Deck & Wood Stripper

1. Pre-wet the wood. This keeps the product closer to the surface so it's more effective and also helps prevent damaging the wood.
2. Apply the stripper. Mix ratios vary from 3:1 for hard-to-remove stains/coating to 7:1 for those that are easier to remove.
3. Allow to dwell as long as needed, typically between 20 to 40 minutes. If you're working in cold weather, it may take a little longer.
4. Do a "scuff" test. Either using a nylon brush or the heel of your boot, rub it on the surface and see if the coating is coming off. If so, then it's time to rinse.
5. Rinse thoroughly using a low-pressure rinse, keeping your nozzle 6 to 12 inches away from the wood. The stripper has a surfactant that lifts the coating up, so you just need to gently rinse. Make sure you rinse until all the product is off.
