  • Strips worn finishes
  • Biodegradable deck stain remover
  • Restores the natural beauty of wood
  • Water clean-up

Defy Exterior Wood Stain Stripper will remove most oil and latex based finishes including: clear film-forming varnishes, polyurethanes, solid color and semi-transparent stains. To find out how to remove wood stain with Defy wood stripper, read below.

How to remove wood stain
Defy Exterior Wood Stain Stripper will remove weathered solid color stains and varnishes as well as semi-transparent stains that cannot be removed by simply cleaning. If unsure whether the wood needs to be stripped or just cleaned, test a small, inconspicuous area to determine which method will provide the best results before proceeding. Defy wood stripper will cover 100-150 sq. ft. per gallon and is sold in 1 gallon containers. Applying a generous amount of this deck stain remover with a polyester brush, roller or pump-up hand sprayer and then allowing it to sit for 15 minutes will cause the finish to begin to lift and remove stain wood finish from the wood?s surface. After the finish begins to lift, scrub with a stiff bristle brush in the direction of the wood grain. After scrubbing, rinse with large amounts of water in the direction of the wood grain. Using a pressure washer, although not mandatory, will eliminate the need for scrubbing. However, particular care should be taken with a power washer to avoid damaging the wood. After rinsing, you must neutralize and brighten the wood with Defy Wood Brightener immediately. If stubborn areas remain, repeat the application in those areas.

        You cannot strip this stain. It is a solid opaque stain in appearance and it is not possible to strip this type.

    I will be refinishing a very worn deck. No idea what was used on it previously, but it looks like any previous finishing is gone. Would it hurt to use the stripper just in case? Also, do I need to protect painted spindles from the stripper?

    "After rinsing, you must neutralize and brighten the wood with Defy Wood Brightener immediately"... How much time do you define immediately as? Does the impact the max time I can allow stripper to sit? I have solid stain deck (it is weathered) but want to do best to make sure it gets removed.

      Withing 20 minutes is best. Does not matter how long the stripper sits. Strippers will not remove a solid stain.

    I am trying to refinish a raised panel wooden garage door. It was stained about 7 years ago. I was able to sand the flat areas. I wondered if the stain stripper would work on the panels.

    TLDR is there any benefit to applying stripper to old un-stained dirty decking?
  • We will reply to your comment shortly.
    Gage Lockhart · 07/30/2019
    I re-decked my deck rails, stairs and bench last year with green treated pine. I re-decked the main area a couple of years ago. Unfortunately there has been some meat dripping (from smoker) and oil spills on the two year old decking. I did buy stripper for other areas however my question is will the help the unstained re-decked areas that the messes I described? Is there any benefit to applying the stripper to these un-stained areas at all? I am going to follow up with the wood brightener regardless.

    Thanks
    • We will reply to your comment shortly.
      thesealerstore · 07/31/2019
      No, for unstained areas you would want the Defy Cleaner and then the Defy Brightener.

    Wayne Smith · 07/11/2019
    if I use the the
    wood Stain Stripper do I need to also use the Wood Cleaner before using the Brightner? My deck is relatively clean except for some old stain areas, that is why I am going to use the Stripper.

      No need to use the Cleaner if you are using the Stripper.

    Tina T:
    Just re-stained section of deck w/BM Arborcoat semi-trans and don't love the color. Will this product work to strip it so I can start over using Defy Lt Walnut or Natural Pine? How many gallons to do entire 1100sf deck? How long to ship to zip code 11763? Thanks

    The BM Arborcoat cannot be stripped off. Sanding will be needed to remove it. As for the Defy Extreme, you will need about 10 gallons for the two coats.

    John Ellis:
    I am planning on using the Extreme natural pine or light walnut stain on my front porch and back deck. The old Flood CWF-UV5 finish was applied at least 5-6 years ago and has mostly disappeared. I have floor sanded the decks and also applied wood cleaner and then pressure washed. Not sure if I've adequately prepped though, and I've copied a link to two photos below. Am I ready to stain or do I still need cleaner, stripper, or deck brightener before proceeding?

    Use the Stripper and pressure washing. Brighten after. The rest of the CWF needs to come off.

    What steps are required to remove years of tompsons water sealer prior to using Defy wood stain?
  • We will reply to your comment shortly.
    opwdecks · 10/22/2013
    1. If you pre wet and rinse the plants form any over spray you will not have issues. Failure to do this could result in browning of the leaves.

    2. Not when heavily diluted as it would be by the time anything got into the water.
