Paul Dinos sells hd-80 but he markets it under his own label. I forget the name. He is in kennesaw. 678-910-6327

Yes, that is what I have read in several posts, thats why I am trying to get as much detail as possible to make my decision. The customer does want to go to an oil base as he does not like the solid. He knows that the cost of doing the whole thing would be nuts, so he wants to just paint the rest of the stairs and lattice work in a similar color.

A couple more questions please.... 1. $30, is that a gallon? 2. About how much do you think would be needed for a 21x16 deck with spindles. 3. Would I use it on the deck floor as well as spindles or just use HD80 on the floor. 4. How long should it sit, over night covered with plastic as I have heard some say or just an hour or two. 5. Do you just pressure wash as usuall once it has sat long enough Many thanks for any suggestions.

Where do you get this 'jasco' and what is the full name? Is it stronger than HD80 or what makes it better? Thanks

Looked at a deck today. It was badly worn and peeling in many places. My main concern is it was stained with an acrylic solid stain and many areas are still intact. I have only stripped simi trans oil based decks so far. Is it wise to take this on with our experience??? Can HD80 handle this stain? I have attached pics. I will only be stripping the top deck portion the rest (stair case, lattice work, supports) will be pressure washed only. Thanks.

By the way, If it were to streak using the light bleach and soap. Would the 2 step process correct the issue?

Well I'll pay my latest premium and go at it gently. Thanks.

Looks like the customers main issue is removing the mold not any problem with oxidation. My question is will the bleach do anything to the aluminum. Is this the proper way to clean the alumimum. Might be nice to know how to get any oxidation off while we are talking about it. Thanks!

I have a job to bid tomorrow for a guy who has aluminum siding on his house. Says he has mold that he wants removed. Can I use my typical mix of straight 6% bleach with some house wash downstreamed or does aluminum need special treatment? Thanks

What is a safe minimum temperature to strip a deck. The average day time temp here in Atl has been around 53 the last couple of weeks. Is that warm enough?

Can HD-80 remove water based stain as well as it removes oil based? If not, what should be used. I've not had experience removing water based stain but I am told it is much harder. Can you tell by looking if a deck was stained with one or the other say a year or two later?

Thanks for the invite. Montgomery is a bit to far from north Atl. Have to wait for something to happen a little closer.

I am not one to re-invent the wheel. Guess I'll order another tub of HD. Thanks.

What are the details on the Round Table? I would love to come. What kind of job do you have going in Peach Tree?

My understanding is that any job is legal except for cleaning concrete in Cobb county. (if you are referring to the drought). Although I contacted the water department in Bartow county just north of Cobb and they said concrete was fine as long as I am licensed.
