    I purchased a home with a large deck that had been ignored for some time, then slapped with a coat of Cabot DeckCorrect before listing. Clearly they did not follow instructions for preparation because it began peeling off in large sections within a year. After spending two long weekends and hundreds of dollars renting the right equipment, I was successful in getting it off with 20 and 36 grit paper. What's underneath appears to be a very nice, but quite hard old redwood from what I can tell. I am still sanding edges and carving out sections of rot which I will add drain holes to and just let it be (no filler). Based on my research and the comments here, my plan is to then sand up to 100 grit, then use cleaner, then brightener, then some TBD staining product. The area will be in full sun in Southern California. Any suggestions for prep or product? Thanks!

      No finer than 60-80 grit. After fully sanding it off, do a final prep of the RAD Cleaner and Brightener before applying one coat of the RAD stain.

        Shane · 07/19/2020
        Thank you. I will use 60 grit then as the overall finish of the deck is pretty rustic already.

        Two other questions came to mind. One, I cannot tell for sure what species this is. It somewhat looks like redwood, but it very hard. Second, do you have suggestions for carving out these rot areas? I am using a wire brush and then will sand as much as I can, as well as add drain holes for water. Any other suggestions? See photos.

          Looks like redwood. You cannot fix the rotted areas. Replace boards if needed.

    I have just sanded off a solid stain finish from a 330 sf pressure treated pine deck. Age of deck is unknown, maybe 10-20 years. Do I need to brighten newly sanded wood? And how many coats of semi transparent stain - 1 or 2? I'm in SE Michigan. Thanks!

      Clean and brighten wood for final prep. 1 coat to sanded wood. You can pick up at our store in Bloomfield Hills if you would like.

    As I finish an RAD stain project for my deck, I want to apply a semi-transparent stain to a "dining" table I built for the deck out of pressure-treated pine. What do you recommend in terms of a product for the table top to help protect against food and drink spills, salt, and/or anything else from a meal? The table will experience direct sun from about 8-11 am, then it will be in the shadows for the remainder of the day.

      You will need to treat this as new wood. See here: https://www.restore-a-deck.com/Deck-Cleaning-Reviews-and-Tips/restore-a-deck-stain-for-new-wood.html

      After wait and prep, you can use the RAD stains.

        WHM · 07/14/2020
        Sorry, I was not clear in my question. Yes, I will treat as new wood and will follow your 3-step process with the semi-transparent stain. I was wondering if you had any recommendations for a product to cover the stain on the table top only . . . polyurethane? varnish? shellac? resin? I am concerned about food spills, e.g red wine? I want to protect and not destroy the semi-transparent stain. The table is about 52" inches in diameter and a thick piece of glass would be a bit too much.

    I am a little concerned with hot sun application. With it being summer and daily highs reaching the 90s I was thinking about applying the product at night after it has cooled down a little bit. Would there be any problem with this?

    I am in hot/humid AL. Deck is covered so not a lot of direct sun but edges get partial sun.
    I have about 300 sq ft to seal total... deck bench & steps.
    I have used Cabot semi transparent light oak to stain bench around deck (usually takes 2 coats but I don’t want it darker). I want to clear coat deck & also add clear sealer to bench.
    Both were just pressure washed & sanded.
    What product do you recommend?
    Do you have any retailers in AL in Birmingham area?

      Hello. The RAD stains only come in semi-transparent color or solid colors and not in a clear. You also cannot apply a clear coat over your stained bench. Does not work. We sell online only.

    Hi I have just finished the applying the brightener, how long do I wait before staining? Also, I’m not too sure how to stain the ideal way. How many coats? If 2 coats how long do I wait after the first? Do I stain verticals first? Do I stain section by section?

    My deck is 12 years old, made from treated pine and approx. 480 sq ft of floor boards and about 350 sq ft of railing, skirting, etc. I am planning to use semitransparent stain on the floor boards and a solid stain on the rest. Deck currently has a solid stain (brand?). I completely sanded off the floor and replaced approx. 16 of the 6" x 16" boards (128 of the total 480 sq ft). I plan to buy the cleaner and brightener. I plan to apply 2 coats of each stain (only one to the new floor boards?) unless advise otherwise. About how many gallons of the solid and semitransparent will I need? And, how long do I need to wait to stain the new wood?

    What semi-transparent stain should I apply to a Tiger Wood deck?

    The deck is

    2000 sq ft (includes steps and railings)

    previously stained (2 years ago) now grey and weathered

    SW WA state (near Portland, OR) so gets lots of rain, sun, mildew/mold

    Do I use cleaner or stripper?

    How much cleaner/stripper, brightener, stain should I buy?

      Strip and brighten. 2-3 of the Kits. Use the RAD semi-transparent stain. About 10 gallons for the one coat needed.

    Stained PT Pine deck with Rad semi transparent cedar stain but I want it to be darker. What is the minimum time before I can go back and put the dark walnut on it. Does it matter if it has one or two coats of the cedar? It was stripped and brightened before staining....what prep is needed before staining with the dark walnut color? Would the time frame or prep be different if I went with the solid stain?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly

      Clean and brighten for prep in 9-12 months. If you want to do it sooner, then strip and brighten.

        Thanks. Do you have any real life example pictures of the dark walnut?

        Also, this is new cedar being installed. My supplier of the wood recommends sealing all six sides prior to installing. Then after install we can apply a 2nd coat on the outside if required. I've seen other sites (Armstrong Clark) suggesting for new wood to be installed without stain and to wait 3-4 months before staining.

        Do you have any issues with my suppliers recommendation of sealing first and then installing?

          RAD Products · 05/18/2020
          If new wood then you cannot stain it yet. Install, let weather, prep with a Cleaner and Wood Brightener and stain only the exposed wood is the proper way.

            Joe · 05/18/2020
            Thank you. How about the non-exposed sides? Are you recommending not treating them at all, even if being used as exterior T&G siding? We want to ensure that the boards last a long time and is protected against rotting and insects.

              RAD Products · 05/18/2020
              No need to stain the unexposed wood. Stains would not help on the backside to prevent rot or insects anyhow. It is for exposed wood protection. Cedar is already naturally resistant to rot and insects.
