My deck has a worn and peeling solid stain (looks just like your picture in how to remove a solid stain).
If I use the alkalai stripper, must I tape and mask off all the newly painted (2 weeks) siding the deck butts up to? Or can I rinse the painted surface as I go? What about when I try to pressure wash the stripped deck? Many thanks.
You are probably not going to be able to completely strip all of the solid stain off. Yes you will need to mask and hopefully you will be bale to strip 70% or more but you will need to finish the job by sanding the stubborn areas.
