    We have a second story deck. Will this stuff mess up concrete below the deck on the first floor? What about left over product? Will there be a lot of left over junk from the process below the deck? Our kids use the patio under the deck every single day. Is this safe? Does the house on the first floor also need to be protected?

      Wondering if you did this yet...we have the same situation and I want to seal the stamped concrete under our deck after the deck is done. Any recommendations are welcomed! Thanks

      The stripper and brightener will not harm the concrete. You will need to rinse the house and patio below the deck to remove the dirt and old stain that was removed from the deck above. Once everything dries, it is okay to use the area.

    We have stripped the old stain a section at a time after work. Is it too late or worth the effort to brighten the next day after deck is dry?

      You should still apply the brightener even a day or two later.

    Hello, I hope this isn't a redundant question....so many comments....If I am to sand, do I strip, let dry, sand then brighten?
    Sanding is for any wood greying or removing whatever troubles that arise during or after stripping.
    Thanks

    Am I clear on this? I mix RAD stripper with brightner, spray on with power washer at the same time. What mixture of RAD and brightner do I use per 5 gallons of RAD. I plan on using TWP 1500 stain to finish job. What color of TWP do you recommend to replace Superdeck 7100 amberhue for the longest life?
    Thanks for your help.

    The stripper and brightener are not mixed together. They are two separate steps. If you click the pictures on the products you will see the instructions.

    Not sure on the super deck color as we do not sell their brand.

    Hi, I applied Thompson Water Seal to my DF deck boards. Will this remove the sealer and also allow me to install the 1500 series?
    Also what is the natural color? Is it actually a clear or is there a tint to it?

    Yes, it will remove the Thompsons. Natural is tinted, not clear.

    I see that I need a powerwasher to use the Restore-a-Deck stripper. What PSI do I need to do the job? My deck is ipea wood and I am trying to remove the old ipea oil that was used when it was installed.

    Best to wash at about 1500-2000 psi.

    After using the stripper and rinsing with power washer, how long can you wait to use the brighter to neutralize it?

    Apply the brightener right away while the wood is wet.

    Just finished stripping our ipe deck with RAD Stripper, a week early had cleaned it with powerwasher to remove grey aged layer. after Stripper, it seemed to help some but wood still appears dark with some irregular spots. Could someone tell me what successfullly-stripped ipe should look like (either wet of dry)?
    first shot is wet wood last night, others are dry pics this morning.[/quote]
    Did you use a pressure washer after applying the stripper? Did you neutralize the stripper with the brightener? if not you will need to restrip/pressure wash and apply the brightener after.

    I scrubbed with brush and pressure washed after applying stripper. It helped but there are still spots with uneven darker and lighter patches, etc. not sure why pics aren't loading. thank you.

    Don Meyer:
    Hello,
    I have a 25 year old deck that has been coated every few years with Behr oil based semi transparent stain redwood in color. The product is no longer available. Do I have to strip or sand this deck to use your product? The deck is a rougher cedar and sanding would almost be impossible. I also replaced some post and railing and used some left over stain from a few years ago and then went to Home Depot to get more and surprise they don't carry it anymore!! So I have a combo on new wood, some just stained for the first time and 25 year old deck boards!! Thanks for any help! I'm in Colorado.

    Strip and possibly sand to remove all of the Behr. It does have to come off to use the TWP.

    We have a 25 year old pressure treated deck that we had sanded two years ago. We need to remove the solid stain from the risers, railing, ... and get the grey wood off the deck surface. Will your cleaner do that? Is it oxalic acid? Is your 100 series stain appropriate for our situation? Wife wants gray stain. We live in CT.

    Hello, the cleaner will remove the gray but cleaners and stain stripper will remove a solid color stain from a deck. You will need to sand off a solid stain. The 100 Series is not allowed in CT. Once prepped correctly, try the Driftwood Gray by Armstrong Clark.
