@egm87 Hi there. I used the same aweful stain and I wanted to know if you had luck with RAD? If so, would you mind sharing any pics? Thank you!

Thanks for the quick advice, Scott. So I should go for RAD Paint & Solid Stain Stripper, not the Restore-A-Deck Stain Stripper, correct?

For anyone else who finds this thread with the same question, here's exactly what I'm trying to remove:

1776 Yes, use the RAD Paint Strip.

It is opaque, not semi-transparent in appearance. Behr lies about their opacity. You will need a solid stain pain strip and sanding to get it all off: https://www.deckstainhelp.com/how-to-remove-a-solid-color-deck-stain-or-paint/

My deck recently was redone with Behr semi-transparent waterproof stain/sealer. It's a terrible orange color, and it was painted on unevenly, so it is patchy. I've learned that Behr is particularly frustrating to remove, and a bummer product. And it's on all the railings as well. What is the best stripper to take it off? Pictures attached.

Many Thanks for the advice!
