capturing stripped paint

[Tronman 14]

I will be stripping a wrap-around deck on the front and back of a house. The deck has been painted multiple times. Do you guys capture the stripped paint or let it hit the pre-soaked ground and then rinse away?

Suggestions on stripper?

I will post pics of the deck later today.

You are in for a real treat on this one. Three things I hope you billed into your estimate are 1) expensive specialty strippers made to remove paint. These strippers are usually thick like a gel so you are probably not going to be able to spray it on 2) a ton of dwell time to allow the stripper to mpenetrate multiple layers and 3) hours and hours of sanding if you are going with a semi trans.

I offer two solutions for people with painted decks.. prime and solid stain or call another contractor. Unless the customer wants to pay $8/sf to have it restored and I have nothing else booked for a few days. Ihave done a few of these, call me on Monday if you need a good product. Expect to spend about $12 per gallon.
