Chemically Stripping & Brightening Exterior Wood

[@edvalentine5127]

Very professional video. You should have a Saturday morning home show!

[@advicefromayoungtradesmant2482]

Check out "Ask a Painter" on YT and FB/IG, my good friend Nick Slavik does an amazing job!

[@Joestacemazjojo]

100% one of the best instructional videos I’ve seen on KZbin. Very well put together and I appreciate the fact that everything didn’t work out the first time because more times than not that’s how real jobs go.

[@advicefromayoungtradesmant2482]

For sure, gotta show the process even when it's not pretty and smooth!

[@LakeshoreExteriorCleaning]

This is an example of a guy who could've killed it in any pathway he took. Thank you for creating such a well put together video. Best video on stripping and brightening I've ever seen.

[@advicefromayoungtradesmant2482]

Thanks so much!

[@antennawilde]

As a 30 year painter, I can say this guy knows what he's talking about.

[@advicefromayoungtradesmant2482]

Thank you sir!

Hi from Downunder. What a fantastic video from an extremely professional trades person. When I win the lottery I will fly you Downunder to do the deck of the mansion that I will buy. Your attention to detail is terrific.

[@Ben-attas]

So glad I came across your video ! This is really a professional tutorial. Thank you so much for sharing what appears to be a very thorough knowledge . I am struggling with resurfacing my wood deck and I am sure your vid will help. God bless you for what you are doing 👍👍👍

[@maxtiger5396]

Thank you for explaining it well. Took me an hour to find this quality. I have a well also. Just bought a house on a lake ❗🤘

[@AnneWilkynson]

I was looking for this video precisely! Just tried to pressure wash my back deck to remove the stain, what a mess! I will follow your extremely well explained video to the letter and I'm sure to be successful. Thanks!

[@CatVo1971]

It’s a very good tutorial. You go into details insight and we’ll explain it all. Thank you so much. Subscribed.

In true awe of your skills in imparting knowledge.

[@williecunningham3725]

I like his calm patient way of explaining things!!!! Very soothing and easy to pay attention to his instructions!!!! He is a well seasoned instructor! 😊😊😊

[@advicefromayoungtradesmant2482]

Thanks for watching!

[@kirk2269]

This is the only video anyone needs for how to strip a deck. The people getting their information from Facebook groups run by guys trying to sell their chemicals or stain are so mislead.

[@christopherronan6784]

I really appreciate this as a young new business owner in this field.. it explains the actual science behind things and not the product. It speaks towards results as well as effective cost and overhead habits.

[@advicefromayoungtradesmant2482]

Thanks for watching!

[@jambatvee3803]

Wow! Best video on stripping a deck. No fluff, no upsell. Keep it up!

[@christopherronan6784]

I screen shot all of his bullet points. This page is solid info for professionals as well as home owners

[@advicefromayoungtradesmant2482]

Glad you found it to be a good resource, thanks for watching!

Haha thanks Sam - NEVER

[@samv7487]

Thank you for taking the time to show detailed instructions. Great video.

[@advicefromayoungtradesmant2482]

You're very welcome and thanks for watching!

[@VincentMolina86]

I just came across your channel. Great content. Very professional.

[@orsoncorson9083]

Totally good insight on this. Awesome prep and insider knowledge for the novice or the seasoned painter. Nice job.

[@advicefromayoungtradesmant2482]

Thanks for watching!

[@emmarizzelli9525]

Great video! One of the best I've seen on stripping. How did you apply the stripper to the verticals? With a brush? Or sprayer?

[@billsullivan8812]

@advicefromayoungtradesman - outstanding video. What is best stripper for thompson waterseal?

[@gudwinag]

I’m finishing my ipe deck following your excellent vid and recommendations, question; How do you protect your newly finished deck from deck furniture

[@MurraysModernizedFurnishings]

awesome video, super helpful!

[@brandybrooks2123]

Love it man

[@Ktealove]

Your strip/stain videos have been sp helpful! I'm about to strip acrylic stain from my cedar siding using armstrong clarks stripper. Any tips on how to protect my garage door? I definitely dont want to strip the color from it.

[@AndYetHereWeAre]

Nice video. Couple of quick things. Hydroxide isn't always the main ingredient. Sodium metasilicate is a big one. Potassium hydroxide is another which is great for water based stains. Same with butyl addatives.

[@advicefromayoungtradesmant2482]

Great points!

[@karen936]

Thank you so much for this video. I have been searching forever. I have one section of deck that I stained with a waterbased stain it failed and I am grateful I do not have to strip the whole deck. I am using the sherwin williams products that you mentioned. I did not know if I had to keep the house walls (wood) covered when using the brightner. You answered that question. I will be covering all the walls upper and lower. Thanks again.

[@advicefromayoungtradesmant2482]

So glad it was helpful, thanks for watching!

[@mateennique]

Such an excellent and detailed video of the process. Thank you! Couple of comments. You mentioned you will use Superdeck Canyon Brown oil based stain. I thought you need to treat hardwood with hardwood stain, or it’s okay in this case. Some manufacturers (i. e. Armstrong Clark ) explicitly state that for hardwood you need to use a special stain. Hardwood definitely rots. I’m dealing with this issue myself. The previous owner had planters with drip line in each corner and due to a poor design the boards under the planters were kept moist all the time. Needless to say that the damage is significant. I’m going to flip these boards to get a couple of more years of it.

[@advicefromayoungtradesmant2482]

Great question about hardwood stains - there are hardwood specific ones that work great like Armstrong Clark's. That's actually my preferred one. However, most other penetrating oils will work on hardwoods, you just may have to wipe off excess depending on the manufacturer. It's never a bad idea to use a hardwood specific one but it's by no means a necessity!

[@antennawilde]

Test a small area for absorption first, but I'd thin it down 10 to 15% on hardwood

[@rlmares]

Did you ise the same stripper in the pump to keep it wet? Ot is pretty viscous as you said wondering if its the same product or you diluted

[@Jesus-eb8yk]

What stain did you used. Was it oil based. Great video.

[@huguetteguilhaumon]

Are the written instructions you refereed to in the video available.? Very instructive video. thank you

[@advicefromayoungtradesmant2482]

Sure, DM me on IG @advicefromayoungtradesman

[@kimberlyel82]

If u can plz reply I’m doing my deck now.. I do all the construction I’m a stay at home mom and my husband works… he replaced (he does the hard stuff for me still lol) a few deck boards… so some of the wood is bare and some is needing strip… can I put stripper on the replaced boards or do I have to go around them or pull them uo

[@advicefromayoungtradesmant2482]

You can use the same stripper/brightener application on the new boards. They won't look the same since they're new but you can't really change that.

[@VivaLasVegusNervana]

If you mixed the powdered concentrate in a low volume of water, could you also make it into a gel-like more viscous stripper?

[@advicefromayoungtradesmant2482]

I think it would make a paste that might work on a very small scale, but that SW stripper for sure has other ingredients that give it the gel consistency.

[@AndYetHereWeAre]

Also what kind of stain was on there previously?

[@advicefromayoungtradesmant2482]

Some type of Sikkens film forming finish, the client didn't know.

[@dencho3003]

would this work with painted wood?

[@mikemovila7732]

nope

[@mikemovila7732]

painted wood is a different animal

[@advicefromayoungtradesmant2482]

Nope, painted wood is so difficult to chemically strip on this scale it's not worth even attempting.

[@every_thing_wood1251]

Is there somewhere i could contact you for some advice?

[@advicefromayoungtradesmant2482]

DM on Instagram @advicefromayoungtradesman.

[@karen936]

So It's ok to wait till the next day to use the brightner?

[@advicefromayoungtradesmant2482]

I used to think it had to be immediately after but I no longer believe that it's a necessity. In a perfect world, yes, but it's not the end of the world if it happens the next day.

[@tonybersano2428]

Would you consider selling a copy of your s.o.p. manual, it looks very organized

[@advicefromayoungtradesmant2482]

I'll give it to you - DM on IG @advicefromayoungtradesman.

[@blairquinn4768]

I wish I could talk to this guy, would love to know when he thinks stripping is necessary on IPE

[@lolawalsh9187]

Where are the list of products?????

[@deekneumann3943]

The place is on well water. Is the well near? And you are dumping chemicals into the soil. What's wrong here?

[@brandybrooks2123]

Thanks man
