Important Note: Gemini Safe Strip Stain Stripper may not fully remove Solid Color Wood Stains, Paints, Varnishes, and Excessively Over-Applied Acrylic Semi-Transparent and Semi-Solid Coatings. To remove these deck and wood stain types, use the RAD Paint & Solid Stain Stripper

Surface Preparation:

Injecting:

1. Put injector hose into undiluted Injectable Safe-Strip container. Inject desired working area (200-300 sq. ft. recommended). Injector ratio 12:1 or lower.

2. Although Injectable Safe-Strip has little or no dwell time, 5 minutes of product working time is recommended. Pressure wash, working area thoroughly.

Ready-to-use:

1. Pour Injectable Safe-Strip into container. Add 4 parts water (1 gallon makes 5 gallons, 5 gallons makes 25 gallons). Apply liberally to wood surfaces. Best application results are with a Deck Sprayer. After application, always keep working area moist during surface preparation.

2. Once applied you may begin to scrub (NO SCRUBBING NECESSARY WITH USE OF PRESSURE WASHER). When scrubbing applied area, use synthetic, stiff bristle brush; do not use a wire or natural bristle brush.

3. Rinse thoroughly with hose or pressure washer. A pressure washer will show the best results.

* Use caution when using Safe Strip. Wet surfaces will be slippery.

Coverage Rate: Approximately 500-1000 square feet per gallon.

    We are wanting to restain our five year old deck. It has one coat of TWP and two coats of Thompson semi transparent stain.  The deck has just had a roof put over it and is being screened in.  

    Which product is the best for removing the existing stain and does the deck need to be cleaned prior to applying the product?

    Our log home was stained with TWP 1500 when it was built.  We are going to re-stain the home with the same stain, however we have areas of mold on the home.  What's the best cleaner to use to remove this?  Do we have to remove the current stain before we re-stain?  Thank you.

        Thank you for your response.  I did see that, however in reading the directions for it, it stated that "if mold and mildew is present the surface should be cleaned with a solution of 1 part household bleach and 1 part water."  I didn't think you should use bleach and was confused as to if this product removed mold and mildew.  Thank you.

          No need for bleach, use the kit.

    We have a 20 yr old log home that's only had Sikkens Stain on it Cetol1 then Cetol 23+ and then the log and siding 4 years ago.  We been told to get rid of the black staining on the stain that we need to strip it to bare wood.  Will the Gemini work?

    I bought the liquid Gemini Safe Strip at a local store is this the same product as the Step 1 Restore a deck cleaner?  I bought it thinking it was as my left over Restore a deck from a few years ago is probably expired.

          RAD is a cleaner and the safe strip is a stripper.

    Having issues with 100 series cedartone stain applied yesterday (after prepping with cleaner/brightener kit).  Previous stain was TWP, same product/color.  Deck is shiny and still tacky in many areas.  I applied wet on wet, 2 coats, only needed/used 1 gallon for my 280 sf deck (calculator said I would need 3 gallons).  I've read your article about correcting over-application (mineral spirits etc.).  Should I attempt to correct with mineral spirits? Also concerned that it only accepted a gallon of stain. If stripping and restaining is needed I prefer to use safestrip vs RAD stripper - will that work?  Thanks so much!

      You over-applied. Use the mineral spirits to remove as much as you can of the excess stain. You will need to the RAD stripper with both additives to remove. Safe strip will not work here.

        Clairification:  do you recommend I do both or one or the other?  If I'm able to remove shiny/tacky areas with the mineral spirits do I still need to strip and restain?  If I decide to strip do I need to use the mineral spirits first?  Should I be concerned the deck only needed a gallon?  Also, it's still giving off fumes/odors.  If I strip and restain do I need to use the brightener?  It's so great you offer this in the moment guidance, and really awesome to get such timely responses too!!!  THX!

          If you remove the shiny tacky, you do not need to strip. The tacky will go away in a few weeks either way. if you strip, you will not need to use the mineral spirits. You always have to brighten when you strip.

    Getting ready to strip and stain our deck again (it's been about 3 years). We haven't had to strip the railing until this time. The contractor used copper pipe for the balusters. Will the safe strip corrode the copper if it comes in contat?

    I've been staining exterior wood for nearly 30 years, using twp for 25. I'm trying to understand why you are pushing the restore a deck stripper now? The RAD stripper will take paint off windows, gutters and the painted metal spindles, but the safe strip won't even burn your skin unless you leave it on a long time.

      The RAD Stripper does not remove paint. It removes deck stains that are transparent, semi-transparent, or semi-solid. Also, never put your hand in the stripper, it will burn.

      Stripping is needed over cleaning for a variety of reasons. Changing brands of stain, changing colors, if you have build up of TWP over the years, etc.

    Please explain difference between safe strip ( no brightener needed afterwards) and RAD stripper/brightener kit.  I am removing old twp from a deck so I can apply a new twp coat.

      The RAD Stripper is much more effective at removing prior coatings.

    Deck was stained with TWP 1507 Pecan. We have prepared the deck with Olympic deck cleaner. Should we still need to use the stripper and brightener or is this ready for staining? Also, Could you please let us know if railing needs to be stripped before staining? Can I use a darker color to avoid stripping? What are my color options?TIA

    We used Thompson's Water Proofer Plus Clear Wood Protector on a new cedar deck, two years ago.  What product(s) should we prep with?  We will be using 1500 cedartone. 
    Thank you.

    I have used TWP safe strip for several projects. I am needing to buy more, preferably locally. The retailers you have listed do not sell it anymore ( ace hardware/ Kelly more paints/ mungers.) could you please advise where I can purchase this so I don’t have to order over the internet. Oklahoma City area.  Thank you.

    Can I use Safe Strip on a cedar fence coated with some (unknown) clear product back in 2004; then stain with clear TWP100? Or must I use Restore A Deck to strip and prep? Does Safe Strip work on mold/mildew? We have lots of plantings underfoot so more biodegradable prep would be helpful.

      The RAD Stripper is more effective and both are biodegradable. The Safe Strip should work to remove mildew.

    We have a two year old cedar fence, with one coat of clear WoodRX. I like that safe strip can be used in a pressure washer, makes prep much easier. Is this indeed the best step prior to applying 1500 cedarstone?

    We are in the process of purchasing a log cabin in the northern lower peninsula of Michigan. The previous owners fell behind on maintaining the exterior, and there is a significant fungus build up on it (please see pictures). We've had the home inspected, and there does not appear to have any rot. I am considering using the TWP 100 series stain when we eventually get to that point, and I would like to stick with the same manufacturer through the process. Is the Safe Strip product capable of removing the fungus and previous stain? Can it be done at one time, or in two steps (fungus first, then previous stain second)? I do not know if the existing stain is water or oil based.

      The current coating looks like a film forming varnish of some sort. This cannot be stripped. You will have to media blast or power sand it off. Once fully removed, you can then use the TWP.

        @TWPStains - The owner had stated that they had a clear stain applied previously, but she did not remember the brand. I'm thinking something like the Woodguard, perhaps? At this time, I don't have a better close up picture to show. What are some characteristics I should look for in the wood to determine if it is a film forming finish or a stain? If it is a clear stain, then would Safe Strip be able to remove it and the fungus?

          As we mentioned before, this cannot be stripped based on the pictures. It is film-forming. If you can get a close up we can take a look at it but based on what we are seeing so far, you will have to sand or media blast to remove it.

              The coating is on top of the wood. Peeling and the mildew issues you are having.

    We have converted a deck area to a 3 season deck. I did not have the opportunity to remove the stain on the deck prior to the new work being done. To enclose the deck area screen material was placed under the deck joists. Is there a deck stain stripper available that will not damage or corrode screen material?

      Not sure if a stripper will harm it or not. Sorry.
