    Can RAD work to stain/seal pressure treated wood fence? It’s never been stained before, what type is recommended, semi-transparent?
    Do we need to stain both sides of the fence? Any other prep work, it’s been pressure washed already, 2 days ago so it’s dry, should we wet it before applying? 
    lastly is it better to roll on or spray on for a fence and a deck job? Not sure fence and deck get treated the same. Thank you!!

      RAD Products · 05/13/2022
      Yes, RAD stains work great on fences. Most use the semi-transparent but you can also use the solid stain.  We would have to see pics for prep advice. How to apply depends on which stain you are using. Directions are on the website and are the same as applying to a deck.

    Hello…in Canada.We have an 11 yr old cedar deck and have used Cabot’s Australian timber oil to finish it - last time 2 years ago when we completely sanded and refinished. Really needs some TLC but are getting past the point (seniors) to do this every other year. Will your solid stain work and your products/process allow to refinish without sanding? Approx 400 sq ft

    Steve · 05/11/2022
    Need a little advice. We have an old deck that had never been stained. 2 years ago, we started to stain, but then along came a daughter. I used semi transparent DEFY after cleaning the deck on the one rail pictured. With the old weathered deck, I'm wondering if maybe going to a solid stain is a better option. What are your thoughts? What would the proper prep process be for both the stained and unstained portions? The DEFY seems to be pretty well soaked into the section we started. Thank you in advance!

      We would suggest the RAD Stripper for the stained area and the RAD Cleaner for the rest. RAD Brightener last. Once prepped, use the RAD Semi-Transparent Stain: https://www.restore-a-deck.com/restore-a-deck-wood-stain/restore-a-deck-wood-stain-5-gallon/flypage.tpl.html

        Thank you for the quick reply! So you would suggest sticking with semi transparent...I figured I'd need to move on to solid with the age/weathering.

        I also forgot to ask, there a couple holes I'd like to fill before doing everything. Can I use a wood filler prior to doing this? At what step should that be done, before stripping/cleaning?

        Lastly, do you have any retailers in the Livingston County area?
        • We will reply to your comment shortly
          RAD Products · 05/11/2022
          A semi-transparent will work just fine after the prep. Wood fillers will not work on exterior decking and will not stain to blend. Don't bother.

          We sell online only or you can pick it up at our location in Bloomfield Hills.

    I cant decide between solid stain vs semi transparent.  Current deck has Cabot semi solid but it is faded quite a bit. I plan on using your cleaner, stripper, brightener with additives to remove the current product.  Any reason i should go for solid stain vs semi transparent? Thanks
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      RAD Products · 05/10/2022
      The only reason is for some reason you cannot remove the Cabot fully with the stripping. BTW, you do not need the Cleaner if you are using the Stripper.

    Hello, I have a 8’ x 26.5’ porch and a 9.5’ x 24.5’ deck that I’d like to stain with the solid stain. I also have handrails and balusters on the porch and deck, 15 stairs (41” x 11.5” each), and the siding of the house inside the porch (8’ tall and 26.5’ wide) that need to be stained. How many gallons of solid stain would you recommend, and how many packages of stripper and brightener?  Thanks!

      Hi,

      What is the total sq footage added up for all wood, steps, and rails?
      • We will reply to your comment shortly
        Joe · 05/09/2022
        Thanks for the quick reply. My best guess is 550 total sq footage for the wood and steps (not including the rail and balusters).

        The rail and balusters run about 100 feet in total length (includes the rails across the edge of the deck and porch and down the stairs). I'm not sure how to determine their total sq footage. Any chance you can give a best estimate, based on the above? 
        • We will reply to your comment shortly
          RAD Products · 05/09/2022
          Typically with railings, it is length x height. 100 x 3 + 300, so about 850 total it sounds like.

          -One stripper and brightener kit should be enough.
          -7-8 gallons of Solid Stain for 2 coats.

    I just power washed off all/most the previous solid stain (Olympic). It was massively peeling from less than a year ago, from the previous owner of our home.  I have scrubbed off all the loose paint.  I see the prep steps that are recommended above.  But can you help me with tips on next steps based on where I am at with my deck?  It is currently gray in color, which I like, so I was going to choose the Gray Solid stain and do two coats on top.

    I am trying to decide between solid and semi transparent. The deck had a solid which I completely sanded off.  Will semi transparent work now or do I need to stay with solid.  Also how hard is reapplying solid in future years as it gets worn down.  I live in Washington and we get a lot of rain and the deck is wet and very dirty every spring.

    Lee · 04/21/2022
    Found your stains after some good reviews online.  I have a deck that had a section of boards replaced ( about 20 boards, which makes up about 25% of the deck ).  It was just pressure treated lumber and it had plenty of time in the sun to dry once installed.  I have since stained the deck twice inthe last couple years, using a medium to light gray arbor coat solid stain.  I used arbor coat bc it was supposed to be the best stuff out there, but apparently that was years ago, with an old formula that they no longer use.  The stuff is peeling and chipping only on the newer deck boards and frankly looks like shit after about a year. The other 75% of the deck holds up fine with no peeling or chipping.  I plan on power washing the deck and then sanding away the areas of the new boards where the chip and peeling is happening as best i can.  Will you stains hold up better and actually stick to those newer wood boards that I put down?

    It's been 2 years since I first applied RAD solid stain. I think it's time for another coat. 

    1) do I need to clean and brighten before applying RAD solid stain? 

    2) should I apply 1 or 2 coats?

    3) if 2 coats, how long do I wait between coats? 
    thanks

    I have a pressure treated deck. I have used RAD stripper, cleaner and brightener on it over the years and my fence...great stuff. I am going to replace all the deck boards but the foundation post etc are fine. They have Armstrong Clark semi-trans stain but I want to switch it all over to your Solid Stain.
    I. Assume I must strip and brighten the existing ? 2. Can I do the foundation post etc. now and the new deck boards in 4-6 months same color without problems?

    I have pressure treated wood steps that are 14-months old and never stained, plus regular redwood railings. 1. What kind of prep should I do before adding RAD semi-transparent stain? 2. I'm only going to buy one color: the wood steps are very dark but the redwood railing is much lighter - do I need to pick the darkest stain because of the steps, or can I use a lighter one that will better match the redwood railing?

    I have a 20 year old deck surface, but has to install new railings with treated wood. I plan to use Brown Oak RAD solid stain. 
    I sanded/Diamabrushed the old wood to get off old solid stain, but just learned you should wait before staining new wood. I’m concerned the unstained old wood will get further worn while I wait. 
    Should I stain sooner rather than later? Use cleaner AND brightener, or just cleaner?

    In 2019, I bot & applied RAD semi transparent ("ST") Light Walnut. Looked great for about a year. Now is mostly faded and gone. As a test, without cleaning, I over-coated with some left over Light Walnut ST - one coat only. Looks ok. 2 or 3 coats would be better. (see pic) But wood has dried so there are cracks and some splinters. So, some questions1) Is the solid stain thick enough to fill the small cracks and seal splinters. 
    2) Is the solid stain more like a paint that covers the wood?3) Will solid stain cover over wood filler (such as plastic wood)?4) As it ages, will the solid stain peel - like ordinary paint does? Or just fade like the ST did. 5) Prior to applying the solid stain, would the deck need cleaning since a) the ST single over-coat with the left-over ST seems to be soaking in and adhering well and b) both products are from the same family). Pics are attached showing the dried out ST stain and a place on the rail where I applied the ST overcoat.

      FYI, you should never recoat without prep. That creates all kinds of issues.
      1. Solid stains will not fill cracks or seal splinters. It is not that thick.2. More like a thin paint but it is 100% opaque.3. Yes.4. Wears over time. 5. Strip and brighten for prep would be best.

    I have a house with T1-11 fir siding. The siding itself is in good shape, but whatever stain/paint that was applied is basically gone. (see photo).  I had success with the semi-transparent deck stain, and am thinking of using your solid stain rather than paint.  Do you think the espresso solid stain would work after just a pressure washing?  I'm a little concerned about ensuring all the stripper/cleaner/brightener is rinsed on the second story areas.  I would applying it with a pressure roller, or perhaps spraying/back rolling.
