Hello,
I am looking at stripping my deck using the RAD stripper and a pressure washer. Unfortunately, I have to rent a pressure washer and they seem to all be around 2700-3000 psi. I will use a fan-shape nozzle to try to prevent damaging the wood, but do you have other tips? Wash using a "sweeping" (like a broom) motion or just continually wash straight ahead?Pressure wash one board end to end at a time? How long to let stripper sit on wood before washing off?
Thanks a bunch!

Wash with sweeping motion. Use a wide fan tip like the green tip. Pressure is relative to how far away you are from the wood. 8-12" away has much less pressure. 10-15 minutes with the stripper.
