    Should I shake the stain before pouring some of it in a smaller container?

    I have a 3 year old deck made of pressure treated wood. It have never been stained. There is some greying. I plan to use a semi-translucent RAD stain.  
    What do you recommend for preparation?  Does it need cleaner and brightener?  One or two coats of stain?  What is the best application method?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      RAD Products · 08/14/2022
      Use both Cleaner and Brightener for prep. Two coats applied wet on wet. Use stain pads for r brushes for applying.

    Received our 2 2.5 gallons of light walnut stain along with the cleaners, brighteners, brush and single gallon that we ordered.  Apparently the transit process wasn’t too kind since one or both of the 2.5 gallon containers leaked.  Boxes were left on our concrete path - going outside now to try and power wash the leaked stain which had soaked through the shipping box.  Is this a common problem with UPS etc?

      UPS quality of service has gone downhill since covid. More packages and not enough workers lead to a much larger amount of issues and damages. Very sorry that this happened and if you need an extra gallon to finish your job, let us know and we will send at no cost.

        Thank you very much. I appreciate the offer.  Anticipating putting down the stain in the next few days if Mother Nature cooperates so I’ll know shortly if I’m going to run short.  It has been a pleasure doing business with you.  I have never dealt with a customer service group as responsive to all of my questions etc as good as you all!!

    I used your products and have finished staining my deck.  Used semi transparent cedar stain. I only applied one coat and I think is looks great.  Is a second coat needed to insure that I won't be re-doing deck next year?

    Is this product water-based? Is it safe to use on a raw pressure-treated wood roof deck with EPDM below? There's no way to protect the EPDM during application. 
    • We will reply to your comment shortly

      Yes, it is water-based and will not harm the EPDM.

    I have a ~400 sq ft deck, which was likely stained sometime in the past couple years and has what looks like rather significant water stains? I do have a power washer. Would you advise cleaner/brightner or stripper/brightner? Based on color I am also thinking the cedar semi- transparent is way to go. Please advise. Thank you.

    We powerwashed our IPE deck close to the wood a few days ago and plan to stain using RAD. I have attached 2 photos of the deck + a 3rd photo of the porch ceiling which is the color we'd like to restore to.

    A few questions please:

    1) For prep, do you think we should use (A) RAD stripper + brightener or (B) RAD cleaner + brightener or (C) none based on these photos? Unsure if the deck has been stained in the past.

    2) As for the stain, do you have a recommendation on which color of the RAD semi-transparent stain to match picture #3 (ceiling of the porch which hasn't been as subject to the elements)? 

    Thanks you very much for the help!

    Over a year and a half ago, I needed to sand off the old paint (or solid stain) and I got just about everything sanded off or at least as best I could.  I ran out of time before the winter came and since then, wood has weathered considerably.  Do you recommend I sand again or would I be ok cleaning, brightening and then applying the dark walnut stain?  I also have new wood (deck gate) that is clearly lighter in color because it is newer...any recommendations on how to get the gate to match the rest of the deck or is this just how its going to be?  Any info you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

      No need and you can never apply a sealer over a deck stain, it will peel if you do.

      RAD Products · 05/08/2022
      Yes, Constant wear from heavy water running off the roof will degrade the stain. The only way to fix this issue (any stain will have this problem) is to add a gutter on your roof to divert the water. The best way to fix it is to clean and recoat all the wood.

    Is the natural color stain dry clear or does it have a tint to it?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      RAD Products · 05/07/2022
      It is tinted. Clear coatings (no tint at all) will not provide any UV protection from graying.

    I was so pleased last August when I completed the stripping, brightening, and staining our 20-year old 150’ cedar deck with your Dark Walnut product. But the cold wet Seattle winter apparently took its toll with this area under the garage drip line. What happened and what can I do to fix it? Don’t care if it doesn’t match the rest - just want to get some protection on this old wood.

    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      RAD Products · 04/07/2022
      The 30-Second cleaner is not good for wood (bleach-based) and is very poor at prepping in general. You should redo with the proper prep products. The RAD Cleaner and Brightener Kit.

    1) Using all RAD product. Doing my 2 yr old fence with Stripper and Brightener. Will then do Wet-on-Wet application of Semi-Transparent stain. When would I need to stain again?
    When I do will I just clean/brighten or do I have to strip/brighten.
    How many coats for the future semi-transparent staining, same as wet-on-wet?

    2) Doing a new wood application of Semi-Transparent on my deck.
    I understand to do the one coat now and maintenance in 12-18 months.
    When I do the maintenance in 12-18 months do I do a clean/brighten/stain or strip/brighten/stain process? How many coats? Wet-on-wet?
    Then 2-3 yrs after the maintenance do I do a clean/brighten/stain or strip/brighten/stain?
    Would that application in 2-3 yrs be a wet-on-wet type application?
    Thank you.

      1. For a fence, every 3-6 years. Clean and brighten for prep when recoating. Two coats.
      2. Clean and brighten. One coat after 18 months.
