    I 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!

      Brighten when all is removed. Try to do it as soon as you can.

    I 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.

      Yes, it should work. Use the Thickening Gel Additive as well. Make sure to use the Step 2 Brightener when done to neutralize.

    If I add your thickener to your stripper, can the mixture still be sprayed with a pump sprayer?

    How 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.

      You 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.

    After I use the RAD stripper, rinse and let dry, can I simply re-stain with TWP or are other steps required?

      You need the brightener after the stripper. Wait 48 hours to dry and then stain.

    We plan to strip our deck (having used TWP CedarTone stain) every year for the last 6 years as we have some bare parts and some flaking wood. Other parts, that are under cover, are still really good though. Would Restore-A-Deck do the job? And if so, could you tell us when the deck/surrounding area are safe for a dog to be around it? Thanks.

      Yes, the RAD Stripper and pressure washing. Brightener after you are done. The areas around will be fine once you are done and everything dries. Cover delicate plants.

    Will RAD remove Olympic Maximum Stain + Sealant In One-Toner applied 3-4 years ago? Will RAD damage powder coated iron deck rails or adjoining hardier plank siding? Note the one light colored board we flipped 6 months ago due to an unsightly knot on other side.

      It will remove this stain. Apply the stripper and pressure wash off. Rinse well and then apply the RAD Wood Brightener. You should protect the iron railings from both the Stripper and the Brightener. It will not harm the hardy plank.

      it is difficult to remove a newly applied stain and even more so when a semi-solid. Could you post a picture?

          As long as it is a true oil-based stain then it should remove most of it but you will need to use a pressure washer and you may need to strip it 2-3 times to get this off. It looks very thick.

            This is what he used, and he sprayed it on. What would be the best application for the RAD? Can I still spray it on since it will be vertical posts/railings with my house behind it? Thank you!

              You can pump spray on the RAD prep products.

    Trying to find a product to remove old Sherwin Williams Deckscapes solid latex-based stain. Stain was applied approx 8 years ago. Boards on right - sanded with drum + orbital sanders. Boards on left, untouched. As you can see, existing stain is pretty thick. Hoping to use a product to remove and avoid labor intensive sanding. Will this (or any other product) remove the existing stain?

      A deck stain stripper will not remove a solid stain. You will have sand to remove.

    We have a 30 yr. old cedar deck that we have restained several times with a Wolman DuraStain One Coat semitransparent stain. When we replaced some of the boards five years ago, I thought it wise to put a wood preservative on first (that claimed it could be stained over) and now these boards won't hold the stain for more than a season. Will this stripper remove this peeling stain and allow a more porous surface? Thanks

      Sorry but this product cannot be stripped. To fix, you will need to power sand to remove.

      That looks like an acrylic semi-solid stain. Not easy to strip. Use the RAD Stripper and pressure washing to remove as much as possible. Sand if needed to remove the rest. Brighten after full removal. Stain with the TWP 100 Series when prep is done.

    Do I have to use a power washer with this to get rid of old stain? I used the 5 gal Cedar Tone CWF-UV stain from Home Depot to stain my deck a few years ago. Much of it has worn off completely on the vertical surfaces of the deck (and the wood is graying) but plenty of it remains on the horizontal surfaces. I also have an area with some blackish-greenish coloring due to water accumulation. (See pics for all details). I'm thinking of buying the TWP 100 & RAD stripper/brightener 5 gallon combo for this project. Would a garden hose be enough with this stripper, or is a power washer still necessary? My only concern is that I might damage the surface of the wood with the power washer. The lowest PSI I can rent is 1400.

      TWP Stains · 06/13/2018
      Yes, you will need the Stripper/Brightener Kit for this. Apply and pressure wash off. A hose will not get it off. You can rent a 3000 PSI machine. It is only 3000 psi it an inch away from the wood. When you wash you should be 8-12" away from the wood. This will drop the PSI to less than 1/2.

        Do I apply it with a pump spray first, or do I inject it during the pressure washing?

            OK. Thank you. I had one last question. The directions indicate you should wet surrounding vegetation before applying this so I'm going to water the grass around the deck before I apply it. But what about stuff like vinyl siding? Do I need to do anything to protect that?

              TWP Stains · 06/13/2018
              No. Just rinse very well to remove the dirt, etc.

    We have Sikkens Cetol DEK Finish on our deck that has peeled badly. Have sanded most of the old stain off the deck, but where shaded and protected was difficult to completely remove and some remains. Will your stripper remove this (and what product) or do we have to do heavier sanding?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      TWP Stains · 06/12/2018
      The stripper will not remove Sikkens DEK. No stripper will :(

      Heavier sanding will be needed.

    I'm preparing to stain my log home with TWP 1500 and plan to use the RAD products to prep it. I already used bleach to clean off most of the mildew (probably an unnecessary step now that I plan to use the RAD stripper - see attached photo.) Do you have any other or different recommendations?

      The current stain will need to be removed before using the TWP. Do you know what is the brand of stain on there now?

          The RAD Stripper should work on this. Make sure to use the Step 2 brightener when you are done.
