1 RAD Stripper and 1 RAD Brightener
Coverage: 750-1000 sq. feet per kit. Each Kit Makes 5 Gallons of Stain Stripper and 5 Gallons of Wood Brightener
Restore-A-Deck Stripper and Remover is the first and only powdered concentrated deck stain stripper that is designed to be injected through a pressure washer. RAD Stain Stripper can be applied with a pump up sprayer as well.
The Restore-A-Deck stripper when injected will remove penetrating transparent and semi-transparent wood decking stain and coatings. Covers 150-200 sq. feet per gallon when injected through a pressure washer.
When applied through a pump sprayer, the RAD stripper is twice as strong and can remove most transparent, semi-transparent, and semi-solid deck stains. Great for removing failed semi-transparent acrylic stains! Covers 100-200 sq. feet when applied with a pump sprayer.
The Restore-A-Deck Stain Stripper needs to be neutralized and this combo kit comes with the Restore-a-Deck Wood Brightener.
Removes:
- Transparent and Semi-Transparent Oil-Based Stains
- Most Semi-Transparent Water-Based Stains
- Water Sealers
* The Restore a Deck Stain Stripper will not remove a Solid Color Deck Stain or Deck Paint that is not transparent.

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

We will reply to your comment shortly· 02/14/2019Are these products safe for use on cedar siding? If not, is there a different TWP product which is? I'm looking to remove the existing stain and possibly apply a lighter color

We will reply to your comment shortlyLast year I used a stain from home depot and now it looks terrible and needs to be stripped. My problem is that this is on my combination deck/dock area and I dont want to contaminate water. so my question is will this product cause a problem with the lake.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyIt should not have an issue with the lake water.

We will reply to your comment shortlyIn the fall of 2015, we built a deck with pressure treated lumber. We allowed the wood to dry for about 90 days before having it professionally stained with TWP oil based Cedartone. After cleaning it last year, I stained it again. The stain does such a good job sealing the wood that water just sits on the deck and over time mold or mildew starts to grow. Is there a product you recommend to retard the growth of mold? In addition, I think I sealed some mold between the two coats. Will I have to use the stripper, power wash and brighten the deck to fix this issue/
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYou will need to strip and brighten for prep and to fix this. I believe some of your issues are due to overapplication. Only apply two light coats wet on wet.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThe professionals did two light coats wet on wet and carefully back brushed everything for both coats. After cleaning I put on one light coat and back brushed it as well. I don't think it was over applied but acknowledge that could be the case. The mold grows on top and is easy to clean with cleaner and a scrub brush. I've cleaned it twice this summer Is there anything you recommend to retard the growth of mold? The deck gets full sun for about 3 hours from 11- 2 PM.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYou are only supposed to apply one coat for new wood. There is not a way to prevent mold from growing on top of a deck stain. Stains can only help to prevent the growth inside the stain.

We will reply to your comment shortlyWill Deck Stain stripper take off 3 year old Thompsons Water Seal? There are still sections that have some color, and some vertical sections that still bead water.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYes, it should. Is it the clear water seal or the stain? The stain is harder to remove.

We will reply to your comment shortlyUsed stripper and brightener on a very large deck. What is the best procedure for sanding? Will rain damage my efforts? Do I rinse with water after sanding, or sweep the area before staining?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyWhy are you sanding? No need to. Rain will not harm the prep.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyDeck is COVERED with “fur”. I’m planned on doing a light sand to remove the fur and stain. While I continue the process on the whole deck, will the wood pores close with time or exposure to rain? Is there anything I should do when I’m ready to stain the whole deck?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyOkay. Use a floor buffer with a sanding pad, not sanding paper. Much easier to remove it this way and leaves the wood porous. Wood pores will not close due to weather but over sanding can create this problem if you sand too fine.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI used stripper and brightener on cedar deck. Product worked great but has revealed a stain that I believe may be petroleum based. Any suggestions to minimize the stain?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyI am not sure what you mean. Please post a picture.

-
We will reply to your comment shortlyLooks like some kind of grease or wax spill. That is deep in the wood grain and cannot be removed with any prep product.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI plan on using a pump sprayer to apply the TWP cleaner and then rinse it with a pressure washer to remove it and then use a pump sprayer to apply the TWP brightner and then rinse with a hose to remove it.
I assume I can (1) let the cleaner dry completely before I remove it with the pressure washer and then (2) let the brightner dry completely before I remove it with the hose.
Need to ask to please let me know if both of my assumptions are correct.
Thanks in advance.
Ed in Georgia-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYou cannot let the cleaner or brightener dry. The cleaner will also need to be pressure washed, not rinsed off.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI used California Redwood 1500 stain five years ago and plan on using the same stain again. After using the Gemini Cleaner and Brightner, parts of the fence still has stain on it from five years ago. Do I have to remove this old stain beforehand or use a stripper to remove it before staining? Thanks!
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyCan you post a picture? It does not have to be completely removed.

We will reply to your comment shortlyWhen to apply RAD Brightener... I have applied RAD Stripper(Friday 5/25/18 very happy with it), and now in the process of sanding a 900 sq foot by hand which will take me about another week to finish doing it solo. Question I have is when should I apply the Brightener, or do I have to apply another cleaner and then the brightener after sanding, which will be about 14 days after I stripped the deck..
Thanks-
We will reply to your comment shortlyJust apply the brightener after the sanding and light pressure rinse.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyAre you able to just spray this on and power wash it off? Does it harm window and metal frames?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYes but you will need to be perpendicular to the wood and about 6-10 inches away. Might want to rent a lift as ladders and pressure washers with slippery soap is not a good idea.
Hard to say for certain on the windows. 99% of the time there are no issues.

We will reply to your comment shortlyHello, for this you will need the Restore A Deck Stripper/Brightener Kit for the prep.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI've bought a cabin and want to stain with 1500 series. I don't know what has been put on it in past so what prep should do to prepare for staining?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyDo you have a picture? It would help to determine the proper prep.

We will reply to your comment shortlyThe Defy extreme is a water based stain by the way. Thanks again, Amado
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyUse the RAD Stripper and pressure washing to remove. Brighten all after.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyI plan on using TWP 1516 on a 1 year old deck. Currently the deck has Defy Extreme on it, and after a year, it has faded and lost its water repellent qualities. Should I use the stripper or the cleaner to remove it, before applying the TWP stain?
Thanks,
Amado -
We will reply to your comment shortlyAfter a year of seasoning, I plan to apply TWP to two buildings which are sided with steel on top and pressure treated wood on the bottom. Two questions:
1. Would you recommend using the RAD Stripper this time, or just the RAD Brightener?
2. Is there any risk of corroding the steel with the RAD products?-
We will reply to your comment shortlyHello, I am not seeing any natural/unstained wood in your picture. Looks painted green and taupe. TWP can only be applied to unstained/not painted wood. Please elaborate as to where you plan on applying and the wood current condition.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThe pressure treated wood is on the bottom half of the barn sides and rear, and also the bottom sides and rear of the small run-in building behind it. This wood is obscured a bit by the paddock fence (which will also receive TWP this year!) so I'm posting a photo of the run-in before it was placed in the paddock. Thanks!
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyOkay. For the prep you need to cleaner and the brightener kit, not the stripper: https://www.twpstain.com/gemini-s-restore-a-deck-cleaner-and-brightener-kit
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyWhat about metal corrosion? Are there any risks of using the brightener/cleaner around metal?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyIt should not have an issue but always best to test a small spot first to be certain.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI'm presuming the wood brightener is the same product that comes with the stripper pkg and the Gemini wood cleaner pkg. I have an enclosed deck that's partially stained. I'm guessing to re-stain the deck I should do the following:
Strip the stained areas using the stripper
Apply wood cleaner to the unstained areas
Apply wood brightener to the entire deck to neutralize the wood in prep for restaining
Is this the correct procedure or would you recommend a different approach?
Thanks,
Dave-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYour approach is correct.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI do not want to have to stain every year

We will reply to your comment shortlyOn vertical wood like a fence, the TWP should last 3-6 years depending on the UV exposure.

We will reply to your comment shortlyTrying to decide if TWP will last as long as paint
