I redid my deck in 2018 with TWP 1500 series 5 black walnut. I think the stain needs to be reapplied. What are my steps to do this. This is what my deck looks like today. 

Most all of the stain that we applied 2years ago is worn off. Do I still need to use the defy stripper and brightened before restraining or can I just give it a light power wash?

Just sanded off an old and flaky layer of Behr water-base semi transparent stain from our redwood deck. The stain is 4 years old. I’m concerned about the drips of old stain in between the deck boards which are difficult to sand. Should I use a stripper, continue to sand or ignore those areas? We plan to use TWP 1500 oil-base as the new stain.

We have put a new solid stain on a garage door and don’t like it can I remove and put back to natural wood?

I have semi transparent stain on my deck. It is peeling in some spots. I tried Restore A Deck stripper but it did nothing. How can I strip ,you deck?

What is the best technique and materials to use on a ironwood deck to prep and refinish?

I had an epic wind rain (8 inches in 36 straight hours) event remove my stain after 15 plus hours of curing. it is a new deck that sat for 4 months before cleaning and staining. it is cedar. do I need a stripper to remove what's left or will a cleaner be enough?

Hi,
We used sickens on our new Ipe deck last year.
It wore uneavenly. Set of new untreated stairs weathered to grey over the winter. What do we use to prep and refinish. Right now it looks a mess. Tina

We stained our deck a year ago using Behr Deck Plus Transparent Waterproofing Wood Finish, guaranteed 2 years on decks. Could have been any number of issues (it was sunny that day, may have applied it too thickly etc) but we need to strip and redo because it's flaking badly. What do you recommend, a chemical stripper or just sand it off? Tried some pressure washing but it didn't take it off. Thanks!

I used the stripper on my deck I purchased from you. Do you think I need to strip again or sand or just apply stain? I’m painting the rails white so that’s why I didn’t strip them.

What is the best outdoor temperature to use a wood stripper ?

Russell Nye:

My deck has 3 levels. When stripping, should I start on the upper level, or the lower level?

I have a 120 sq foot pressure treated wood deck that was stained last year with a dark Behr Semi transparent stain. There are several areas that have peeled. I want to strip it and re- stain. What stripper should I use? Would Citristrip be effective in this case?

Three summers ago I applied the Armstrong-Clark Sierra Red stain to a previously-stained mahogany deck. I didn't do my prep work very well, and the stain went on blotchy. I'm restaining this summer, and I've cleaned the deck with Restore-a-Deck Step #1 and #2 products. There's still a lot of blotchiness left, and I'm afraid of restaining and adding to the uneven look. Should I start over and use the RAD stripper - or another product - to remove as much of the Armstrong-Clark stain as possible in the hopes that I'll get a much more even "base layer" before restaining with the A-C Sierra Red? I'm hoping that if I do my prep sufficiently, I won't have to do this again in 2-3 years. (By the way, I'm in the Pacific Northwest with lots of hot direct sun in summers.)

Yes, use the RAD Stripper/Brightener Kit.
