    I have what may seem like a really dumb question, but I got 2 of the 2.5 gallon jugs of stain. what is the best way to mix that before pouring out to start work?

      You can mix into a 5-gallon plastic pail if needed.

    I meant, do I need re-strip the whole deck and restrain or can I just clean, brighten, and add a maintenance coat?

    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?

      Not if the first coat has dried. Second coats are applied wet on wet.

      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.

      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 just finished prepping my 12 year old pressure deck for staining. The total surface area including decking, rails, and steps is about 800 square feet. How many gallon of RAD do I need? Also can I apply just one coat? I have just recently heard of this product is it new to the market?

    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.

    PS...love the product...love it!

    Dustin · 08/15/2018
    I was reading this elsewhere, "While water-based stain can typically last two to three years and is more environmentally friendly (it’s solvent-free), its refinishing process can be more work. Unlike oil-based stain, it’s often necessary to remove the old water-based stain entirely before a fresh coat is applied, which usually requires a combination of sanding, stripping, and scraping." My question is whether this is true with the restore a deck stain? can you just apply stain where needed when the stain fades or do you have to strip the stain in entirely to add a new coat of stain to areas where needed?

      The RAD stain is a penetrating stain so no, it does not have to be removed when reapplying.

    Dustin · 07/25/2018
    May be dumb question but how do you apply this stain? Oil based stains it appears you do small sections and then wipe the sections off with a rag. Do you wipe the stain off after you apply the stain? Do you apply water based and oil based stains the same way?
