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

    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!

          No need for the cleaner of stripping.

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

    on my deck I have cape code gray which is pretty worn in places but under the roof looks pretty solid can I just use restore and brighten kit on it before I re stain it with one of your other stains. Thanks

    Will this remove mccloskey marine spar varnish on porch/steps?

      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?

    Does this stripper affect shingles if it gets on them?

    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.
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      TWP Stains · 08/27/2022
      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.

    My log cabin was originally treated with Outlast Q8 and I want to use your 1500 series product. I have a green standing seam metal roof. Will your cleaner/brightly harm the metal roof as it’s rinsed off?

      It should not but always test spot first.

    I used 1516 Rustic stain about three years ago and have a half-gallon left. Is there a shelf-life to worry about? Can I mix and use it with a new gallon of 1516?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      TWP Stains · 07/29/2022
      It has most likely gone bad as the shelf life is about 12 months after being opened.

    We have wrought iron balusters.  Do I need to do anything to protect them when using the RAD stripper and brightener on the railings?
    • We will reply to your comment shortly
      TWP Stains · 07/26/2022
      We would keep the products off them or at least test spot first to make sure there is not a reaction.

    My dogs pee on my cedar deck that I have stained with your 1500 product. I am about to strip and re-stain. Do you have any products or tips to protect against urine eating through the stain/finish?

    First - love TWP. I stripped sanded brightened my Deck railings and very happy with result. Builder used some terrible product that was a pain to get the thick peeling railing down to bare wood. Now maintenance should be easy. See first Picture. Thank you for all the useful posts.
    Second- my house was built and stained in 2017. The areas exposed to the elements need redo as it has weathered and is dry. Unfortunately, i do not know the product used. I believe the siding is pine and rough cut. I DREAD the process of strip and brighten ( sanding out of the question). Any suggestions would be helpful and appreciated. See pictures of weathered front and o e in a protected portion of house. Thanks again

    My deck is right on the size limit of what this product will treat. Is there one of the items I am likely to need more of? Stripper? Brightener? This is an old deck with your stain on it and we are going to restain. :)

      What is the sq footage and can you post pictures of the deck here in the comments?
