We had a deck built and asked for a referral to have the deck stained. We were lead toward this product. Cabot Austrailian timber oil. The owner of the buisness suggested Jarroh Brown. It is a very dark brown. We hate it. It is so Hot! It doesn't weather well either. We have had two applications in 3 years. And It needs treated again. We are looking for guidance. The few people we have talked to tell us that we don't have a choice but to continue to use the same product and dark color. I am hoping to have the deck restored but I don't know if it is possible. Is there a way to restore the deck with a chemical stain remover instead of sanding it off? Does anyone have a referral for a reputable company in Charlotte, NC?

Not sure if it can be stripped. Try this site for contractors:

I have the same lousy product. According to Cabot, it can be stripped with Cabot Problem Solver Stripper followed by Cabot Problem Solver Wood Brightener (just oxalic acid.)
If its been on a long time then you might need to power wash.
I would call Cabot tech support. Go to their web site, cabotstain.com and there is contact info on that page.

We have a six-year-old deck made of angelim pedra hardwood. Local paint shop recommended that we use Cabot Australian Timber Oil on our deck. This looked great, but burned off in a few months with direct sun/rain/snow and southwest exposure. Four years have passed and the oil is now completely gone from the surface of the deck, which is now grey and oxidized, except in one area where deck is partially covered. We are refinishing, but hoping for a better/longer-lasting product. Based on reviews from this site, I am looking to use Armstrong/Clark hardwood stain in a semi-transparent mahogany color. My question is, will the presence of old timber oil in the wood cause problems for this new stain? Is this something that can be fixed with Restore-A-Deck cleaner and brightener?
