	<br />
	"Behr" is such a poor stain. It really makes you wonder about CR. Even the homeowners (On Consumers Site) who used Behr, rated it a 1 out of 5 stars.<br />
	<br />
	Years ago they tested TWP and they gave it a #1 rating. Then they stopped testing it. Not sure why but I really think it comes down to money.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Hi, first off let me say thank you for such an informative site. This season I am undergoing a project to refinish my pressure treated 20' x 12' deck in Central PA. If not for this site I would have followed CR's recommendation and used a Behr product. I have instead decided to use TWP 1500 per this site's review once the prep work is done. The previous homeowner used a Cabot's solid color stain and I have spent the last few days sanding the finish off the railings but have not yet moved onto the floor boards. My question is a product like Restore-A-Deck Stripper effective at removing solid car stains? Or should I just continue on with the sanding (60 grit)?<br />
	<br />
	My plan:<br />
	1) RAD Stripper on floor boards and hard to reach areas I could not sand.<br />
	2) RAD Cleaner on sanded areas.<br />
	3) RAD Brightener on all areas.<br />
	4) Finish with TWP 1500.]]></content:encoded>
