And I have a power washer that hooks up to the hose and there’s the reservoir on the long nozzle that mixes the product in—-is that the right device for these products?

We will reply to your comment shortlyHello, I purchased the above kit with the additive and booster combo in hopes of properly prepping my deck before staining it with RAD semi transparent cedar. I also purchased another gallong of the stain. We purchased our home about a year and a half ago and from what I can tell the previous owner used Thompsons water seal. The deck is about ~475 square feet (not including the beams/roof).
My question is...
1) Did I purchase enough stripper/brightener/stain to complete my deck (flooring/beams/roof)?
2) From reading the comments, the process would be apply stripper, brightener, then stain. If I wanted to sand the beams/floor how much time do I have after applying the stripper then sanding before I apply broghtener?
3) What is the best way to tackle the small wooden beams on the roof? Can I just apply stripper/brightener without agitation then power wash?-
We will reply to your comment shortly1. Yes, you have enough prep.
2. If you want to sand, do it prior to the brightening. A few days in between is okay.
3. Yes, you will need to agitate any of the wood for this. Not a hard strip.
Make sure to do the fence next!

We will reply to your comment shortlyLooking to finish this new deck this year. Put in in Oct so it went thru the winter here in MI. Asking what I need for a natural finish. All that will apply so I get everything I need. Thank you Larry
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyFor prep, use this kit: https://www.restore-a-deck.com/RAD-Kits-Best-Prices.html

We will reply to your comment shortlyHi I used this product in 2020 to stain my deck. Now we have some faded sun spots. What products do I need to purchase to restrain/correct this area?

We will reply to your comment shortlyUse the RAD Cleaner and Brightener kit for prep before reapplying.

We will reply to your comment shortlyHello,
I am looking to buy this product for a porch for a customer of mine. I've not used this product before so I have some questions before I commit to buying.
1) one of his concerns is will the cleaner or stripper kill any of the plants and bushes growing around the edges of the porch?
2) he's looking to clean the mold and mildew off of the ceiling of his porch (which is a finished knotty pine ceiling). Would you recommend this product for such an activity?
3) will the stripper take off paint from his house or the columns of the porch? If so, is there a way to protect the paint so this project doesn't require a new paint job as well?
4) if he only want's to clean the mold off of the finished ceiling and not do a full refinish, would the cleaner do that without destroying the pre-existing finish?
5) does your finish resist new mold and mildew from growing again in the near future?
Thank you kindly,
Faye-
We will reply to your comment shortly1. As long as you prewet and rinse any over spray right away, you should be fine.
2. Use the RAD Cleaner.
3. The Stripper will not remove paint unless the paint is peeling.
4. The Cleaner should only be used if you are planning on recoating.
5. Yes.

We will reply to your comment shortlywant to make sure I do this correct, currently the deck has Penofin deck stain very old would like to start fresh with your product. Stripper , cleaner, stain correct? thanks

We will reply to your comment shortlyNo. Strip, Brighten, then stain. No need for the Cleaner.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI received my stripper/brightener kit a couple days ago and am ready to do the work today, but it's going to be about 100 degrees here. I planned to powerwash the deck, then use the stripper, powerwash again, then the brightener, and powerwash one more time before applying the stain wet on wet. Do you have any comments on the above process, or tips/suggestions to get the best result on such a hot day?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyPrep is fine but do not stain on such a hot day: https://www.restore-a-deck.com/Deck-Cleaning-Reviews-and-Tips/restore-a-deck-stain-hot-sun-application.html
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyHow long can the deck sit if we only do prep today before it would need it again? It's supposed to be over 90 degrees every day until this weekend here. Will it be ok to prep today and not stain for another 3-4 days?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYes. Stain within 2 weeks of prep.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyActually, looks like 90% of the deck will be in shade by the time we are ready to stain today. Do you still suggest waiting until a <90 degree day overall?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYes, 90 or less.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI have a weathershield pine deck that is one year old, my plan is to just apply finish since it is clean and pristine, should that be my plan?

We will reply to your comment shortlyYou must prep. See here about new wood: https://www.restore-a-deck.com/Deck-Cleaning-Reviews-and-Tips/restore-a-deck-stain-for-new-wood.html
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyCan you tell me what type of wood is used in your stain test photos above? Trying to get an idea of the natural wood color before staining in order to choose color.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyCedar but colors vary not just on wood type but the age of the wood.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI am looking to restain my redwood deck - part new, part old and last coated with Cabots Australian Timber Oil. I have a few quick questions:
1. I am having it professionally done and they are planning to power wash and sand prior to restaining - will I still need to have them use the stripper for the previously stained portion of the deck after sanding? Will the stripper work as a cleaner for the unstained portion of the deck well enough not to buy both products? 2. Which color option is best for redwood? 3. The deck is approx 440 sq ft, accounting for 15-20% overage for ends, vertical surfaces, etc. How much product will I need? Thank you!-
We will reply to your comment shortly1. No need to strip if you sand it all off. Final prep after sanding with the RAD Cleaner and Brightener. One of each.2. Any color you like. Color preference is your choice.3. Only one coat of stain on sanded wood. About 3-4 gallons.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThank you. Would you suggest sanding at all, or just using the stripper and brightener to remove the old oil stain then power washing? And color wise I was just wondering what most people use on redwood, if one color is more popular, or looks better on that grain.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYou should not have to sand. Stripping will work, brighten after. Color varies based on wood type and age of wood so no way to say for certain what it will look like on your wood and there is not one color that is more popular than others.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyWith all that said, should I buy the kit with the stripper, or the cleaner?

We will reply to your comment shortlyI need to repair some boards before applying stain. Can you recommend wood filler and method of repairing cracked boards before applying RAD stains?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyWood filler does not work on decking. It also will not blend when staining. Just leave as is. Cracks are normal in outside wood.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI used Thomson's Water Seal on my deck last year. The house/deck is new to me so I don't know if the previous owner ever did anything with the 10 year old deck. After one year the coating is pealing in areas which get a lot of sun and traffic. Would this kit be good to replace this finish?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYes.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyI applied a single coat of Natural Semi-Transparent to a treated pine deck a week ago. I noticed some areas of light coverage. Will it be ok to touch-up those areas?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyNo, it will not blend and or take after the first coating has cured and dried.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyI have a deck that was stained 3 years ago. There are a few areas with stain remaining. What would you recommend, stripper or not? Could I get a way with a cleaner than brighter if I go with a darker stain? Also it is 288 sq ft, how much stain?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYou will need to strip and then brighten this: https://www.restore-a-deck.com/RAD-Kits-Best-Prices.html
About 3 gallons for two coats.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI purchased a home 2 years ago, it was build 15 years ago. The deck is 376 sq ft. Previously stained with Valspar or Flood Cedar penetrating oil (two empty cans in storage area). Would like to use Restore-A-Deck semi-transparent water base cedar stain. Looking at the kit with stripper/5 gallons of stain. The photo of the steps shows a pressure wash result on the first few steps without a cleaner or stripper. Question is best way to proceed. Thank you!
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyUse the Stripper with both additives: https://www.restore-a-deck.com/rad-stain-stripper-additives.html
Brightener after.-
We will reply to your comment shortlyShould I complete the pressure wash before the stripper? Pressure wash to remove it? Any time needed between stripping with both additives and the brightener? Time between brightener & stain? Thanks again, will add 1 photo I forgot earlier.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyNo need to pressure wash first. You brightener as soon as you are done with stripping. You can apply the RAD Stain to damp or dry wood.

We will reply to your comment shortlyHi there! We haven’t done anything to our deck since we moved in 5 years ago. It’s a 2 level 450 sq feet deck(plus the vertical railing). We don’t know what it was stained or painted with or the type of wood that it is made out of. The pictures are showing the deck after I power washed it and cleaned it with Valspar all in one wood prep cleaner. What are my option to get it cleaned off all the way? Sanding? If I do send it all down what are the products that I need to apply afterwards and how much of it? Thanks
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyLooks like you have a solid stain which it cannot be removed fully (unless you power sand it all off) and you will need to use a solid stain to go over it: https://www.restore-a-deck.com/restore-a-deck-wood-stain/restore-a-deck-solid-stain.html
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyIf the stripping successfully removes all the old solid, why the need to stay with a solid?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyIf it removes it fully then yes, you can switch away from a solid stain. It is rare that stripping will fully remove a solid stain.

We will reply to your comment shortlyGood morning, I've seen a lot of good reviews for you products and I am wondering if my deck is a good candidate for your Restore-A-Deck system. My deck is about 700 sq ft, is 20-25 years old and has not had anything done (no stain, protection, sanding, anything) in over 10 years. It is pretty rough and needs some help. It is very structurally sound, but the walking surface and railings are rough. Splinters are a real problem if you go bare foot on the deck.
My goal is to make it a bit smoother and look a bit better so I can get a few more years use out of it until I can replace all the deck boards and rails with a composite product. I don't expect to be able to go barefoot on it even after applying your system, but it should look better (I hope).
My plan is to pressure wash it, lightly sand with 60-80 grit sandpaper (heavy sanding in a few really rough areas), apply your Restore-A-Deck Stripper/Brightener system, and stain with your Dark Walnut stain.
Will your stripper remove most of the old stain (several pics attached)?
Do you think this is worth my time and money?
Your 5 gallon kits says coverage is 500-1000 sq ft? Is there anyway I can determine if this kit will be enough for my 700 sq ft deck? I'd hate to get halfway through staining and run out.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
Dave-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThe Stripper with the additives should remove most: https://www.restore-a-deck.com/rad-stain-stripper-additives.html
You will need about 7 gallons for two coats applied wet on wet t this. If you did not add in the railings then you will need more. It will look much better when done.

We will reply to your comment shortlyHello, I am curious about this kit. I see that it only comes with a stripper and a brightener. Does the stripper eliminate the need for the cleaner? I am working on a brand new deck that I just recently stained. I stained with another brand semi-transparent gray and I hate it. It looks like dirty wood, not gray. I let my new deck (PTP) weather for 12 months and then I used Wolman's deck cleaner and brightener which both worked well. I stained it after drying for two days and the stain accepted well, but I am very unhappy with the color. So, I am assuming that using a stripper and brightener would be the best bet to get a fresh start. So, to sum this up, does the stripper eliminate the need for a cleaner? And, what is the best forward to restart on my deck that has only had stain for a week? Thanks for your time!
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyPost a picture of the deck and what brand and type of stain did you use? Thanks
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyI used defy semi-transparent stain. It was the highest-rated stain that I could find locally in a store. It's strange because in the picture looking towards the end of the deck, it does look like a dirty gray. When you're on the deck, it definitely does not have that much color. I followed their applications exactly and did a wet on wet application only doing about 5 boards at a time. I would like a true light gray color with some woodgrain coming through. On my computer, that's what your cottage gray looks like. If that is not possible, then I am probably just going to go with a natural color. I also attached their color chart. I suppose their color chart is somewhat accurate when looking at a certain angle, but the photos on their website didn't seem to be representative of the stain. The user photos all were a light gray that was bright.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyI am not sure if you will be able to strip this fully. It is very difficult to remove a newly applied stain and even more so when applied fairly heavy like this. it almost looks like a paint. If you want to try, use the stripper with both additives: https://www.restore-a-deck.com/rad-stain-stripper-additives.html
After removing as much as you can, you will probably need to sand the rest off. Brightener is last. No need to clean.-
We will reply to your comment shortlyAlright, what are your thoughts on color? I just now noticed that y'all have a solid stain. I feel like that is probably what I'm going to have to go with to get that bright gray color. Do you have a photo of a customers project with the semi-transparent coastal gray that you could show me?

We will reply to your comment shortlyMy deck is in pretty rough shape. We have not done anything to it in 5 years/since we moved in. I can tell it was years before that when/if anything was done to it. Can I use restore a deck?
From what I read, I would strip. I would brighten. I would stain. Do I need to sand? If so, when?-
We will reply to your comment shortlyClean and the brightener. No need to strip. Hand sand lightly for splinters only. Stain after.

-
We will reply to your comment shortlyI have a pressure treated deck that was stained with a solid water based stain. I have power washed it and most of the stain has come off but there are patches where the stain is still present. I want to restain with your semi-transparent product. Will the stripper remove these spots?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyNo, you will need to sand off the solid stain.
