    Going to use the two step Restore a Deck product before staining on two year old non stained deck. Do I need to cover/protect vinyl siding on house along deck. Also have Black powcer coated smooth aluminum spindles in rails; do I need protect these also while using the Restore a Deck products?

      It does not harm vinyl. As for the spindles, typically no issues but always test spot first as they are not all made the same way.

    my deck is a year old. It gets afternoon sun and rain and heavy wind. We painted the railings and pergola with Behr semi transparent water base stain. The deck we started painting the edges and then decided to go with an oil base semi solid stain. Also one of the boards is cupped and holds water and has turned green. What should we use to clean prior to applying new stain?

      You will have to fully remove the Behr and that will require stripping off what you can and then sanding the rest off. Brightener would be last.

    I currently have TWP 1500 on my deck that was applied two years ago. I'm looking to clean/power wash and apply another coat. What product should I use for cleaning.

        This will not strip my current TWP stain correct? Just clean it properly for a top coat.

          TWP Stains · 04/10/2020
          It preps it properly for a recoat. It may remove some of the current TWP if is it starting to fail. It really depends on how long it has been.

    I have a 20 year old deck that is cracked and splintering. I am considering flipping the boards over instead of replacing them. What prep would I need to do before staining?

    We have been using Cabot oil-based semi-solid New Redwood stain on our deck. We usually use the true oil, but last year needed to use the low VOC since we live in Illinois. It didn't hold up. Our deck has pressure treated wood. We actually have 2 connecting decks. One is newt than the other. I would like to stick with a similar color. What would you recommend using? Thank You!

      TWP cannot be applied over this stain. You would have to remove this and that would require power sanding as it cannot be stripped.

    I recently cleaned my deck with a bleach based cleaner. It didn't work so I just purchased this kit. Can I use this shortly after using a bleach based cleaner? As in a couple of weeks?

    I have a pressure treated swingset that I've used CWF-UV Redwood on for years. I want to change it over to a lighter color using TWP. Will the Restore-a-Deck product work - what do I need?

          This coating cannot be stripped as it is too thick, like an opaque stain. The only way to get it down to the bare wood would be to sand it off.

    I live on the Chesapeake Bay and I have a deck that wraps around my house minus one side. The deck in the back is probably 5-8yrs old and has never been stained. The deck on the side and front I had built about 1-1/2 yrs ago. I am now ready to stain the entire deck. I have about 1500 sf of deck. I plan on using the Restore-A-Deck first and then sanding the deck (80 grit). A few questions 1. I just resided my house with vinyl siding; do I have to worry about the Restore-A-Deck damaging the siding with splash back? 2. As a result of where I live should I use the 100 series or 1500 series stain and will two five gallon containers of stain be enough? Should I do the underside of the deck? Any other insight you may have that I may need to consider?

      Do not sand as that can hinder the stain's ability to penetrate properly into the wood. The prep products will not harm the vinyl siding. You will need the TWP 1500 for the VA area. 15 gallons for two coats applied wet on wet. No need to stain the underside.

    I live in Helena, MT and my deck faces East so it gets the sun for about half the day. I want to re-stain it starting in May before it gets hot. My redwood deck is about 2 yrs old and when I built it I stained all of the boards before using them with Olympic Elite Advanced Semi solid redwood natural tone. It is fading and some spots have lost the stain completely. Will I need to use the stripper or is the cleaner good enough before I apply TWP 100 stain?

        Thanks for the quick response. Sorry I didn't ask the first time...Is it also safe for plants and grass surrounding the deck? And I have a koi pond next to the deck. Is it safe for fish if some over-spray or mist from rinsing were to come in contact with the pond? Thanks for your help.

          It is Eco-safe and good if minor overspray or mist.

    Sometime in March or April I'll be staining kiln dried pine barn doors installed in Dec. Will the RAD cleaner scrubbed with brush, pressure washed and brightener application remove any remaining mill glaze?

    I bought a Restore A Deck Two part kit some time ago. I want to use it again because my deck needs to be cleaned and brightened before staining again. The Part 1 Cleaner apparently got damp and is not a solid brick while the Part 2 is still loose granules. Is it possible to buy only the Part1 component?

      Update (late....I kinda forgot). After stabbing the cleaner with a screwdriver I discovered that only the top 3/4" was crusted over. It broke up and dissolved just fine, and I was able to clean and brighten before staining. I've attached a pic of the deck I built 20 years ago, which has been stained with TWP since new...with the exception of a brief time I followed a major consumer mag recommendation and used a semi-transparent that looked like I'd PAINTED the deck. Couldn't wait to strip it off and go back to TWP. I think it still looks pretty good after 20 years!

    my painter used Cetol Dek Finish last year over TWP 100 series and it didn't last 6 months. A a year it is peeling in certain area. What should my next step be besides a new painter?

      You will have to remove it fully by power sanding.

        Can TWP 1500 be applied after sanding or do I need to use the restore a deck kit. Can the 1500 be used on the top of railings? The railings look ok - so, can I apply the 1500 over existing paint. I think he originally used the 100 series. Thanks

          TWP Stains · 10/20/2019
          Use the Restore Kit for final prep after sanding and to prep th rail caps before applying the 1500.

    Will be using the Gemini Restore A Deck kit to prep new wood decking. There is a concrete patio underneath the deck. Do I need to protect the concrete from the cleaner/brightening agent? If so, could you recommend the best type of material for this?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      TWP Stains · 10/16/2019
      No need to protect the concrete. Just rinse well with water when done.

      Best to do both steps the same day.

    We just recently finished installed a new western red cedar fence. The fence was completed about a month ago. Is it really necessary to wait 4 months to stain? Won't weathering the boards diminish the coloration after staining? I really love the bright orangey-red hue that the boards had right after install. I would hate to lose the natural luster of the wood by waiting so long... Also, the weather is changing quickly, so we won't be able to stay again for a long long time if we wait. Probably not until next spring.

    I'm staining a dock on tidal salt water in southeast Florida. Should I use the 100 series or the 1500 series. The dock is 3 years old and has taken a beating from the hot sun. The dock is about 450 sq. ft. How much stain will I need?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      TWP Stains · 10/06/2019
      About 5-gallons for the two coats. Use the 100 Series.
