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.

We will reply to your comment shortlyNo, you have to sand to remove a paint.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI 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.

We will reply to your comment shortlyWe only sell online.

We will reply to your comment shortlyCan 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.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThe RAD Stripper is more effective and both are biodegradable. The Safe Strip should work to remove mildew.

We will reply to your comment shortlyWe 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 will reply to your comment shortlyTeh Safe Strip will probably not remove the WoodRX. Best to use the Restore A Deck Stripper Kit: https://www.twpstain.com/restore-a-deck-stripper-brightener-kit-detail

We will reply to your comment shortlyWe 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.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThe 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.
-
We will reply to your comment shortly@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?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyAs 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.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyWhat are the characteristics to look for between film-forming and non film-forming?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThe coating is on top of the wood. Peeling and the mildew issues you are having.

We will reply to your comment shortlyWe 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?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyNot sure if a stripper will harm it or not. Sorry.

We will reply to your comment shortlyWill this take paint off of side of house or trim of house? I have a deck 14' in air and surrounded by a painted band and 4 painted columns
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyNo, it does not remove paint.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyGreat!! Will I need the same amount of TWP stain I used when the deck was new and never stained? It is pressure treated wood
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYes, that is correct.

We will reply to your comment shortlyhave used sikkens srd for 20 + yrs but need to remove a few stubborn built up spots. recommend rad stripper/booster or safe strip?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyDo you have pictures?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyno, but spots are only against the house maybe 3 inches in size, definitely less than 5% of entire deck.

We will reply to your comment shortlyNeed pics to determine if a stripper will work or not.

We will reply to your comment shortlyHi - I need to restain our pergola (the same color) . . . it's been 10+ years. TWP was the original product used - no sure of series or color. Please provide direction on preparation and product. I like the way the original looks, just needs to be refreshed. I think it is cedar.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyLooks like Rustic color. Prep first with this kit and pressure washing: https://www.twpstain.com/gemini-s-restore-a-deck-cleaner-and-brightener-kit
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyexcellent - thank you. 2 follow up questions:
1. On the cleaner, do you recommend spraying on and then powerwashing off? or adding the cleaner to the power washer?
2. On the product - do you recommend TWP 1500 or 100 series?-
We will reply to your comment shortly1. Apply and then pressure wash off. Cannot be applied with a pressure washer.
2. TWP 1500.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI need to re-stain my log home that I bought a few years ago but don't have the details on what was put on the logs. I've attached some pictures.
Can you help me:
1. Strip off what is there currently
2. Recommend a product to stain the logs with-
We will reply to your comment shortlyUnfortunately what you have on there looks to be a semi-solid to solid stain and that means it cannot be fully stripped. You might need to media blast to remove. Once done, use the TWP 1500 Series.

We will reply to your comment shortlyI stained my deck last night with two 100 dark oak. It rained about 7 hours after and now I have a lot of dark running spots down the vertical sides of my steps as well as a few lighter areas that seemed like they didn’t take up any stain. Should I clean with a power washer and re apply after letting the stain dry? Should I clean, sand, and re apply. Or should I use a stripper and start over. Deck is pine and approximately 12 months old
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyPost a picture of the stain after it fully dries from the rain water.

We will reply to your comment shortlyAs you can see. I have a multitude of issues. Hardly any stain in some areas. Running stain in others.(some of this may have been poor application) And water spots from the rain!!! Please help me proceed:(
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYou should remove all stain and start over. Your best option for this is the RAD Stripper: https://www.twpstain.com/restore-a-deck-stripper-brightener-kit-detail

We will reply to your comment shortlyI have TWP 120 on cedar siding. Mildew appearing so need to apply new water based stain because oil based no longer available in Maryland. Tried a cleaner with recommended sodium metasulfate to strip but that didn’t work well. Will this product strip the TWP 120 and how best to apply?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyOil-based is allowed in MD as long as VOC compliant. The TWP 1520 Pecan is oil-based and allowed there.
Use this to strip the TWP 120. https://www.twpstain.com/restore-a-deck-stripper-brightener-kit-detail

We will reply to your comment shortlyI cannot even find the container (mom's caregivers moved everything) but I am pretty sure just 3 years ago I used cedar colored Thompson's stain on my new cedar grape arbor. It is starting to fade, and is really odd color now. Um, I am not going to be able to sand this, it has grapes growing over it. Any suggestions?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyIt has to come off if you want to use TWP and that would entail sanding for this product. It will not strip off.
