  1. Hi
    I have a softwood deck of approx. 10 m x 5 m that from day one has received around 4 coats of Cuprinol Anti-Slip Decking Stain (Silver Birch).
    It now looks horrendous, and I would like to strip the deck coating back to bare timber and start afresh with a clear coating and not one that at first looks like paint.

    I know that the Cuprinol product is a waterborne coating.

    Please advise as to which of your stripping products would be best to use on this deck and subsequent follow-on coatings.

    I don’t want to use any solvent or heavy caustic-based products; plus, I want minimal, ideally no, damage to grass or shrubs.

    I will be using a high-powered pressure washer, which has already lifted a fair amount of the existing coating.

    Please advise.

    1. Hi there Andrew,

      For removal of the Cuprinol Anti-Slip Decking Stain, we recommend using Prepdeck Biobased: https://www.owatroldirect.co.uk/product/prepdeck-biobased/ For the purpose in which you require it, you would need to use it undiluted, which has a coverage of – 2-5m² per litre.

      As such, we recommend purchasing a 100ml sample size and testing it out first, to see how much you should need.

      After using Prepdeck Biobased, you must neutralise the surface with Net-Trol: https://www.owatroldirect.co.uk/product/net-trol/ – this is to stop the active ingredient in the Prepdeck Biobased from continuing to work.

      I hope this was helpful.

      Please call us directly on: 01582 592707 or email us at: sales@owatroluk.com for a faster response should you have any further queries.

      All the best,
      The Owatrol Team
