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

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.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI recently stripped my deck brightened it and restained. It now looks like this. Is there any to fix this. Would another coat help?

We will reply to your comment shortlyLet it cure for a week or two and see if it evens out. Adding more will not fix it.

We will reply to your comment shortlyHello! Question about step 8 with the strip + brightening process. From what I researched, I need to make sure the deck is wet down, add the strip product, need to keep it wet while working on it and then wash it off thoroughly. With this process I will be sanding my deck as well a couple days later. When do I use the brightener? Step 8 says while everything is still wet, apply the brightener to neutralize. I am not suppose to do a zone larger then I can accomplish in 15 min. So am I switching between strip and brightener for each 15 min zone? In a previous comment there was comment that the brightener can be applied after the sanding, which would make the process easier. So would the steps be - I would strip, Rinse really well, allow 2 days to dry, sand, complete the brightener process, allow 2 days to dry, then stain? Thank you for any direction.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyStrip all until done and then brighten all after. If sanding then brightener all after the sanding.

We will reply to your comment shortlyWhat type of sprayer would you recommend for the 1500 series pecan on a deck previously stained with the 100 series pecan?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyMake sure to prep correctly first. As for sprayers, any good quality pump sprayer will work.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyI will be using the stain stripper, with both additives, and then the brightner, my deck stairs are on a paver walkway, will the stripper or additives damage the pavers or is it ok if it gets on them?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyNo they will not harm the pavers.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyOk thanks, and what about the vinyl siding and my windows?
also there are some boards that I replaced last year, and I also replaced the stair case, it’s pressure treated pine, should I hit that with the stripper also so everything is uniform , or is there no need?-
We will reply to your comment shortlyNo. Just rinse everything well when done to remove soap suds and the grime that comes off the deck. You should clean all the wood and brighten after so it is even.

We will reply to your comment shortlyLooking to re-stain our deck again as yearly it has sections where the colour strips away. This is after a good power washing. Do you think it needs a stripper and brightner or just cleanser and prep?
also, I’m in Canada. What colour is best to match in the 200 series. Thanks-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYou have to strip this if using the TWP. Maybe Butternut if you want a brown tone.

We will reply to your comment shortlyIn addition, these photos are after pressure washing this weekend after my last time [ressure washing around three years ago.

We will reply to your comment shortlyStrip what you can with the Restore A Deck Stripper and both additives: https://www.twpstain.com/wood-stain-strippers/rad-stripper-additives
Sand if needed to remove any leftover Behr that cannot be stripped.

We will reply to your comment shortlyGreetings - I am renovating our porch areas (front, rear, and screened in porch) that have been previously treated with Behr Simi-Transparent that was light in color - Will the standard Restore A Deck Stripper/Brightener Kit be enough preparation for re-staining with a semi-transparent stain such as TWP 100 Cedartone 101? Thanks in advance...

We will reply to your comment shortlyIt's not clear from the previous discussions. If I have to replace a few boards on my previously stained redwood deck, can I stain them along with the other boards after using the RAD kit?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYou should let the new boards weather for a few months first.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI moved into a home built in 2005. Deck is about half as old as the house. I power washed deck and it lightened it quite a bit. It is in pretty good shape. They used some sort of semi transparent Olympia stain. Can I just use TWP 100 of a similar color and go right over it now, assuming it’s clean? Or what would you recommend? Thanks
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyNo, if you still have remnants of the Olympic then you need to strip it off with this kit above.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyOk thanks. Also they got so me stain on my vinyl siding. It doesn’t seem to want to come off. Any ideas? Thanks
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyTry a graffiti remover cleaner from your local paint store.

We will reply to your comment shortlyWe had planned to power wash and sand prep this porch prior to staining, then discovered RAD stripper and brightener. Now - we need to know if the stripper and brightener are safe to use around the screens and the composite “fake” wood deck boards and the patio blocks? That is, safe means no damage and no discoloration? All of the porch, with the exception of the deck boards, is cedar.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyIt does not harm composite but you might need to be careful fo the screens of they are made of aluminum.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyWould like to strip and stain this deck with a semi transparent stain, so I need the stronger additive and gel additive? And after stripping it will a semi transparent be able to blend the new wood? I believe the stain on there is a brand called Storm catergory 2
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThat looks like a solid opaque stain. You will probably not be able to strip this fully off the wood. You can strip as much as possible but you will need to sand as well if you want to use the TWP.
