    Can I apply solid stain to cedar?
  • We will reply to your comment shortly
    Wilhelm Cody · 07/14/2020
    Our house in the area East of San Francisco bay has cedar shingles applied about 25 years ago. They were stained with Super Deck oil based transparent/semi transparent mix of a white with some cedar. No other staining or treatment since then, other than weather. Some areas have no stain left, from sun and rain, while others in partially protected areas have much color (an off white/light beige) that still adheres to the wood. Using your cleaner and rinsing without brushing the shingles removes most but not all of the color. Protected areas are especially resistant.

    We want to get something uniform again. The formulation of Super Deck is long gone. No good semi-transparent stains seem to have white and grey is just too dark for the house. To get a more uniform coating, our painter suggested a semi solid that will show the texture of the shingles. You have only a solid stain but it may be worth thinking about it as an option.

    I have several questions about your solid stain.
    -Will your solid stain smooth over the texture much more than a semi-solid from other brands?
    -Will blending some white with some other color of your stain of be acceptable to get a mid tone of some sort or will that reduce the performance?
    -Is the cleaning/brightening process necessary or would cleaning alone followed by washing (perhaps a low pressure washing under 750 PSI) be acceptable for a solid stain?
    -Most important will this peel after a few years?

    thank you for any information you can provide.

      -Yes, the solid stain is filming so it will have a smoother appearance than a penetrating stain.
      -You can mix colors of the RAD Solid Stains.
      -Pressure washing to remove dirt, grime, mold, etc is what is needed to prep for the solid stain. Using the RAD Prep products aids with the pressure washing for better performance.
      -Solid stains since they dry on top of the wood can eventually have some lifting. This would depend o your weather and or wood surface. Rarely happens on vertical wood but it could. Should last on vertical wood 3-7 years before a reapplication is needed.

    I see different coverage rates for stains in different places. The calculator shows a different rate than a brochure etc..... How much solid stain should buy for 2 coats of 380 sq ft? 3 or 4?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      RAD Products · 07/12/2020
      3-4 gallons is correct. Hard to say exactly as the coverage will vary based on wood porosity and how you apply it.

    Last summer we used the cleaner + brightened + solid stain on our 400 SF deck. We live next to a river so your product seemed perfect for our location. This month, about a year later, I notice there are some mildew or mold patches that have started grow over the stain. What do you recommend we do to remove these? Any way to prevent them from coming back?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      RAD Products · 07/11/2020
      That is mold and algae growing on top of a stain. A stain cannot prevent this but there are mild cleaners on the market that will not harm the stain. One is called "wet and forget".

    Can I use a pump sprayer with Solid Stain for underside of an elevated deck (deck boards and joists)?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      RAD Products · 07/10/2020
      No. If spraying, you would need an airless sprayer.

    Christine · 07/06/2020
    I have an almost 20 year old deck that was stained about 3 years ago with a semi transparent stain. I used the stripper, then sanded some of what was left, then applied the brightener, then applied a coat of the semi transparent RAD in dark walnut. The rails look pretty good but the floor was probably just too chewed up to go with a semi-transparent plus I had some clouding probably from hot sun drying issues (in spite of spraying the deck down about 10 minutes before application and it being 10:30 in the morning!) Anyway, I'm considering just leaving the rails as they are but applying a solid stain to the floor. Can I apply the RAD solid over the RAD semi-transparent? What prep would I need to do before applying?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      RAD Products · 07/06/2020
      You can, just give it a good pressure wash first. Only apply to a dry deck this way.

    Randy · 07/06/2020
    So we have a boat dock where the deck is about 5 years old and has been treated with a semi transparent oil based stain.
    Can your product be used on top of this existing stain?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      RAD Products · 07/06/2020
      No, you always have to remove the previous coatings when switching brands of stain. Post some pictures for help with this.

    Joey · 07/03/2020
    Thanks for the quick response! I have pressure treated wood (approx 15 years old) and most of it is bare, but the railings still have a lot of the previous stain (i.e. they haven't peeled at all). I was planning on running a sander over the entire surface just to get off any debris and then wipe off with a mop/damp cloth. Will this be sufficient if I want to apply a solid stain or should I be doing something else? Also, how long does it take to ship to Manitoba, Canada?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      RAD Products · 07/03/2020
      Pressure ash first and then sand is the best away. Shipping is about 1-2 weeks during this time.

    Wood deck, about a decade old, previous owners used a solid stain of unknown type/mfgr. We've obtained solid stain RAD samples and applied to test areas. Appears we will need 2 coats after stripping/cleaning/power washing. Previous Q&A's have left a confusing message. Can RAD solid stain be applied in two coats? One answer says the first coat will prevent any other applications. If a 2nd coat is possible, how much wait between coats?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      RAD Products · 06/27/2020
      You need two coats for the RAD solid stain and the first coat must dry before applying the second coat with the Solid Stain.

    Terry · 06/23/2020
    We have approximately 322 sq. ft. to cover. using the two coat method with your solid stain, how many gallons would you recommend for the job---don't want to run out before completion? Also what is your shipment times to get to Southeast Mi. ?
  • We will reply to your comment shortly
    Terry · 06/23/2020
    We live in Southeast MI. We get rain, snow, and ice. How well does your solid stain hold up to these conditions? I am mostly concerned with chipping. How much better is it compared to the Behr brand solid stain when talking durability/chipping?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      RAD Products · 06/23/2020
      The RAD solid stain when prepped correctly will work very well for MI. As for the Behr, they have numerous reports and reviews of failures. Almost any stain is better.

      Tannin bleed from the wood due to moisture. Best to apply another coat later in the Summer when things dry out.

    Hi,


    I finished staining our deck Friday, and am prepping to stain the posts today. Just wanted to confirm tha the RAD cleaner and brightener is safe if it comes in contact with a freshly stained deck boards (60 hrs).

    Thanks.

    Kimberly · 06/04/2020
    Hello, I have a two level deck and believe it’s about 800sq ft all together. So I’m guessing about 9 gallons. I also want to do the railings, anyway to figure out how much I need for that part? Thinking of doing the floor in cypress and the railings in white to give it an updated look. It’s about 15+ years old and we have been replacing a lot of boards the past year and still more to replace before we do the stain.

    Karen · 06/04/2020
    Hi! We are preparing to stain our decks and a porch. One deck was stained maybe 15 years ago with Olympic semi-transparent stain. We pressure washed the deck last month and there’s still some stain on it. We will be staining everything with RAD Solid stain in brown oak for the floors. The porch was stained around the same time with Valspar semi-transparent stain (a dark custom color). We have done no prep work to the porch yet. I’ll be getting the cleaner and brightener for the prep work. My question: do I need to strip the old stain as the first step, or just remove any loose old stain by pressure washing? The deck doesn’t seem to be peeling, but the porch is a bit flaky in places. If I do have to strip one or both, do I follow with just the brightener after? Any other advice you have would be welcome! Thanks in advance.

      Just remove the loose stain and clean/brighten up the deck and you will be okay to use the RAD Solid Stains.

    Wade · 06/01/2020
    My deck has some sort of peeling solid stain on it (photo included). If I understand correctly, the best process to restain is:

    1) Use a stripper and remove with a pressure washer.
    2) Let dry and sand the remaining loose, peeling areas of old stain.
    3) Apply the brightener.
    4) Apply solid stain.

    I plan to apply the stain with a brush. How should the stripper and brightener be applied? Thanks!

      Steps are correct. Apply with brush and roller for stain. Pump sprayer for prep products.

        sorry but your information is not consistent at all. I sent in the same photos of my deck, solid, peeling and you said to just strip and apply solid, no brightener. And then in another you said stripper will not work on solids. Please clarify.
        • We will reply to your comment shortly
          RAD Products · 06/03/2020
          Yes, the info is consistent. When reapplying a solid stain you strip off as much as you can prior to reapplying a new solid stain (covering the intact stain that does not strip) but no, it will not fully remove all of the current solid stain down to the bare wood so you can switch to a semi-transparent stain.
