We will reply to your comment shortly· 05/15/2020I currently have a solid water based exterior wood stain on our old deck. Can you confirm which product I need to use to strip the old stain and get it ready for re-staining? Also, do you have any retailers in Calgary, Canada?

We will reply to your comment shortlyDo you know if Restore a Deck Stripper will penetrate Rustoleum Restore 4X stain? I know Rustoleum Restore 4X has been taken off the market and now I need a product that will penetrate the current Rustoleum Restore 4X stain I presently have on my deck. I tried Wolman Deck Stripper and it didn't penetrate the Restore 4X. I tried sanding but chewed up several sanding belts and the sanding didn't remove sufficient Rustoleum Restore 4X. Thinking about flipping the deck boards and then sanding them and restain the deck.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlySorry but no stripper will remove that product. You have to sand it off or flip/replace the wood.

We will reply to your comment shortlyWill this remove a Cabot semi-transparent deck stain? What about a Cabot semi-solid deck stain?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyNeed pictures.

We will reply to your comment shortly

We will reply to your comment shortlyThat looks opaque or a solid stain. You cannot strip that off completely.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYeah it is darker than what we thought we were getting but it was a semi transparent stain.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyI have a similar question, started with a semi-solid and not what I was looking for so coming back to TWP. If the semi-solid won’t strip off should it be sanded off instead?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYes, correct.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI have exterior post and trim that was stained with twp 3 years ago. It is beginning to turn black with mold. Should I use restore a deck to clean? Is a pressure washer necessary on smaller areas like post and trim?
-
We will reply to your comment shortly
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYes, use the RAD Cleaner Kit for prep. You will need to pressure wash off. Apply another coat of stain when done.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI am re-staining an outdoor patio/pergola that I think used TWP 100 Dark oak ~5 yrs ago. Do I need to use the stripper or just R-A-D? Can I just power wash with water and apply TWP 100?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyUse the Gemini Restore-A-Deck Kit while pressure washing for proper prep when reapplying the same stain and color: https://www.twpstain.com/gemini-s-restore-a-deck-cleaner-and-brightener-kit
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyWhy is the brightener required?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyIt is needed to neutralize the stripper or cleaner and restore the wood to a proper pH balance.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyOnce the stripper has been applied how is it removed? Pressure washer?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyApply and then pressure wash off.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyI have a deck that it wouldn't be possible for me to power wash after using the deck stripper. Is there an alternative solution that you could suggest?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyNo, you need th pressure washer and water for proper removal.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI just stained one side of my log home with 1500 series in dark oak. it came out black. its way too dark. I cleaned and prepped the logs. I still have 2 more sides to go and 7 gallons of stain left. can this be removed? or can I mix my remaining stain to make it lighter? the logs were pretty old and absorbant.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyIt is not possible to lighten it but this product will strip it. Brighten after.

We will reply to your comment shortly
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThat is not Restore-A-Deck Stain on there now. You have Rustoleum Deck Restore and no, no stain stripper will remove this product. You will have to sand this off.

We will reply to your comment shortlyWill this stripper remove Thompson's water seal solid red deck stain? The deck is very old and has uneven planks, power washing will shred it.... any suggestions?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyNo. A deck stain stripper will not remove a solid color deck stain fully. You will need to sand.

We will reply to your comment shortlyWe are hoping to go a little lighter on our deck (atleast on horizontal decking). Attached pictures of results after spraying with 0.1% sodium hypochlorite solution, then powerwashing. Results are not great. The close-up is of the dark boards under the gazebo. I don't know what stain was used. I can only assume it was a SW product based on the number of SW paints/etc that are in the basement from when we bought the house.
Is RAD gonna help and would it make sense to use the additive?-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYes, use the RAD Stripper with both additives. It will turn out much better. Brightener after.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThanks. Given that I'm using the thickener, what dwell time should we allow? Also, Our deck is about 750sqft, right in the middle of the 500-1000sqft coverage this product specs. Any idea which factors would cause it to lean one way or the other? Not sure if I need two sets.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYou should be okay with 1 set. Let dwell for 30-60 minutes. If it starts to dry out, mist it with water to keep it active.

We will reply to your comment shortlyFor old wood that was previously stained with Sikkens do I strip then stain with TWP or do I strip then clean then stain with TWP? Thank you.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyStrip and brighten for prep.
-

We will reply to your comment shortlyI used RAD Stripper over the weekend with booster and thickening. Worked pretty good but have about 1000 sq ft of deck so only made it a little over half way today. I will finish on Wednesday but might need to sand a few areas. At what point do I apply the brightener? I assume after the pressure wash and sanding. How long can I wait to brighten from the original pressure washing? Thank you!
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyBrighten when all is removed. Try to do it as soon as you can.

-
We will reply to your comment shortlyI don't know what is on the garage door. It looks like a semi-transparent stain that is fading in the sun. Do you think Restore-a-Deck will work? This is a photo of the door and a close up.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYes, it should work. Use the Thickening Gel Additive as well. Make sure to use the Step 2 Brightener when done to neutralize.

We will reply to your comment shortlyHow critical is it to wait 48 hours after using the stripper and brightener? Rain is in the forecast for the next two weeks? If I have to wait three weeks for 48 hours of sun will I need to reapplly brightener, or should I just stain within three weeks? I have a cedar deck and am re-applying twp 100.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYou have to wait at least 48 hours after prep, there is no way around this. If you cannot stain within two weeks, you will need to lightly wash and brighten again.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyAfter I use the RAD stripper, rinse and let dry, can I simply re-stain with TWP or are other steps required?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYou need the brightener after the stripper. Wait 48 hours to dry and then stain.
