    YVPW got a reaction from Beth n Rod in Strippers! Which ones are making you money?   
    I'm just curious as to why others are still buying stripper from manufacturers at a substantially higher price than making your own? I used to use F-18 and HD-80 but the past few years decided to make my own and have gotten the same results. I've stripped Behr (silicone), Sherwin williams Woodscapes, fresh TWP 100 series, Sansin Dec etc. without adding any booster. Granted I know a straight acrylic would need a water based solvent added to strip it successfully

    Big house.  Lots of windows and dormers.
     
    It is a shame to put a solid stain on decent lap cedar.  I'd charge an extra 20% on labor just to put up with the sacrilege.

    Use a stain that doesn't have predominantly transoxide pigments. They're too transparent on old weathered wood no matter how you prep it(unless it's sanded even, which is almost impossible with old wood). I suggest Baker's Gray Away stain. I think your problem will be solved
