    Based on picture, should I strip, brighten and stain?  Or can I just do either strip or brighten and stain?  I had someone stain it last year but didn't do a great job and they tried to power wash it and didn't help.  It's mahogany.  Thank you

    Hello!
    First timer here.
    I bought this kit. Spent today cleaning the shrubbery around the deck as well as getting used to doing the pressure washing.
    I see some scratches I think from people moving furniture. 
    Will the stripper/brightener be enough or should I get a sander to try to hand sand away the scratches a bit?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      RAD Products · 09/15/2021
      You cannot remove scratches with the prep if they are deep. Do not spot sand as then the stain will not apply evenly. Best to just leave as is.

    Several years ago I used Dalys Seafin Ship'n Shore Penetrating Waterproofing Sealer on otherwise untreated railings. It's a petroleum based product, which they say is compatible with urethane varnishes. I want to use your products. Should I strip the railings first, or is cleaning and brightening enough? Thanks

      You will have to remove the Dalys and it may not be strippable if similar to a urethane. Post some pictures.

      No need to strip but you should clean and brighten after sanding to open up the wood grain.

    I have a porch that was stained with Cabots Australian Timber Oil which has faded on the east side in the Florida sun. Do I needed to strip and brighten or clean and brighten prior to reapplying timber oil?

    Hello! I want to restore my 22 year old deck. The deck was stained with Sherwin Williams DeckScapes semi-transparent stain. I will replace my deck boards, but the vertical surfaces are ok. I want to stain them with a solid stain. What is the process of preparation? And what products will I need? I have a pressure washer (2000 PSI) and I have a pump sprayer HDX that I use to spray for ants around the house. Thanks.

    Used stripper with thickening agent, then brightened. Streaks have appeared on some sections of untreated pine, not the treated wood sections. Pics attached. Any suggestions to remove these? Sanding does not do the trick, I’ve tried. These pics have been sanded. I have many untreated pine boards to go but a little hesitant until I get your ideas. Thanks.

      RAD Products · 07/24/2021
      When stripping you will need to rinse through the spindles so best to take the screens off. If that is not feasible, then you will need to continue to sand all until there is no more stain left.

    We had a contractor apply Cabot Gold stain to a year old non prepped floor. They put way too much on and it was really tacky.  We have tried mineral spirits and when that didn’t work we belt sanded everything.  First pic is before and 2nd and 3rd is after sanding.  Do I need to just strip and brighten to put new stain on? Do i really need additives?  Also, do I need to protect the metal screened in porch next to the wood floor? Thanks for any information!

      Strip and then brighten to get it all off using the additives as well.

    Two summers ago (7/2019) I RAD cleaned and brightened my grayed Ipe deck.  Used Armstrong-Clark Mahogany oil based stain.  It has how faded and I want to re-stain.  Do I strip-then-brighten or clean-then-brighten?

    Hello, I have a 5 year old deck that measures 38 x 15 and was stained/waterproofed (Olympic semi transparent Cedar Naturaltone) too early so it looks terrible.  Recently I replaced several boards due to cupping/curling.  The deck needs to be either sanded or stripped and brightened, then treated later. What are your recommendations??  Also, if stripping, will one stripper - brightener kit do the job for it and the railings.  Thanks in advance

    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      RAD Products · 06/15/2021
      That is a solid color deck stain and a stripper cannot remove this effectively. You will have to sand it all off if you want to remove fully. The other option is to strip off what you can, brighten, then use the RAD in a solid stain color over it: https://www.restore-a-deck.com/restore-a-deck-wood-stain/restore-a-deck-solid-stain.html

              RAD Products · 06/15/2021
              The only way for you to use a semi-transparent color is to power sand off your current solid stain fully.

    My deck was last stained maybe 3-4 years ago with a Sherwin Williams SuperDeck solid stain.  
    I understand I need to use a stripper and then brightener, and then a solid stain.
    Do I need any additives to the stripper?
    Do I need to sand off any solid stain that does not come off with the stripper?
    Can I stain with a solid stain that is a lighter and different color or does it need to be darker than the current color, especially if it doesn’t all come off with the stripper?
    Thanks.

          Best to use the RAD stripper with both additives: https://www.restore-a-deck.com/rad-stain-stripper-additives.html
          Brightener after. It is not an easy strip due to the excessive coatings so you may need to strip a couple of times to get it all off.

    I have about 1800 sq ft of deck/handrails. Previous owner used decks capes solid stain on 2x6 boards. I’m not sure what is on the handrails? I would like to stain the decking with a semi-transparent oil penetrating stain. I realizes I have to sand it all. How should I prep deck boards vs handrail?

    This product sounds great. I have a couple of questions. - do I need to strip my deck first? I have used Storm #2 for the last couple of applications. Or can I just clean and brighten? - if I have to strip, do I need to cover everything- the railings, house and trees?  I am worried about all of the mess. I have plants all around the base of the porch.

      RAD Products · 05/25/2021
      You cannot apply over this and from the look in the picture, you have a film forming stain on there like a varnish that looks shiny. These coatings types cannot be stripped fully so you may need to sand after stripping to get it all off. Brightener is last. Use both additives with the stripper.

    This is an old deck that had stain powerwashed off of it years ago. It's been cleaned with a generic cleaner and substantially sanded 80 grit. I will be using semi transparent.

    1. Is there any way I could do cleaner instead of stripper or is that just asking for trouble?

    2. If there has been a lot of sanding, should I only do one coat of semi?

    3. If I do one coat of semi and do the second maintenance coat in next fall, does it need to be cleaned with your product and brightened before that second coat?

    Thanks so much! I've been to scared to do this project for years but all your answers are helping me feel confident I can do it.

      1. Looks like you still have some old stain so you should strip and brighten for prep.
      2. Yes.
      3. Yes, you have to prep when recoating.

    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?

    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.

        OK, then if I sand several missed spots on the deck, can I then re-brighten the entire deck and achieve more uniform results?

          No, you would have to sand all evenly and then brighten to have a uniform appearance.
