Nuetralizing with oxalic?? Woodies help please.

Question

I mostly do flatwork but am restoring a deck next week. I have alot of oxalic on hand and was going to mix 4oz per gallon to nuetralize F10. The decks are over a blacktop parking area and the townhomes are vinyl. How much potential do I have for brighteneing the blacktop etc? It will be difficult to rinse the blacktop alot, or should I nuetralize with something else. I would prefer to have something that offers the least margin of error, and safety during use than save a few bucks.

With that said, If presoaking blacktop, and using pump-up other than sure-flo will work o.k. I stick with it.

I also remember reading somewhere that bleach did not need be nuetralized, is this true?

The wood is PTP and about 2 years old with no sealer. It is about 12 ft off of the ground. I will be staining with RS.

Thanks, for your help, I just don't want to screw up on my first big deck job.

Prewet the area before applying the F-10.

Prewet the area before applying the Oxalic.

Rinse thoroughly.

If you keep the area wet and diluted and you're fine.

You should not have problems.
