Does anyone know a way to get paint off a deck so we can stain it. I dont think I could afford to get it sanded, Anyone have ideas that are not so hard?
Pressure washing might get some of it, but I doubt it will get it all.
Why do you want to stain it? People normally paint it because the wood is starting to rot or they’re trying to cover up something.
There’s really only two ways if you want to stain a previously painted surface. Sand it or chemical paint remover gel like Circa 1850. Depending on how old the paint is, the type and how many coats, it can be a devil to get off with the gel. Alternating between an electric palm sander and rented drum sander is a lot easier imo. Justin’s idea is a lot easier. Pressure wash the loose paint and paint it again.
I second the above reccomendation: Powerwash and re-paint.
