    Has anyone ever use RAD for a fence? Strongly considering this product but would like to know more about coverage per gallon! It says 100-200 and I am assuming that is for a deck. I have 3800 sq. ft. of fencing I need to do! Trying to figure out the right amount to order.


    Thanks

      RAD Products · 07/20/2019
      Coverage is the same for the fence. For two coats and 3800 sq feet. you will need 30-35 gallons. Works great for fences.

        With your product, what would be the best way to apply the stain? Sprayer, Roller or brush for a privacy fence?

          RAD Products · 07/22/2019
          Spray on the first coat and back brush your second coat 20-45 minutes later.

            I have a lesco 4 gallon backpack sprayer that has piston drivers (commercial grade). Do you think that will work for staining a fence?

    This stain was a dream to work with wet on wet coats. Results were a little uneven on my older deck that's been stained many times before even after double stripping, but still looks great & I'm very satisfied ! I highly recommend this semi-transparent stain product. The Padco pads work great. I used two pads for a 2-level deck 12x16 + 10 x 10. I used about 3 gallons of stain. I have about 2 gallons of stain leftover. How long is the leftover stain good for & what is the best way to store it?

    I meant, do I need re-strip the whole deck and restrain or can I just clean, brighten, and add a maintenance coat?
  • We will reply to your comment shortly
    Dustin · 05/07/2019
    I have a maintenance question. I applied the natural stain (restore a deck) last year to hardwood late summer. I did not expect more than a year because it is hardwood. It is now spring of the following year and much of the stain is faded and some boards on the deck are starting to grey a little. Some parts of railings which are exposed to sun or more elements are more faded. I would like to maintenance with the same color. Do I need to restrict the whole deck and restrain or can I just clean, brighten and add a maintenance coat?

    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      RAD Products · 04/09/2019
      The active shelf life of the cleaner is a few hours once mixed. If you have a gallon of mixed cleaner, it will not work very well if used tomorrow.

    Sorry for the continued questions. I was going to use a roller to apply stain but have also purchased the brush head from you. Is the brush head the better option?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      RAD Products · 04/08/2019
      Rollers do not work that well when applying a penetrating stain. Use a stain pad or the RAD staining brush for best results.

    I used cleaner and brighter yesterday was going to stain this morning but wood looks like it has almost "white hair" on some of the boards. I have sanded some of the railings but hoping not to have to sand deck as the wood is 9 months old. What can I do to fix? What did I do wrong?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      RAD Products · 04/07/2019
      New wood when it sits exposed oxidizes. You that have to remove the gray oxidation from the wood. What you seeing is not full removal of the oxidation. You can go over it again with the cleaner. The wood fibers also do not show when stain and will darken in color.

          I instaled a deck last August 2018, I have bought cleaner and brightner. looking to buy stain for a 16' x 22 ' deck. Will I need to stain with 2 coats or 1? I assume i would need 5 gallons for one coat. Do you recommend 2 coats? An if so would I need to purchase 10 gallons then? Deck also has spindles with the same 16 x 22, has 8 steps to ground as well. THANKS

            One coat since the wood is less than 12 months old. As for quantity needed, use the calculator on right-hand side if on a desktop. Or give us a total sq footage that includes all flooring, steps, and railings.

    Hello, I have new steps (~4 months old), a deck exposed to the sky (grey wood photo/ 12 years old) and the rest of the deck is in a screened in porch. You can see the transition from the exposed and sheltered parts of the deck. I was planning on using a stripper, brightener, and following with a damp deck staining the same day. I do have a power washer handy. Any advice for my plan? Should I skip the stripper and use a cleaner instead? Many thanks.
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      RAD Products · 10/04/2018
      You have a little bit of old stain so use the Stripper and then the Brightener. Rinse the brightener for 20 minutes when done, making sure all suds are removed.

    I have just ordered your stain. I plan on using it on my wooden driveway, which is slanted and becomes slippery in the wet months here in the Pacific Northwest. I was considering adding an anti-skid product made for paints and stains, which is ground up walnut shells, 40/60 grit. Do you recommend I use your stain on my driveway? Do you have any concern about adding the anti-skid product (the instructions say to add it to the final coat)?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      RAD Products · 09/22/2018
      The RAD stain is a penetrating (not a filming) stain so a grit will or antiskid will not work.

    I applied one coat onto new wood, some areas obviously didn't absorbe enough of the stain..or the user didn't apply enough...(just sayin')...can I apply another coat with a sprayer and be ok? I am assuming the wood is fairly thirsty and soaked it in.
