all wood for 20-30 min making sure all soap suds are removed, that’s confusing. Also if i’m doing section by section how long should i rinse each section for?
        • We will reply to your comment shortly
          RAD Products · 06/15/2020
          10-20 minutes per section and while it does not have heavy soap suds, you will see some white soap that needs to be rinsed off well.

          Apply all at once. Does not matter if the wood is wet or dry. 10-15 minutes and then rinse.

            i’m asking if it matters that the brightener will dry into the wood. If i do it all at once it will take like 4-5 hours to rinse it

              RAD Products · 06/15/2020
              It takes about 10-20 minutes to apply the brightener to a 400 sq foot deck. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes, mist with water if needed to keep wet and then rinse for 20 minutes all wood. It should not take more than 40-60 minutes in total.

    Will your stripper take this off? I'm pretty sure its Valspar porch and patio paint, latex. There was a half gallon of that color here when we moved . The deck has been power washed and scraped but it appears that some of it is loose and I can't get all of it off. I saw that this isn't reccomend to remove paint. I want to recover with RAD solid gray.

      No, you will have to sand this off and then you can use the RAD Solid Gray.

    We used the stripper with booster and then brightened last night. This morning the deck is very “fuzzy”. Should we let it dry and try to brush it off or do you think we will need to sand and then brighten again before staining?

    Hi I have a few questions. 1. I don’t know what stain was previously used on this deck, by the looks of the picture do you think the stripper with an additive as well as sanding will remove whatever it is? 2. How soon after stripping and sanding do I have to use brightener? Can i wait a day in between?

    Hello, I have a 10Y old screened-in deck. I replaced some vertical framing like pillars, pickets, and railing and indicate in the photos attached. I am planing to solid stain the vertical framing and stain the floor with a different semi-transparent color more to brown tones. The existing stain is 717 Redwook, oil based. Could you suggest the products for this project? In case vertical framing could be stripped, we may use same semi-transparent stain there. I also have screen underneath of the deck floor, will any of the product chemicals damage that? Thanks ?

      Not sure if the flooring can be stripped or not? What brand and type of stain? You may need to do a solid to the floors as well if it cannot be stripped. The screens will need to come off when doing the prep and stain work.

        Leo · 05/10/2020
        Thanks for your reply. I am not sure if everything could be stripped without damaging the fiberglass screen underneath of the floor which is the only one that is not removable. So, will any of the product chemical damage the screen? I think that’s the key point for the project to chose the product (stripper, cleaner, brighter) accordingly. In case all product may damage the screen I guess the only solution will be sanding the deck. Thanks

          RAD Products · 05/10/2020
          It should not damage the screen but you will have lots of old stain and gunk that will wash between boards and clog up the screen below. That could cause damage.
