do you need to let a new deck cure before putting stain on or can you put on right away?

Pressure treated wood needs to cure for a year (for any stain, not just OTW).

New Smooth Cedar neeeds to weather for six months and New redwood for 4- 6months.You can apply One Tim On rough Sawn Cedar immediately. New Pressure Treated Wood can have One Time applied 2-4 weeks after installation.

Sorry, I haven't used this product yet. I panicked when I saw a stain, purchased the product but was able to remove the stain without it. Good luck

None. Take a WET rag, hydrogen peroxide, and an iron. YouTube it. 1. Pour the peroxide into stain. 2. Put wet rag over 3. Put iron on high WITH STEAM on top of rag (just set it) for 10-30 seconds 4. Blot off- works on tons of stuff! Better for you than simple green nasty stuff too, and works better too!

I was able to easily scrape most of the Restore off my wooden deck with a putty knife. I then paid someone to power wash and hand sand to remove the rest. You may need something like a bristle brush for cement. I opted to replace it with Defy Extreme Wood Stain. I didn't feel comfortable trying Behr Deckover after the Restore experience. I don't have any recommendations for cement.

I have a composite deck. Get a 5 gallon bucket and a short bristled deck brush, add 4 ounces to 2 gallons of water and start scrubbing. You might want to sprinkle some OxiClean on a moist deck first and start the scrubbing process a few hours after.

The board does come varnished. I did the same thing as you want to do though except that I woodburned mine. Its a light varnish job, so it only takes about 10 minutes to sand off. You might have a difficult time finding a blank deck that hasn't been sealed in some way, but good luck.

As long as your deck has the holes in the deck in the back you shouldit have a problem takes about 20 minutes

Sorry but I only washed the deck. Although it did a decent job of removing dirt, mildew and grime, for reasons too involved to mention here, I did not paint or seal the deck.

You need it to cure. I would wait 24 hours. it may be less or more depending on temperature and humidity.

Yes, this the best for taking a stain. I use it on piano finishing where I need a good consistency and where it cannot be obvious that there was a repair. For a deck I would probably use an 80 grit to sand. The finer the grit the lighter the repair will be as it will absorb less stain. 220 grit can be too fine on a piano or furniture. On a deck it is not so important but on furniture this filler sands out to a smooth repair unlike other fillers.

Depends on the conditions outside on a typical day you could second coat in 4 hours but leave it 24 hours to cure before you intend to use the deck for anything else...

In this instance I used deck paint on the plastic wood. On other occasions I have used a like material and stained it but first I scored the putty with a knife, giving it a "grain" that would show darker when stained. I tried to match the grain of the surrounding wood. Then a little more stain with a Q-tip to get the shade just right. It worked OK. This stuff should work the same.

All of the wood should be treated. Then let it sit 24-48 hours and you're in business!! Love this stuff...

YES, I rebuilt an oak park bench and treated the oak with Copper Coat, allowed it to completely dry (a week)and applied the oil sealer/ stain. Be aware, the color of the stain will be affected by the green color of the CC. Pre-test!

not bad, really- depending on how bad the stain is, you can dilute the solution 3 parts AIP with 1 part water in a gallon sprayer then saturate the area and allow to dry. The manufacturer also offers full support- they are of great help, too.

I have had it remove stains when I apply it right away. Make sure you soak the area with Odormute, pat with paper towels, if it is on carpet, and let it dry. After it is thoroughly dry, then you can work on the stain with other household products.

You can use this on a previously sealed deck. The older the better (less work.) You'll just need to strip the sealant using non chlorine bleach diluted in water and 'painted' on and power washed off. The reason you use bleach is because it's an oxidizing agent. Oxidation of the stain from the porous wood membrane happens over a long period of time, naturally, with exposure to sun, rain, etc. Non chlorine bleach simply speeds it up.
