I was called out to do an estimate today on a 20 year old PT Pine deck and a privacy fence. Four years ago the home owner hired someone else to wash and stain it. Well, this person did a hack job. The home owner didn't have a choice in stain color (and hates it) and the "contractor" that did it, sprayed it on and didn't even clean up the drips. There are drips everywhere. Luckily the home owner kept a pale of the stain. It's an acrylic by sherwin williams. I am posting a pic of the content label.
The customer is hoping for a strip and re-stain. I told him that I would come back out next week to do a couple of test areas and that I would let him know at that time if this is a job that I am willing to take on. I'm thinking it will be a nightmare.
The stain is starting to fail and peel up in certain areas, but is set well in other areas.
Is this going to be a job that requires a soy type stripper or a stripper cream? If you need any other info, please ask.
