We will reply to your comment shortlyHere is my deck. What do you recommend. Total deck space is almost 1000 square feet. What do I need to restrain my deck.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyUse the stripper to remove as much as possible. Let dry and then use the solid stain.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyDo I need to use the brightener also? How much of each should I get? I have almost 1000 square feet to cover.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYes the brightener as well. Two kits of each. As for the stain. You would need 8-10 gallons for two coats.

We will reply to your comment shortlyOur deck is about 18 months old (pine). The deck still looks new. The handrails are starting to weather some. I like the solid stain (brown oak). Can I just apply this or does it need any prep.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYou have to prep first. Use the RAD Cleaner/Brightener kits.

We will reply to your comment shortlyLast year I painted a log cabin and deck with RAD. Customer and myself were very happy and I'll be seeing how it's holding up this year. I have a customer now who has a deck that has an acrylic latex flat stain on it with a product called Woodsman Revive. The stain on the deck is in good shape, I would propose power washing and staining without any sanding or stripping but I would like your opinion if you are familiar with the product. Customer stated that they were told it was not recommended to paint over this brand of stain and that it was impossible to clean the deck after staining. The stain seems to have some grit or coarseness to it. Thanks.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyIt sounds like a deck resurfacer type product so no, you cannot add our product or any other product over it.

We will reply to your comment shortlyMy cedar deck is about 475 square feet. The last time it was stained was with a solid stain. I plan on using a RAD solid stain. Plan to power wash to remove loose paint. Do I need to use stripper or brightener? About how many gallons of solid stain will I need? Thanks!
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyAbout 4-5 gallons for two coats. Strip off what you can while pressure washing.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyI've seen a few questions answered about tinting the RAD solid stain. We are getting ready to stain our deck coastal grey but we would like it a touch darker. What product would you recommend we tint the RAD should stain with?
Thanks-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYou cannot buy a tint and add to it. You would have to take to a paint store and see if they would be willing to tint it for you.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyI have an old solid stain on my deck currently and would like to apply a new solid stain. Does this require the stripper then brightener or just a good cleaning and power wash to remove loose/peeling material/grime. Thank you
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyStrip what you can while pressure washing. Brightener after to neutralize.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyOkay so I got my solid coastal gray but when I went to strip the former paint there was a lot left. So I bought a heavier duty paint stripper. What if I can’t strip all of the former paint? Can I still use the stain?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThe RAD Solid Stain will cover previous solid stains as long as it is intact and not peeling.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThis is my deck. I cleaned and power washed it last weekend but there is still a lot of paint left. What can I do? Is there any way I can just paint over this?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYou can this with a solid stain but best to sand off any loose stain that is on there now. You can cover the rest.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI have a rough sawn cedar picket fence I just purchased and will install. Do I still need to prep or wait to weather? I was told by lumber yard that it is ready to take stain immediately.
thabk you!-
We will reply to your comment shortlyIf rough sawn wood, you can stain now with no prep needed.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyWhat is the longest I can wait after using the cleaner and brightened to apply the stain ?
Also, although I think I know the answer to this, decking is very old with no stain. All the boards were flipped over which almost looks like new wood. Do I still treat as old wood and apply 2 coats ?-
We will reply to your comment shortly2 weeks after prep. Yes.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyForgot - full sun till about 4pm each day. 12x12 screened area - do I need to do the interior of the screened area?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYou will have to Strip and Brighten the wood to switch. 2 of each of those. About 10 gallons of stain for 2 coats.

We will reply to your comment shortly10 year old dock and railing, previously always used TWP 100 but it seems to only protect for a year. Can I use RAD on top? Last application 2 years ago - replacing some boards due to rot. dock is 1069 sq feet - wondering how much I need of each product.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyI stained the deck last year using A semi transparent Thompson’s (the worst). I want to use the solid espresso RAD. The deck is only 2 years old and in great condition. Do I need to use the cleaner, stripper and brighter before I apply the solid expresso RAD stain?
thanks you-
We will reply to your comment shortlyUse the Stripper for best results to remove as much as you can. Brighten after. You can cover what does not come off fully with the RAD Stain.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyI used the solid stain last year but would like to put on another coat this year. How do I clean and prep the deck for another coat?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyUse the RAD Cleaner and pressure washing for prep.

We will reply to your comment shortlyHello,
If I sand the surface, should I still use the RAD cleaner or brightener before applying RAD solid stain?
Thanks-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYes. Do not sand to fine. Use 80 grit or less paper.

We will reply to your comment shortlyDo you have a customer image of Oak Brown and Expresso?

We will reply to your comment shortlyHello, my deck is 260 sqft how many gallons of the white solid stain would I need for the deck and 2 steps
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyProbably 2-3 gallons for the two coats.
-

We will reply to your comment shortlyAttached is a picture of my deck before and after two applications of deck stripper. From what I can tell the existing coatings was a solid stain. I don't know what brand it was, it was applied by the prior home owners 9+ year ago. I have since sanded any remaining flaking paint which leaves me with a relatively smooth surface, albeit still with lots of existing stain as you can tell. After I brighten this to neutralize the stripper is this ready for RAD application? The deck is approximately 500 sqft, how many gallons should I purchase?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyFor future RAD users, here is my deck after brightener and first coat of desert taupe solid stain. I’ll post another picture once I get the second coat on.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYou can now use the RAD solid stain. For 2 coats, you will about 4-5 gallons.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyI was reading about the wet on wet application for the second coat. Does this apply to the solid stains as well or just the semi-transparent stains? I have stripped and brightened my deck and plan to stain tomorrow with a solid stain but probably won’t have time to apply a second coat until next weekend. If that is the case, should I wait to apply a second coat until the spring since it is outside the 20 minutes - 1 hour time or will it be okay to apply the second coat next weekend?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlySolid stains are not wet on wet. The second coat goes on after the first is dry but typically the same day is the best way.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI have a 20 years old deck.
I plan to use RAD cleaner and Brightener.
I want to use RAD SOLID stain - Coastal Gray.
1. Deck is 17 x 38 = 646 square feet
Rails are 49 FEET long (102 spindles and 7 posts)
I'm sure I will be doing 2 coats on the deck.
How many gallons of solid stain do I need for deck and rails?
I've read on the posting --- some say 3-4 gallons and other 6-7 gallons.-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYou will need about 5-6 gallons for this and two coats.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyI want to use semi-transparent dark walnut stain on the floor of the deck, and a solid color stain for the railings but you don't show that color in your color chart for solid colors. What do you recommend for matching the dark walnut semi-transparent?
Thank you,
Pat-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThere is not a matching solid stain. Closest would be Brown Oak.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyI had to replace 4 boards on the deck randomly. Do I need to skip painting them for 3-6 months until they age and weather?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYes, that is correct.
