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

We will reply to your comment shortly· 11/07/2020My weather forecast changed. I just finished stripping and brightening my entire porch. But now there is a forecast of rain for the next 5 days. How long can I leave the porch in this condition before I put the stain on, I know I need to have 2 days for it to dry.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI just stained 66' of a 130 ft 1 yr old fence with cedar tone top 100. It turned out oranger than we had hoped. We would like something a little more dark brown, maybe pecan or dark oak? If I want to restain the newly stained fence, how do I need to treat/strip it first?

We will reply to your comment shortlyI have a cedar deck (In all shade from trees) that is partially covered. In the past I have waited 3 years, washed and scrubbed it with just water and a stiff brush and recoated it with more TWP cedartone. But the part that is under the roof cover would remain sticky and I’d have to wipe off excess and it would eventually dry. What should I use to clean this deck now so I can reapply more TWP cedartone.
would the Restrore-a-deck kit, cleaner and brightener be enough? Should I also get the stripper to do just the part that’s covered or the entire deck?
I will try to add pictures.-
We will reply to your comment shortlyUse the RAD Stripper and Brightener Kit for all.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI have a 30 year old cedar shadowbox fence that was last power washed and stained with TWP Cedartone about 8 years ago. I used to keep up with the cleaning and staining but have neglected it for years. Last fall I cleaned it with Scotts Outdoor Cleaner with OxiClean. The fence isn't in good shape but I'd like to improve the appearance of it and stain it again. I think it's too fragile for power washing, and it's not easy to get in-between the boards. I've read all of your advice for people with decks and am wondering what you recommend for my fence.

We will reply to your comment shortlyDo we need the brightener and or cleaner?
We have a 1300 sf 18 year old cedar deck. We just cleaned it with simple green deck and fence cleaner using a hose, brush, bucket, power washer.
The deck is in Northern Wisconsin, with about 50% sunlight per day.
Our plan is to use the 1500 rustic stain.
We have one section where a would box sat, which has the old stain. What would be the best to clean that section.
We will also be doing the railings, do we need to strip them first, or will the darker rustic stain cover them without issue.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thank you

We will reply to your comment shortlyIt would be best to strip and brighten all wood, including the floors: https://www.twpstain.com/restore-a-deck-stripper-brightener-kit-detail
This will ensure an even application.

We will reply to your comment shortlyCedar deck, applied stripper and pressure washed then brightened the same day, let it dry, and wasn't happy with the results (said semi-transparent but was more of a semi-solid). I then ended up sanding off with 60 grit. I have some brightener left over, can I just reapply the brightener and let it dry, then stain in 48 hrs or should I use the Gemini cleaning/brightener instead, let it dry, then stain? Thanks!
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYou should be fine to brighten and then sain 48 hours later as ling as the wood is clean and dry.

We will reply to your comment shortlyCan I use stripper than use cleaner and brightener like 5 days later or does it need to be done quick?Got rain in forecast so want to strip first get ahead.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyStrip and brighten on the same day. No need to use the cleaner if you are stripping.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI applied twp stain (1501 cedartone) to cedar deck boards and railings 2+ years ago. High traffic areas are showing silvery indicating loss of protectant. Can I strip remaining and reapply or is sanding required? Do you recommend additives for the vertical ballisters?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyStrip and brighten all the wood. Use the Gel additive: https://www.twpstain.com/restore-a-deck-thickening-gel-additive-detail
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThanks. When I stained deck first time, I purchased a 5gal pail of the 1501. I estimate there are 1-2 gal remaining. The pail has been sitting in basement with original lid sealed for ~3 years. Does stain "expire", or if I mix it up thoroughly will it still be good for use? Was thinking to order 1 gal of new stain, mix with remainder in pail, and use that to restain the wood. Thoughts / concerns?

We will reply to your comment shortlyI don't understand the need for Restore-A-Deck kit and thickening gel and booster. Thank you

We will reply to your comment shortlyDo you recommend the Restore-A-Deck Stripper/Brightner kit or Gemini Restore-A-Deck kit for preparing a deck? I have a cedar deck that has been stained multiple years ago (unknown amount of time). Plan is to use TWP 100.

We will reply to your comment shortlyPost a picture of the current condition.

We will reply to your comment shortlySure, here you go. One of the front deck (March this year) and one of the back (April this year). Not the best shots but what I have now.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYou will have to strip this and use both stripper additives as well: https://www.twpstain.com/wood-stain-strippers/rad-stripper-additives
Brightener last.-
We will reply to your comment shortlyPerfect, thanks! I have ~1300 sqft of deck surface. I believe I need 2x Restore-A-Deck Stripper/Brightener kit + 2x thickening gel + 2x booster. Can you confirm? Really appreciate the quick responses. Last question, what is the order to ship timeline?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYes on the prep quantity. About 10-5 gallons of the TWP stain. Shipping is about 1-2 weeks currently.

We will reply to your comment shortlyHere are a couple pics of the western red cedar deck. Will the galvanized hog wire panels be okay if i decide to use the stripper and cleaner? Is sanding the deck an option?(would rather not)
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyUse the RAD Stripper/Brightener Kit first. Sand only if needed after. Should not harm the wire.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI built a western red cedar deck here in Oregon last fall. It sat through the winter so I used Oxyclean to clean it before staining. I used Cabot alaskan timber oil "natural" semi trans stain. It now looks kinda like a Mango. Has an orange/yellow tint. Very dis satisfied with the Cabot product. I now would like to remove that stain and use TWP. I considered sanding the whole deck and railing.. Any suggestions?

We will reply to your comment shortlyHi I have TWP1011 on my deck (2017). I started to clean (soap and water) and was hoping to reapply stain. Now that I look at it I wonder if I need to strip and brighten before I apply stain? What do you recommend based on the picture? Thanks in advance.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyStrip and brighten with this kit above.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyHow often will I have to strip, brighten and stain?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyIf using 1500 series, you'll never have to strip again. For re-coats I pressure wash and after drying apply 1 wet on wet coat of 1500. After 30 minutes wipe off any excess. Ive completed over 3,000 deck in the past 35 years w/ TWP.

We will reply to your comment shortlyEvery 2-3 years.

We will reply to your comment shortlyIf I did my deck last spring, replaced a ton of boards, used the Restore-A-Deck Stripper and Brightener, and I want to do another coat of stain this Spring, do I need to use the stripper and brightener again? Thanks.

We will reply to your comment shortlyNo, just cleaner for prep.
