    have a multi deck job to do. one deck is redwood with some boards replaced with regular wood. one deck is treated wood and a walkway to one deck that is redwood also. these all have been stained one coat with a sherwin williams acrylic latex solid stain. the stain is a grey color. there are alot of flower beds and plants around areas to strip all decks are to be stripped and restained. some of the areas on the decks and walkway are allready pealing from just last years stain. she wants the decks restained with cabots and a similar solid grey stain but i do believe that its going to be oil based. what stripper should i use to strip and what neutralizer should i follow up with after stripping and also and suggestions on cleanup etc because of all the flower beds and plants around the deck areas? any special care that is needed for staining and stripping redwood? any info greatly appreciated

    what about stripping and using a solid color stain after if any blemishes to wood grain cracks etc left by the old paint? tidyjet you said you stripped and used a semi solid and no probs guess it all depends on what the wood looks after stripping is done. did you have to do any sanding at all or did the stripper pretty much take care of all the paint? how many layers of paint was it?

    rail system is on second level but not getting done just deck itself. looks like it will have to be stripped then repainted then. any thing even new paint will look good on it was an ugly color of green previous owners painted to match the shutters on the house with white railing. wants railing to stay white and railing has no probs with it paint holding good just deterioration to paint on deck in some spots.looks like about 2 or 3 good coats of previous paint on deck itself. anyone have a guesstimate on how many gallons of stripper to loosen that many layers off? i know ill have to goop in on nice n thick with a long knap roller. was thinking of tryin wolmans a/l stripper talked to few other people who said works pretty good and they had no probs cutting through 3-4 layers of paint with it. Think i should go with it or try another stripper? have heard mixed opinions on the citrus strip ad personally have never tried it before?

    contractor and will be fisrt to strip paint off deck dont mind payin the extra for a good stripper rather strip then sand it. totaly sanding the deck would be last resort. no rail or spindle work just main flat deck area need attention. some areas are peeling good and pose no problem where other boards looks like its adheered pretty good to. any good strippers out there i can try and about how much they run. any help greatly appreciated.

    have a deck that has been painted and i want to strip the paint off and stain it. the deck is about ten years old and so is the paint on it. any suggestions on striping paint from it. some areas the paint is peeling and pressure washer should pull that off but other boards the paint is adhered pretty good and no peeling of it at all. any good chemicals that can help pull off that old paint? its a 2 level deck 8x8 then upper level is 12x24 total of 5 steps. any suggestions or products to use would greatly be appreciated. Thanks
