Will it strip old redwood colored paint when applied with pressure washer? (sorry for the repeat)
1 RAD Stripper and 1 RAD Brightener
Coverage: 500-1000 sq. feet per kit. Each Kit Makes 5 Gallons of Stain Stripper and 5 Gallons of Wood Brightener
Restore-A-Deck Stain Stripper is the only concentrated powdered wood stain stripper that is specifically designed to be injected through a pressure washer. RAD Stripper may also be applied using a garden type sprayer.
The R-A-D Stain Remover, when injected using a pressure washer, can remove penetrating transparent stains as well as semi-transparent wood coatings.
When RAD Wood Stain Stripper is applied using a pump-up sprayer, it is twice as potent and able to remove most transparent, semi-transparent and even semi-solid wood stains. It is also excellent for getting rid of failed semi-transparent acrylic stains. Coverage rates when applied with a pump sprayer are 100-200 sq. ft per gallon.
After using Restore-A-Deck Injectable Stain Stripper, the wood needs to be neutralized with the RAD Step 2 Brightener.

Use the Restore A Deck Stripper kit for removal of old transparent and semi-transparent coatings.

We will reply to your comment shortlyIm using rad to restore a 600sqft ipe deck, and am wondering whats the best way to do this without it drying in between stripper and brightener? Should i do it in sections from start to finish?

We will reply to your comment shortlyMahogany wood, was stained with Armstrong-Clark Mahogany stain 2 years ago. What prep do I need to do before re-applying another coat? The contractor at the time told me nothing more than a rinse with muratic acid would be needed, but reading through your site I see that may not be true.. thank you!

We will reply to your comment shortlyYou can never use muriatic acid on a deck. Use this for prep: https://www.armstrongclarkstain.com/restore-a-deck-kit

We will reply to your comment shortlyI have an L shaped deck stained 2 years ago with your semi-transparent Natural Oak stain. Due to over spray from sprinklers, and more sun exposure, sections of the deck have not held up well, while other sections look fine. I have corrected the sprinkler over spray problem and want to refinish the deck with the same product. My question is should the entire deck be stripped and brightened prior to stain so that it is all an even tone again, or will cleaning and brightening alone achieve this result? Also, with either treatment, do I need to cover the azalea plants nearest the deck, or will watering them down before and after treatment be enough to protect them?

We will reply to your comment shortlyI stripped and brightened most of my deck. (The far end will be finished up today). Should I go back over some of the areas that are still grey with more stripper before I stain it?

We will reply to your comment shortlyCan you send a picture when the wood is dry?

We will reply to your comment shortlyYes, we would strip it one more time. It is not the gray you are removing but the remnants of the old stain. Looks brown.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyLast question. Can I wait an hour or two between stripping and brightening? Or do I have to do the brightener right away?

We will reply to your comment shortlyWhen we initially redid our porch we used AC on the Ipe floor. Then when it was redone BM product was used bc I was told it was the same thing. It was not at all. What steps should I take to get the porch floor back to its original condition which was beautiful with the AC mahogany?

We will reply to your comment shortlyI have a deck that I have stained twice with the Armstrong Semi Transparent Cedar stain. The deck looks pretty good but needs stain to be re-applied. Should I use Restore-a-Deck Stripper or just the Restore-a-Deck?

We will reply to your comment shortlyI have a Tigerwood deck that I built last year. I put Thompson water seal on it. It is still water repellent, but the wood is gray. Will your stripper take this off so I can switch to your penetrating stain oil? Will it harm my powder coat rail posts or the vinyl coated cable? Thanks!

We will reply to your comment shortly2 questions--1.Can the RAD stripper/brighteners be used on a roof deck that has a rubber roof under it, or will they damage the rubber?2. Can I mix some semi-transparent cedar to the hardwood Amber, to adjust the color for use on mahogany deck, or are they too different to mix?

We just need to bring the wood in the fence to natural and get rid of the gray before we stain. Is that doable? -

We will reply to your comment shortlyI am planning to use your stripper with both additives on my cedar porch previously coated several times with Olympic transparent stain. Can this be applied with a standard pump sprayer or will it be so thick that it will need to be rolled on?

We will reply to your comment shortlyI have new mahogany siding installed 9 months ago and coated with BM armor coat want to change it to AC mahogany stain what would suggest for prep.I also have older mahogany siding treated with Seiken's that is over 5 years and has darkened and looks pretty bad .

We will reply to your comment shortlyWe recently had our ipe porch sanded and stained with Thompsons. We're removing with the RAD stripper and brightener prior to applying AC.
We also have a railing that was not sanded and stained. It's ~5 years old and grayed. Can we simply apply the RAD stripper and brightener to this at the same time and will the results match?-
We will reply to your comment shortlyWater down the stripper if the rails are just grayed to 2-3 oz of powder per gallon of water.
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyOkay perfect. I’ll have them do that first, then the porch below at full strength.
For ipe, does the AC stain need to be wiped off after to keep it from remaining greasy?

We will reply to your comment shortlyI used ipe oil recently on newly installed tiger wood. It turned the wood to brown. I like to use the AC amber stain. Can I strip the wood now or should I wait? Also, do I need to use the brightner before staining?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyI used my pressure washer detergent attachment to apply the RAD stripper, rinsed, then brightened. I didn’t realize I was supposed to use a pump sprayer to apply the stripper. After rinsing the RAD brightener off, there is no beading, which leads me to believe it still worked. Is this correct or do I need to redo the stripper? If so, do I also need to brighten again?

We will reply to your comment shortlyI am removing the stains I used previously by completely sanding the deck, and evening the surface of cupped boards with with a planer. In hard to access areas I am stripping with a conventional gel wood stripper which is doing a fairly good job of removal and will finish those area with a little hand sanding. Which products should I use to finish preparation before applying one of the semi solid Armstrong Clark stains?
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyAfter you are done sanding, let it weather for 1-2 months. This will help to open up the pores after the sanding. Once this is done, use this kit for prep:https://www.armstrongclarkstain.com/restore-a-deck-kit
One coat of the AC Stain only.

I have to remove the failed Behr stain used on my deck. Will Restore-A- Deck (1 RAD Stripper and 1 RAD Brightener) remove all the stain still present on the deck? Then I plan on using your Semi-Solid - Woodland Brown stain. Any advise more advise? 5/13/2021 -

We will reply to your comment shortlyHi - if I pressure washed last fall, do I need to pressure wash again before applying stripper and brightener?

We will reply to your comment shortlyI stained my new deck last year with Olympic Elite Maximum Semi transparent stain. I applied 2 coats and after one winter it didn’t hold up very well. I have to re stain it now again and was going to use AC semi solid because it gets full sun most of the day. Do I have to use a stripper and brightener or just a cleaner and brightener as prep before I start staining
-
We will reply to your comment shortlyYou have to remove it fully first. Use both additives as well as it is not an easy strip: https://www.armstrongclarkstain.com/restore-a-deck-stripper/restore-a-deck-stripper-additives
Sand if needed when done.-
We will reply to your comment shortlyThank you for your very prompt response. It does seem like it’s going to be a bit more involved than I planned. I better get a move on then.

We will reply to your comment shortlyThanks for your prompt reply. We followed the manufacturers recommendation and have used the product elsewhere on mahogany, cedar and teak with excellent results. The vertical surfaces of our IPE deck have performed well. Only the horizontal surfaces failed. My inclination is to apply the stain to the vertical surfaces of the deck after sanding (consistent with your recommendation) and maintain the other surfaces as is. It is a large deck and would be a nightmare to have to sand the posts, rail sides, skirts and risers. We are currently building an IPE fence. Am I able to acquire samples of the IPE stain in the three colors?

We will reply to your comment shortlyI have a two year old IPE deck with one coat of stain and two coats of a clear polymeric topcoat. Unfortunately, the existing products have failed miserably, either due to poor conditions at time of application or product failure. In any event, I need to start over. Stripping and/or sanding seems like a necessity. My question is, will the Restore-A-Deck stripper remove the polymeric topcoat? Will restoring to bare wood require more than one application of the stripper? What other advice can you provide? Thanks.
