Available Finishes Click to download product details. Cabot Problem-Solver Wood Stripper is specially formulated to remove oil-based finishes from all wood surfaces such as cedar, redwood, pine, cypress, fir and pressure-treated wood. One gallon of Cabot Problem-Solver Wood Stripper will strip approximately square feet of weathered oil finish. Because it is difficult to determine the condition of the oil-based coating to be stripped, test the undiluted stripper on a small area to determine its effectiveness. Cabot Problem-Solver Wood Stripper is an oil-based paint, stain and varnish remover.

Even if your deck is made of pressure-treated lumber, redwood, cedar, or some other durable species, it's at risk the moment the last nail is driven home. There are several culprits. Moisture swells the wood while the burning rays from the sun dry and shrink it, causing cracks and checks while also encouraging warping. Ultraviolet rays also discolor wood and accelerate wear by breaking down wood fibers. Add in the scratches that occur when you drag chairs across the surface, splattered grease from barbecues, mold growth in shady spots, and ground-in dirt from foot traffic, and most decks start to look old within a few years. Reversing the damage is simple enough.
