    My deck was “professionally” stained this past weekend with a Sherwin Williams semi-solid product. The “pros” did not strip the previous stain so we are left with multiple uneven colors on a subpar job. I’m considering stripping the stain and redoing the entire project. I’m already out $1300 so I’m willing to try anything at this point to make it right. Will this product make any impact on removing new stain?

      It is very hard to strip a newly applied stain, especially when it was not prepped correctly prior. Do you know what brand and base type they used of stain?

        Brandon · 04/26/2022
        I know Sherwin Williams and I believe it’s the Superdeck Exterior Waterborne. I requested the semi-solid but I’m not 100% sure based on the coverage.

          I do not think you will be able to fully strip this based on the pics and info you sent. It is too thick, almost like a solid opaque stain. You can try to see how much you can remove. Best bet is to use the RAD Stripper with both additives: https://www.restore-a-deck.com/rad-stain-stripper-additives.html

          Apply and let dwell for 45-60 minutes and then pressure wash off. RAD Brightener after.

    I cleaned by deck by using a home depot deck cleaner (Olympic) 2 days ago. I was planning to lightly sand some rough areas and stain it but then I came across your website and it seems like I need to use brightner as well. My deck is cleaned pretty decent (I think) with most of previous stain gone (not much was there anyways) and algae stains removed. I have few questions:
    1) Can I use your brightener 6-7 days after cleaning with another product? Its been 2 days and I am assuming 4-5 more days until I get your brightener. I don't wan to repeat the cleaning process if possible since my deck is huge.

    2) If I use brightener, do I still need to do sanding for better absorption?

    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
    • We will reply to your comment shortly

      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.

    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!

    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

      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

              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.

    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.

      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.
