Happy Days Are Here Again!My First Acrylic Strip in Process - Jul 15th, 08, 11:02 PM

Thanks to everyone who chimed in on this one this past month. Client finally left for Europe yesterday and it was time to get at this strip! My first acrylic strip, and I was up tossing and turning last night worrying that this stuff was going to get the best of me. Here are some process pictures...

Treatment:

8oz p/g F18 sprayed with Deckster
20 min dwell time.

Stain started to wrinkle up real nice after 2 minutes dwell.

1st pictures taken before treatments.

Gettin at it for the 1st rinse, this stuff peeling off, blood pressure getting back to normal. So enthused that I thought I'd one-hand it and snap a picture with the other hand while I shot the deck... Had to.

Redwood 1x2, yes, you heard it right, 1x2 decking coming back to life again! This picture is after a "tester" shot of DS'd brightener.

I'll be back tommorow to continue stripping (more decks on the other side of the house) and brighten everything back up.

So far, I feel pretty good about how this one is going. I was armed with boost, but didnt seem to need it. Again, thanks to all of you awesome woodies who have helped me prepare for this one, my 1st acrylic strip. I appreciate it greatly!!!

These film forming stains are pretty rare around here. Like I said in previous posts, seen only 4 in 8 years. All four in the last 3 weeks!
