    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)? here's a link to some pics I took shortly after stripping tonight (sorry it's a little dark). thank you very much,

    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.

    We have a dock and bridge previously stained with super deck. We'd like to use the restore a deck stripper aand apply twp 1500 to both the dock and bridge. Will the stripper hurt our pond and fish?

    It most likely will not hurt them.

    I'm redoing just the railing on my deck (the floor was finished with a solid stain). It was new 4 years ago and finished with Cabot Australian Timber Oil, which was reapplied last year after it was scrubbed with a mild chlorine bleach solution to get much (not all) of the mold and mildew off. It is getting black again. Which of your products should I use, please? Also, the uprights are black metal - will they be affected by the chemicals if I use a pump sprayer? Thank you.

    Stripper kit. Apply the stripper and pressure wash off. Apply the brightener and rinse. As for the spindles, 99% of the time they are not affected, but best to test first.

    Two years ago I applied the Sherwin Williams deck stain product to my lake cabin deck. It has held up well (no flaking). It now appears dirty and old looking. I want to apply the TWP 1500 product to the deck this summer. Do I need to strip the deck first, or, can I just clean it before I put the TWP product on?

    You will need to remove the SW product first before using the TWP.

    I have a log house I plan to seal with TWP
    I am in the process of sanding all the old coating off now. There are small places in the corners that I can not get the sander to (only a few square inches each). Is it OK to soda blast these or will the PH in the soda negatively affect the TWP stain?
    Thanks for the help Dwaine Bohn

    It might be best to go ahead and soda blast but then brighten all the wood after to you have an even pH balance for all the wood.

    Mark chevrier:
    Hi,

    The current coat is Thompson Cedar coat applied to a Trek-cedar deck. Floors are in Trex composite but all the column and ceiling are in cedar.
    - if I use restore a deck, any risks for the Trex (some will fall on it for sure)?
    - The Thompson did not prevent molds on the cedar. I have now a lot of black points on it. It this also remove this?

    Thanks for your help

    The Stripper should not harm the Trex and it does help to remove the mold.

    [b]Deck is 12 years old - used Sikkens about three years ago. cloudy, dark and pealing in areas. which product should I use to strip deck. Power washed and still very inconsistent with removal of stained areas. i have used your transparent stains on another property -- very happy with results. thanks for info Once we have pigment removed and are ready to redo -- what should I use to enhance deck wood and seal? thanks again. deb

    Which Sikkens was it? The SRD that is not shiny or the Cetol that is shiny like a varnish? Makes a huge difference as is if can be stripped or not? The SRD can be removed with the RAD Stain stripper and pressure washing. Neutralize with the brightener after.
