0 PressurePros 249 Report post Posted April 15, 2008 Hello Nick.. welcome over to TGS An experienced woodie would have recognized that there is no ventilation under that deck. No ventilation and a solid = peeling mess. Nick do a test with that stripper. I think you have a 50% chance you are looking at a nightmare with multiple strips and lots of sanding.

0 fireandrain 39 Report post Posted April 16, 2008 Welcome Nick! Might think about flippin a deck board, see what the underside looks like. Pain in the can, but might be your only solution unless you have a flame thrower handy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mix at 6-8 oz per gallon, apply and let dwell. Time is your friend. Keep moist w/ more HD - don't let it dry out while working. Test it in a well adhered area by scratching at it with a paint stirring stick. When it comes off with ease in the worst area, wash the deck. Neutralize with Oxalic, citric or a blend thereof. Rinse again. Go back and sand any areas that need a little attention. Seal as customer desires. The reason I say it's not a hard strip is it is a deck STAIN on there not a paint. If it were a paint ( and if you are wrong you'll find out) you would be looking at a different chemical to remove it. Beth :cup: p.s. Nick, nice deck you posted in your 2nd link. How do you like working with Wood Tux and Woodrich S&S? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Beth n Rod 1,279 Report post Posted April 16, 2008 I will agree with Ken on the air flow condition as it will retain moisture but I will add that it appears the prep was incomplete and looks like there is another stain beneath the latest coating. This could have caused some adherence problems in conjunction with the high moisture retention condition which only needs a few weeks of dry and hot temps to set this type of failure in motion. In the event it does not come off with hd--80 alone, add a booster to it and give it a 30-45 minute dwell time. Keep it wet the whole time. Rod!~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
