    I live in an area that often rains for hours on end. After such a rainfall, when the standing water on my deck disappears, can I apply the restore-a-deck stain? if it is better to wait until the wood is dry, how long should I wait? Also, how long can I store the stain in my garage before it loses its effectiveness?

    Thank you for your reply in advance!

      The RAD stain can be applied to damp wood or dry wood. Not soaking wet wood. Stain can last about 12 months if opened a few years if unopened as long as it is stored in a temperature controlled room.

    I recently picked up an outdoor patio dining table/chairs set made of mahogany that presently has a nice weathered gray finish. I'd like to preserve the gray finish. I plan to clean it and sand it before staining. Is the natural stain the way to go? Or will it end up bringing back the original mahogany color? Which stain should I select?

      Sorry, but we do not have a clear coat that would work for what you are trying to do. The RAD stains are tinted semi-transparent colors.

    Have sanded and prepped a cedar deck that is 20 years old. Was grey, moldy and mildew. It's about 250 sq' with railings. I powerwashed then sanded. I think it turned out great. Unfortunately I applied a cabot stain semi solid that I thought my wife would like. You guessed it she doesnt, and in all fairness I don't either. It is almost orange. Yuk! I would like to use your stripper, then brightner and then finally one of your stains. Wood is smooth and good shape from prior sanding, so I would love to avoid doing that again if possible. I know you cant tell me which color to get, understand I do not want anything near orange. It looks like the natural may lean yellow/orangish, so I am thinking light walnut. I also like seeing the grain of the wood, and the current cabot virtually obscures all grain, like a paint. Please help, your product appears to be what I'm looking for

      Unfortunately, a stain stripper will not remove this. It is applied to the point that it is filming like a solid stain and stain stripper like ours will not remove it when this thick. You will have to sand this off.

      Once removed you will be able to use the RAD Wood Stain. We do have samples for testing.

    If I am unable to do a second coat(wet on wet), may not have enough. Can you apply a second coat a few days later?

      RAD Products · 05/20/2018
      No. It will already have cured by then. If you are able to only do one coat, then leave as is and do a light recoat in a year.

    The stain comes in 2 1/2 gallon containers. Can you shake these to mix or do you have to pour them out into a bucket and mix?

    Trying to choose a color for a new redwood deck, and I don't have time to send for the samples. Do you have any pictures of the 4 stains on redwood? Also if we decide we want it darker in a year when it's ready for the next coat can we just go over it with the darker RAD stain?

      Sorry, but we do not have pictures on redwood. Yes, you can prep and recoat with a darker color if you would like.

    After using RAD stain, in a few years when a new coat of RAD stain is needed, will I need to use the cleaner/ brightener again or would I have to use the stripper
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      RAD Products · 04/28/2018
      Cleaner/brightener is normal for recoatings in say 2-3 years. If you let it go too long, you may need to strip and brighten. It is just as easy to use the stripper as it is to use the cleaner. No difference in the amount of work for the prep.

    Hi. Do you have some type of calculator on how much I need? (I see per gallon above, but was hopping for one that would calculate. Raised deck with pressure treated pine in Northeast. will be removing an oil based semi transparent stain first, then using your product for the first time. deck surface approx. 650sq ft. 12stairs 4ft wide closed steps. approx. 100 linear ft of railing 3 ft high.
    Please let me know how much of ea product you would recommend.


    also, can an airless paint spray gun be used? if so, any special intructions you'd recommend?


    thanks.

    cleaning, brightening, staining a 2 year old PT wood dock with ST RAD. The wood has never had anything done to it except pressure washing. Notice on the underside, there is some mildew. I was told at a paint store to leave the underside of dock unstained to allow moisture evaporation. Dock is on land now but will remain in the water after this year. Should I use the RAD cleaner on the underside or is that just a waste of time as will quickly return with it being over water year round?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      RAD Products · 04/21/2018
      No need to do the undersides of the dock and the mildew will just most likely return.

    planning to use RAD for a dock. Should I add mildewcide to the RAD stain
    • We will reply to your comment shortly

      No need. Being water-based, it will not promote mildew growth.

      Depends on the bug repellent. It must be able to mix with water-based stains.

    Would the stripper work on vertical surfaces?( Ie spindles) will either the brightener or stripper harm vinyl siding or flashing? How about patio blocks? Stripping twp500
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      RAD Products · 04/15/2018
      Yes, the stripper removes TWP from verticals. The products will not harm vinyl or patio blocks.

    I applied Armstrong Clark transparent cedar to a new cedar deck late last summer, now is already appearing black in areas from mold/mildew. Was planning to prep with your cleaner/brightener again and reapply, but read about your new stain on deckstainhelp.com. Can I clean/brighten with RAD over the oil based Armstrong Clark and apply the RAD Natural? Thanks for your input.

      RAD Products · 03/09/2018
      Hello Eric,

      You cannot apply the RAD stain over a different brand of stain. The best way to prep is to use the RAD Stain Stripper. Apply and pressure wash off. Use the Wood Brightener after the stripping to neutralize and brighten the deck. Once prepped, you can use the RAD wood stain in any color.
