    Build deck 2 years ago with Cedar. Prepped and stained last year for the first time with cedartone 101 stain. We already have peeling. I want to redo it this year with something a little more brown in color instead of the orangish it currently is. I think Pecan is my best choice. Do I need to strip all the original stain off or can I go over the top? Any other prep work suggested?

    Clean and prep with the Gemini Restore kit and add one coat of the TWP Pecan. Do not over apply as that is why it may have peeled.

    My cedar deck is almost 20 years old and has never been stained. I have 1/4" wide by 1/4" deep cracks in some of the wood. Should or could I fill in these cracks before applying TWP 100? Located in SW Missouri. Any advice would be appreciated.

    Crack filler will not work for outside wood and the TWP will not stain/color the filler. Do not use the filler.

    Our deck is approx. 16x25 and not covered, about 10 years old made of pressure treated wood. Initially used a semi-transparent stain. 2 years later re-did it. Not satisfied with the results, and 2 years ago used Cabot solid stain and still looked crappy, but after the brutal winter this year, is flaking and peeling. Time to re-do it, but unsure what product to use that will last.

    You cannot use TWP on top of other stains or solid stains. You will need to remove the Cabot first by sanding all of it off. Once removed you can use the TWP after prepping with the Gemini Restore Kit.

    My PTP deck was built last summer and I stained it using tinted Thompson's Water Seal. This spring there was a lot of mold/mildew and the stain was chipping and peeling up in several areas. I used a stain stripper and brightener that removed about 90% of the stain. There were still stubborn areas of stain that would not come up even after repeated applications of the stripper. I sanded the remaining spots to remove the stain and also did a light sanding over the entire deck. What do I need to do to prep the deck for TWP 100 stain? Will power washing the deck be sufficient or do I need to use a deck wash and brightener again?

    It would help to use a deck cleaner and brightener with the pressure washing to help aid the TWP in this. It will absorb deeper into the wood grain.

    I just stained my swing frame I built out of Pecky Cypress. This was new wood dried, and plained smooth. Should I put a second coat? If so how soon should this be done?

    No, only 1 coat on new wood. did you let it weather for 4+ months and prep correctly first?

    My cedar deck floor is approximately 6 years old. Deck is on the north side of the house. Currently finished with Sikkens and most recent coat was applied 3 years ago. The finish is lightly peeling where exposed to the sun. And has black edges due to improper application of the Sikkens product by the painters. Parts not exposed to the sun look good, except for darkening due to application. We are avid gardeners and do not want to use a caustic stripper on the deck, and it is my understanding that stripping would not be successful on Sikkens anyway. It have been told that a complete sanding will be necessary. I have read that you do not advise sanding decks before using TWP. Please advise the best course of action given the previous application of Sikkens and extensive landscaping and a brick patio around the deck.

    If you do not want to stripper than you will need to sand as you cannot apply TWP on the Sikkens.

    We have a 8 year old cedar deck that is in the process of being sanded to bare wood to re stain. After the sanding is complete, can I immediately use your product or should I wait for a period of time.

    After sanding use the Gemini Restore Kit for the prep and you can stain after that.

    I feel like I am being mis-informed continually by others. I was told to sand then to not sand now. I am kind of pissed off that the sikkens cedar place I bought the wood from that I was told prior was the best and would work yet has created more of a mess. So if I use the stripper and brightener. Then I should be ready to re-apply TWP 100 within a couple of days maybe? Then am I doing two coats wet on wet? Thanks for your help in this and if you know of specific stripper or brightener that would help otherwise I may run into another expert that could mis-inform me again. Thanks

    The SRD can be stripped with the RAD Stripper we sell. It can be a little stubborn but it will come off. Sand only as a last resort in our opinion. Yes apply two light coats wet on wet after drying for a couple of days or so.
