Gemini Restore-A-Deck Kit

Can you point me to any videos that show the best way to use the restore-a-deck products? I've checked Youtube and have not been able to locate anything that is very helpful. Do you have any videos on this website? If not that would be a great thing to add. Thanks.

Will it harm composite decking?

We just used Gemini restore deck cleaner and brightner on our new deck that we built in February in preparation to stain with twp 101. The wood looks like it got eaten away. There was shreds of wood coming off when rinsing. IS that normal?

I built my deck last year in July with pressure treated pine wood and want to stain it this spring. Is TWP 200 the right product? Do I have to prep with the Restore-a-Deck kit although the deck is pretty new and clean?

I bought the 1501 stain and the Restore-A-Deck (RAD) kit. However, the 1501 can only mentions a bleach solution wash. Should I use BOTH a bleach wash AND the RAD prep? If yes, which one should be done first? If no, which one is better for first-time prep of newly sanded old (Douglas Fir) wood?

I recently used the 2 step restore a deck & TWP 101 stain on my deck. I just added a deck skirt using 1x6 kiln dried pt wood. When I apply the cleaner/brightner to the skirt do I need to make sure it doesn't get on the recently stained deck?

New cedar deck put in August 2017 (Chicago area). It was not stained and now I'm getting ready to stain it. Do I use the cleaner and then the brightener? Or just the cleaner?

My red cedar deck was installed in the Fall of 2017. I live in Indiana, I waited until this Spring 2018 to stain. I decided to use the Gemini clean and brightener with the 1500 series stain. After I used the cleaner and brightener the wood had white splotchy areas. Will repeating the 2 step process remove the white areas? It looks good when it is "wet". How long should I wait before I repeat the process?

In the spring of 2015 (3 years ago) I installed my 6' cedar privacy fence in Minnesota. I did not pressure wash and stain during that summer and have been dragging my feet ever since. I have started to pressure wash my fence and it is cleaning up very well, in preparation to start staining. I have purchased the TWP 100 Series (101 cedartone). My question is - since I'm applying the stain for the first time ever on this 3 year old fence after pressure washing, do I need to use any cleaners/wood brightener prior to staining? I have included a picture of my fence (right side has been pressure washed, left side has not)

i stained my deck with twp 1501 2 or 3 years ago. should i clean and brighten before re-staining?

I stripped,cleaned and brightened and stained my deck last year it has faded somewhat I just want to freshen up color with water proof should I just use the brighter or just power wash lightly and restain

The prep work is done on my cedar deck (via Restore-a-Deck Steps 1 and 2) and I'm ready to stain. My only remaining question is about timing. I plan to apply a single coat of 1500 Series stain this year (not two coats, wet-on-wet). I am assuming i need to let the deck dry for 48 hours after Step 2 OR 48 hours after a rain shower, whichever comes last. I'm also assuming I need to apply the stain when there is no risk of rain for the next 48 hours. That means I need a window of 96 hours without rain. Is this a good assumption? My deck is on the west side of the house. It's in total shade until noon and total sunshine from noon to sunset. There are no trees, roof overhangs, pergolas or anything else. The deck is raised off the ground and air circulation is excellent. Are my assumptions of 48 hours before and 48 hours after staining good ones?

What should i do with my under an oak deck that is getting too much sap from tne tree? I already cleaned it and ready to apply the twp, but wonder if it will last. Any additive to help the twp 502i?

My deck attaches to the second story of my painted hardy backer sided home. Will this harm the paint? ie: leave streaks or cause it to lift? It will be running down the painted wall of the first story.

The picture is one piece of wood cleaned, power washed, then brightened. The other piece is cleaned and brightened with low wash. Was stained 2 years ago with TWP. Is my problem with the one piece just not power washed hard enough or do I need to strip wood?

my cedar deck is completely surrounded by brick pavers. Will the restore-a-deck harm the pavers or degrade the paver grout.

Strands of wood.

Hi! I stained new cedar deck 2 years ago with TWP 103 Dark Oak. I’m going to reapply stain so I purchased Gemini cleaner and brighter. I used a power wash after cleaner. Am I not using enough pressure or should the old stain stay on as much as it is? I’m afraid to etch the wood. If not enough pressure, can I repeat the cleaning/brightening steps right away? There is a lot of wood strands on the wood still.

Used a the part one and two system. Waited the 48hr for drying. Question is it seemed to leave some water stains, will the stains show through after it is stained? Does it need to be clean again?

I have applied Step 1 (the cleaner) to my cedar deck. The wood appears much cleaner while wet but the deck is covered in a light, blotchy white deposit when everything drys. Will Step 2 (the brightener) remove this deposit or must I repeat Step 1 before using the brightener?
