Gemini Restore-A-Deck Kit

Ken Flowers:

I have a 25 year old pressure treated deck. It has been treated sometime in the past, but not in a long time and I'm not sure with what. I've already cleaned it with bleach and a pressure washer. Some of the old stain or sealer remains. I live in Alabama. Assuming I want to go forward with TWP, how do you suggest I proceed now and which TWP would be best?
Thanks

Since you have some old stain remaining you should use the Restore A Deck Stripper and pressure washing to remove. Use the brightener after you strip off the old stain.

I need to purchase Gemini Restore a deck cleaner-step 1 only. Still have on hand the brightener, step 2. Can I purchase the cleaner only?

Sorry but we do not sell the cleaner only for the Gemini Step 1 Cleaner.

I am staining a fence over grass. Will this product kill grass?

This cleaner kit will not kill grass. The TWP stain will.

I have a pergola that is bare wood, but had been exposed to Ohio elements (sun and snow) for 1 year. The wood still looks pretty good, but you can see some minor dark streaking, probably from algae/mold. Should I use the Restore-A-Deck or would something else be better to prep for staining with the TWP 1500?

I applied the 100 series on my cedar deck 2 years ago. Very happy with it and it looked great. It still displays the full cedar color (no grey) but this spring it looks dull. Would I require a full Gemini kit or would a light power wash and a top coat of the 100 work?

Since it has been two years it would be best to prep with the Gemini Kit while lightly pressure washing.

Is this product oil or water base. I have a 20 yr old cedar deck. still in good shape, but has been neglected the last 5 yr. No stain or sealer has been applied. What would you recommend?

You are asking about the cleaner and this is a powder. The TWP stains are oil based if that is what you meant.

Pressured treat fine deck which was sanded to bare wood will be treated with 1500 dark oak stain. Will I need 1 or 2 coats for 875 sq. ft. and how many gallons?
Thanks

You should use the kit to prep the wood after the sanding. This will remove any sand dust and help the stain to penetrate deeper. Only one coat this time as two coats may not soak in properly after heavy sanding. You will need about 5-6 gallons for one coat.

I have recently sanded away all previous Olympic solid stain down to original wood of my pressured treated deck.
Is this okay to apply 1500 dark oak now?
Since it is fresh wood what would the Gemeni Restore kit accomplish?

Thanks

we built a gazebo next to our pool last year, after 4 months of exposure part of the deck had to be replaced, so now we have two colors of decking.. we are getting ready to stain the deck with your twp 1500 stain but will clean with restore a deck...do you think the gemini cleaner will make the deck boards the same color? any suggestions?

As long as the wood is the same type and grade it should all clean up and look the same.

Hello. I have previously calculated 2181 Sq Feet on our 2 level deck / railing. I also have a playgroun that may need to restored; the tree house part is wood. The rest is metal.
Thanks for any help in calculating how many Gemini restore a deck kits that I may need.

For 2182 sq, feet you would need 3 of the Gemini Restore Kits. Thanks!
