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

We will reply to your comment shortly· 05/01/2019Last summer, I install new deck flooring with with pressure treated deck lumber, and plan on using TWP 1500 for staining this summer. The 2 X 6 trim boards around the edge of the deck are still intact and are stained with a solid brown stain that is probably a few years old. What would you recommend I use to strip and restore the trim? It appears that your stripper does not cover solid stain.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI have a pressure treated deck with two year old Rymar Wood Sealer finish. The Rymar is oil based, unpigmented, and contains parachlorobenzotrflouride and raw linseed oil. Will the Restore-A-Deck stripper remove this?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYes, it will.

We will reply to your comment shortlyWhat is the minimal and maximum amount of time that can be used between the use of the stripper and Brightener
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyIt is best to neutralize the stripper with the brighter as soon as you are done with the stripping.

We will reply to your comment shortlyVery large cedar deck encircles our above-ground aluminum pool. Perimeter of the deck is vinyl fencing. Deck was stained w/ semi-transparent CWF years ago. Started sanding the surface last year but weather in PA didn’t cooperate (very rainy) so I never finished. It’s also impossible to remove stain between the boards. 1. Have you received any feedback on whether your prep products would damage the aluminum pool or vinyl fence? What would I need to do to change to TWP? Buying the products and testing them seems like an expensive way to go.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyAll of the current CWF will need to be removed by stripping and or sanding. Brighten the wood when finished. The prep products should not damage the fence. There may be a color reaction with the aluminum but that would depend on your aluminum, not the prep.

We will reply to your comment shortlyPrepping my garage door, will the Restore-a-deck treatment leave a stain on my gray tiles?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyNo, but make sure to rinse off the dirt and soap residue thoroughly when done.

-
We will reply to your comment shortlyIve not been able to find an answer to whether i can wait a week to stain after using the stripper and brightener
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYes but stain within 2 weeks of prep.

We will reply to your comment shortlyTWP Maintenance application? I used TWP 1500 on my new deck last year. The cedar was weathered over the winter. We used a brightener & then sanded 5 days later and applied TWP at beginning of June when there was no rain in forecast. Deck looked great all summer long. This Spring the deck surface is worn, faded and not repelling water well. Can we reapply another coat over top or will we have to strip, brighten & sand the deck surface Again? I am totally surprised at how the TWP did not hold up after 1 year. If we have to strip we will be using a different product to see if it will hold up better to the elements. TWP has held up well on verticle surfaces but not the horizontal (deck surface).
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyClean and brighten for prep is the proper way to do a maintenance coat.

We will reply to your comment shortlyWe need to treat 5 cedar garage doors (17' x 7'). They were previously stained with a PPG stain product which I believe was water-based. TWP 100 Semi-trans appears to be an appropriate stain to use for longer life. Am I correct in that we should power strip with RAD stripper followed by RAD brightener?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYes, that is correct prep.
-
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyAre 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 shortlyWhat brand and type of stain are you trying to remove? Pictures will help.

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 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.
