We will reply to your comment shortly· 08/14/2023We 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?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyI 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.

We will reply to your comment shortlyNo. Not the same at all.

We will reply to your comment shortlyHaving 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!
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYou 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.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyClairification: 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!
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyIf 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.

We will reply to your comment shortlyGetting 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?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyIt should not but always test spot first.

-
We will reply to your comment shortlyI'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.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThe 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.

-
We will reply to your comment shortlyPlease 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.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThe RAD Stripper is much more effective at removing prior coatings.

-
We will reply to your comment shortlyDoes wood need to be neutralized with a brightener after using Safe Strip?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyNo, it does not.

We will reply to your comment shortlyDeck 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 will reply to your comment shortlyWe 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.

We will reply to your comment shortlyWill this help remove latex deck paint?

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.
