    We worked hard all weekend completing all three steps. Last day was staining day from 8am to 3pm - six hours later at 9pm it started raining unexpectedly. Forecast was wrong. Is all of our hard work ruined?

    I realized after staining a couple of railings that I did not mix the stain enough. I started shaking the container and transfering it to a 5 gallon bucket for mixing. The rest of the railings and deck came out as expected. Dark Walnut. 

    Can I apply a 3rd coat with the stain mixed properly now or will I have to wait until Spring? Will I have to sand or strip again?

      You cannot apply more now. Spring will be okay.

    A couple of my boards are still sticky a few days after application. I think I over-applied in that area. Anything I can do about it?

      No, not at this point. Just let it cure and dry over time.

    I just had an all-cedar fence installed about 3 weeks ago - all new wood. The vertical 1x6 pickets are rough-sawn, but the 2x4 horizontal rails are all kiln-dried and surfaced on all 4 sides. I'm planning to allow the fence to weather for ~6 weeks and then apply a RAD semi-transparent stain. Do I need to clean and brighten the kiln-dried 2x4's after weathering, even if they aren't dirty? Does the fact that most of the square footage is rough-sawn change the calculation for stain coverage? I have about 2300 square feet to stain. I'm in the Pacific Northwest so the rain season will likely preclude any staining opportunity from October through April.
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      RAD Products · 09/08/2022
      Yes, you need to clean and brighten to remove oxidation and mill glaze. Rough-sawn wood is more porous so coverage can be less and stain color can be darker as well.

        Ryan · 09/08/2022
        Thank you. Can I remove the mill glaze with a light sanding instead of cleaning and brightening? It seems it would be difficult to apply the cleaner/brightener to the 2x4's exclusively without splashing onto the pickets, which don't need it. I'm a bit hesitant to clean/brighten the entire fence since it's such a huge area (and time required for rinsing) and only a fraction of the wood actually needs it.

    Hi, we just finished 1st staining of my deck (unstained before) using your system.
    It is great that we could finish this in a day!! As shown in a picture, it looks a bit patchy. We would like to know how to make this recover in the 2nd staining we are planning next year.
    One thing to note is that we mistook our calculation and the cleaning solution we used was as half-thin as recommended. Is this the major reason or there may be other reasons for this result? And can we make this more smooth next year by simple repeating the process (clean, brighten and stain)?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      RAD Products · 09/05/2022
      Yes just clean and recoat next Spring to even out the appearance.

      Not if all rough cut wood. If smooth wood, you need to weather and prep it.

    Any special prep or application instructions for Teak? Do I need to let it dry out and let the pores open up? I'm imagining that I will eventually apply a semi-transparent stain. Is that the right choice?

    Hi, I plan to use semi-transparent for my fence, that is 5500 sq ft. I’m thinking 1 coat. How many gallons would I need if using a sprayer to apply? Thanks 

    secondly,I’ll use the same semi-transp for my deck but will do 2 coats. My deck was previously stained with semi-transp stain. I’ve pressure washed it and most of it has been removed. I did this cleaner (before I knew about y’all’s cleaner) will that be enough to prepare for stain?? 
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      RAD Products · 05/14/2022
      About 25-30 gallons. You have to strip off the prior coating, not just clean it. Post pics for prep help.

    Used RAD products to strip, brighten, and stain using the semi-transparent Cedar stain last summer. My deck is growing some mildew but I think I can power wash it away. Once I get the mildew off can I restain the deck right on top of the old stain or do I need additional prep?

      Use the RAd Cleaner if recoating while pressure washing.

          Apply with a pump sprayer and then pressure wash off. It cannot be applied through a pressure washer.

    We have a very small section of redwood fencing that was stained very recently with RAD semi-transparent dark walnut. Application went great, but we're now considering changing to a different color semi-transparent (cedar) to lighten things up a bit, and wondered if you have any tips on how to go about it. 
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      RAD Products · 01/14/2022
      You will have to remove the current stain if you want to go lighter in color. Use the RAD Stripper and Brightener Kit with both additives.

    I`m going to start clean and prepping the deck but it is starting to look like rain. There is a slight chance but this is Texas so it can rain anytime. My question is if it starts to rain while I`m in the process of cleaning will it hurt it? And can I continue to clean and wait till the next day and apply the stain?

    Hello, we built our 3-story porch in 2017, waited a year for it to weather then in 2018 the porch was stained with RAD semi-transparent. We are now re-staining again using the same color, after cleaning and brightening, should we use one coat or two? Also, photo shows how stain has worn on the horizontal surfaces but hardly on the verticals, do we just re-stain everything with the same amount of coats? Thank you in advance
