I have cleaned stripped and brightened ipe but it is still grey. Mahogany once wet. ok to stain? Grey and dry pt is not ok to stain so this is where I’m confused with ipe

Add some pics when dry and a couple wet with water.

Thank you! Should I use the booster and/or gel additive? I don’t have vertical surfaces, just 700 square feet of decking. 

No need. Messmers is easy to strip.

It has a Messmers oil based stain on it. We want to strip this stain, and then apply a new oil based stain. We had to re-build part of the deck, so we have a few new boards mixed in with the old ones. We tried sanding a board or two with 80 grit and 60 grit, and the 60 grit removed some stain, but not all. However the deck is too large to effectively use that method. What stripper would be best to use for 10 year old Ipe? What process would you suggest to get the best result?
