RAD™ PaintStrip & Solid Wood Stain Stripping Gel
R-A-D™ PaintStrip is the right choice for almost any paint or solid stain stripping project. R-A-D™ PaintStrip is eco-friendly, works fast (starts working within 5 minutes), and removes up to 5 layers of most paints in 30-45 minutes, and up to 15 layers in 24 hours. R-A-D™ PaintStrip stays wet for 24+ hours, allowing you to strip larger areas without having to reapply.
Note: Our regular stain stripper, Restore-A-Deck Stain Stripper will remove 80-90% of all exterior and wood and deck stains. It does have its limitations with certain coating types and is the reason we have introduced R-A-D™ PaintStrip.
When Should You Use RAD™ PaintStrip on Wood Decks
R-A-D™ PaintStrip is best used when removing any extremely thick coatings like paint or solid stains. If you have a coating that is non-transparent and peeling, then the R-A-D™ PaintStrip is the right choice for you. Much easier than power sanding or grinding to remove these coating types.
Examples of Wood Coatings R-A-D™ PaintStrip Removes
- Solid Color Wood Stains, Paints, Varnishes
- Excessively Over-Applied Semi-Transparent and Semi-Solid Coatings
- Filming Acrylic Wood Stain Coatings such as Behr Wood Stains, Thompsons, Olympic, SuperDeck, Benjamin Moore ArborCoat, Valspar, PPG/Pittsburgh, and any other exterior wood and deck stains

Will this stripper remove the paint on the metal pickets or balusters that some decks have?
Yes, it could so best to cover and or protect them
We used Olympic Maximum Semi-Transparent Cedar Tone Stain + Sealer about 9 years ago. I’m trying to decide if I need to use RAD Stripper or RAD Paint Stripper.
Please upload some pics in the comments of the deck so we can offer proper advice.
I uploaded pictures to the original post. Did you get them?

The RAD PainStrip would be the easiest way to remove the filming acrylic stain.
Hello. Will be stripping an ipe deck with the RAD paint stripper product this week starting tomorrow. My question is: can the stripper can be applied to damp surfaces?
There is a likelihood that the stripper may have to be applied in stages, (different days), due to deck size. If I pressure wash off Monday’s application of stripper on Tuesday, can I continue application of the paint stripper on Tuesday even though unstripped adjacent areas are damp due to the pressure washing?
Yes, you can use the stripper on damp wood.
I am using RAD paint stripper on a deck that wraps around three sides of the house. When power washing off will it damage vinyl siding or vinyl railings, or shrubs. I understand direct contact with product might cause some damage, but do I need to be concerned about it when power washing?
Avoid contact with any surfaces that are not being stripped. Cover prior and rinse with water after.
Thanks. Do I need to brighten before staining after using the paint stripper?

No need with the Paint Strip.
