Does This looks to be an old coat of solid stain to you? What would your process be - wash, scrape, sand , and 2 coats of solid deck stain? Thinking Deckscapes from SW but open to recommendations. Need peelbonding primer? Thank you!
I want to brighten the weathered clapboards to get them as close to the brightness of the new ones.
I have a downstream injector pressure washer, but it dilutes way too much to be able to use oxalic acid to brighten this.
I believe I need a 12v pump or an Xjet??
I saw that the Xjet is about a 1:1 to 1:1.6 ratio water:chemical
How can I effectively mix oxalic acid to brighten this?
What do I do
I will be staining afterward to try and match the semi transparent (water based) stain of the house next door, which I did last year, in the second pic. Those claps were new.
Help appreciated! Thanks
Alright, how would you go about this - (first pic) matching stain across both the weathered clapboards and the new ones on the addition - with the goal of matching with the house to the left (in the second picture)?
House on the left was stained with a water based “red ceder” SuperDeck from Sherwin Williams, semi transparent stain
I’m thinking that to have a uniform color on the larger house, between the weathered and new siding, it would need to be a semi-solid stain. Might there still be a different look from the weathered vs the new claps even with a semi-solid? Would I need to consider a solid stain at that point? Will be experimenting in inconspicuous areas, but thought I would get more opinions
Thanks a bunch
