700 sq foot all horizontal job I just sold with wood tux wet. Stripped the previous finish and brightened
Any tips for the WTW? I learned on my sample tests that it should be really thin. The wood is pine. Planning on using the 18 inch pad for it
Anything I should know or y'all recommend before putting it on?

I wear one, the cartridge type from home depot for $38 bucks or so. The cheaper one does not protect against chlorine vapors - says so on the package. Well worth the money. Last year I hardly wore it and was always getting headaches and had the chlorine smell stuck in my nose all night. The respirator prevents that, keeps me healthy and keeps the home owners away.Just picked that one up this morning before heading to a strip job. First time using SH and Ox and the respirator worked great. SH doesnt seem to bother me as much, but oxalic is rough if you breath it in. The respirator stopped it all.

Not a bad idea. Been meaning to get some hd80 to try out.
Got my first strip tomorrow with f-18 so thats why I was wondering.
Hopefully it wont be as hard as the ones you used the f18 on. Test spot seemed to take it off quite well though
Could any of you tell me what the consistency of hd80 is? Ive got timberstrip which is very fine crystal looking and f18 is much thicker and clumpier

I have to say honestly I have not been impressed with F-18. I have been out to a couple deck strips and both required two treatments. To be fair though, they could have both been difficult strips.What dilution are you mixing at?

Dang so much horizontals!! Im in love

With efc I thought you dont necessarily need to neutralize? Maybe you could just stain as is for this one
Or maybe brushing acid on then rinsing?

50 grit im sure youll be fine then
if you got the dust off then go for it
-
Did you wash it before you sanded it?
What grit sandpaper you use?
How much wood did you sand off?

Hey larry this post is super old and the poster doesnt seem to be around anymore.

Does the customer like it? I mean im not well versed in how it should look, but the the railings still look great to me and the floor isn't terribly bad. I would just go the route of explaining to the customer that the wood is still new and tell them you will give them a call next season to come and take a look at hows its aged and do another application to even it out.

Strip off the behr and apply the RS

x jet backpack? is that something you rigged up

Sweet got an echo blower myself, good quality equipment
-
Once yall get the fuzzies off do you just stain over it or do you need to blow off or rinse off the deck?
Rinsing seems like a waste of another day in drying time, but wondering if the blower would get it all off. Or is there usually not enough left over to make a difference?

Another positive for OPW also. Ordered at noon the stuff was leaving the warehouse by 3. Also ordered before scott posted those coupon codes, so the charge was higher, but he switched it to the lower price!!!
Great company!

I just read that a few times and you def need a lot of pictures to help out with that

that wood might as well have come right off the mill
so clean!!

Kevin were the formulas for the fascia and posts and 2x4s messed up for you? They had things for length and height of a 2x4 but it came out in huge feet measurements making a single 2x4 like 80 square feet

That really is an excellent rejuvenation.
Never seen untreated pine on a deck before. Looks like it held out alright for all those years.
Did you have a lot of sanding/deburring with it?
-
Looks awesome!
whats your method for application of woodtux?
Any different with it[wood] being so dry?

Did you rinse the f-18 really well? Tends to be a bit soapy so youve got to try and get most of it off before oxalic. If there was still some soap in the wood it may have lessoned the brightening effect. How strong did you mix the oxalic?
