Great stripper for prepping. The brightener restores wood grain and color.

    I first stained my deck with TWP100 in 2017 and have been applying a maintenance coat every other year since then...so in 2019 and then 2021.  Between maintenance coats I have also applied the Gemini restorer and brightener. 

    This year I had planned to apply another maintenance coat but my question is at what point do I need to strip the old stain and start fresh?  How many years should I continue to do maintenance coats?

    I had planned to use the Restore A Deck Stripper & Brightner today, but overnight we had quite a lot of rain (there was standing water on some of the deck boards). Do I need to let the deck dry before using the stripper & brightener? If so, how long should I wait for the deck to dry?

      You can apply them to a damp deck but not soaking wet.

    How long can you wait to stain after the stripper / brightener process?  I know instructions say to wait 48 hours after brightening but can it wait a few weeks?  And undergo rains without reducing the effects of the brightener as long as it is allowed to dry out again before applying stain?

      Stain within 2 weeks of prep for best results. Rain does not harm the prep.

    Will the Restore-A-Deck Stain Stripper work to remove Behr semi transparent Deck and Siding stain that was used on a deck about 8 years ago.  I want to use the TWP 1500 stain it now.

    The description above says in one place that the RAD stain stripper removes only transparent and semi-transparent stains but in another place it says it also removes semi-solid stains. There seems to be an inconsistency in the description. I have SuperDeck oil based semi-solid stain on my redwood siding. Will the RAD remove it? Also, is this product for decks only or can it be used on redwood siding?

      I can remove semi-solid oil-based stains like the TWP Semi-solid but it may not remove semi-solid water-based stains as those are actually can be fully opaque like a solid stain. Best to post some pics for advice on what to use. It can be used on siding.

    Outdoor steps. Never stained or painted. Looking pretty rough. Going to power wash and then was going to use TWP 101 to protect. Should I do anything else before staining. They don’t have to be pretty I just want them to last.

      You brighten right after stripping. Let dry for 48 hours before staining.

    After RAD stripper & brightener I am now sanding my deck (cedar).  Question: do I have to use brightener again after a thorough sanding or can I proceed with stain?

      Brighten after to open up the wood grain for the stain.

    I have an Ipe deck that has never been stained with anything.  Was built 3 yrs ago and is now greyed.  If I want to bring it back to original and oil it, should I use stripper/brightener or is there a cleaner/brightener that would be better?  Do you have a product recommended for oiling the ipe after cleaning?  I don’t want to add any color, I like the natural color of the ipe.    
    Thanks,

      Clean and brighten for the prep. You must have color for UV protection from graying. Clear will gray naturally in months.

    I have sanded my deck using 80 grit.  Do I need to strip or can I just apply brightener?

    I have a 600 square foot redwood deck that was stained using TWP about 8 to 10 years ago...  Its time to restain the deck. Should I get a kit with both Stripper and brightener and then stain it?  Here's the condition of the deck right now.

      Yes, that would work for prep.

        Thanks for the quick response. Also, we just painted the under framing of the deck with white latex paint. Will either of these products harm that paint?

    Hi, I stained my cedar deck with TWP 101 cedartone two years ago but haven't done anything since (it was brand new then). I would like restain it this spring as there are a few spots that lost their stain and I have a few grease spots from a grill and smoker on the deck.  Do I need to use the stripper/brightener kit or can I just start with the Gemini Restore-A-Deck kit.  I will also be restaining some cedar trim on the house that is next to Diamond-Kote LP Smartsiding.  Will either one of these kits cause issues with this painted LP Smartsiding?  Thanks!

      The best would be the Stripper/Brightener Kit so you have a nice even surface to apply to. They do not remove paint.

        Do I need to use the Restore-A-Deck kit after the stripper/brightener kit or just go directly to staining? Final question: my balusters are a white powder coated aluminum baluster from DekPro...will either one of these kits cause issues with those?  Thanks!

          TWP Stains · 04/11/2023
          No need for the cleaner of stripping.

          Hard to say about the balusters but typically not an issue. Test spot first.

      A deck stain stripper will not remove a varnish. You will need to sand it off.

    I have a painted deck. Want to refinish it to ultimately apply a TWP 1500 series (Black Walnut) or TWP Semi-Solid Stain (Earth). What would be the best process? RAD? pressure wash and sander before applying stain?

      You will need to power sand off a paint if you want to go to a semi-transparent TWP coating. This article has some sanding tips: https://www.deckstainhelp.com/how-to-sand-your-wood-deck/

        I also have a painted deck and am planning to refinish with TWP 1500 series. After power washing and sanding the old paint off, can I go straight to the RAD brightener before applying new stain or do I need to use the stripper and brightener kit?

          TWP Stains · 06/23/2023
          As long as you full remove the old paint you can just clean and brighen after. Do not sand finer than 80 grit.

    Two questions - will this stain vinyl siding if it splashes on, and do I really need to hose off the deck after stripping for a full 15 minutes?  It is a 15x5 farmers porch.

      No, it should not harm vinyl. You pressure wash off the stripper, not hose it off.

    Using the Stripper/Brightener on our pergola that is attached to our house.  So I need to hang plastic to protect the house from these chemicals?  House is painted with Sherwin Williams exterior paint 4 years ago.  Don't want to have to repaint the house.

      The stripper does not remove paint. Prewet and rinse over spray should be suffcient.
