Chemical Strip for the Win
Our client was unhappy with the oil-based stain she had someone put on her home because it was dull, splotchy, darkening, bleeding, and seemed to be inviting carpenter bees from distant lands. We used a chemical stripper and degreaser to remove it completely and reapply the Perma-Chink Systems water-based stain system she originally had on the home. The lovely hazelnut color was restored, the bees are subsiding (with concerted effort), and our client fell in love with her gorgeous home once again.
All finished! Re-stained with Perma-Chink System's Lifeline Prelude, Ultra-7 in Hazelnut, and Advance Clear Coat, satin.
The oil-based stain had only been on for a few years and bled out onto the deck.
Splotchy, splotchy, splotchy.
Dry, dull, darkening, and bee-infested.
This side of the home looked like a whole different color than the rest.
The back of the home exhibited both faded areas and darkened areas.
Before
Here we are beginning to prep for the chemical strip. It's visible how dark and splotchy the oil stain had gotten after only three years.
Chemical stripping with Perma-Chink System's S-100.
Final re-staining with Perma-Chink System's Lifeline Prelude, Ultra-7 in Hazelnut, and Advance Clear Coat, satin.
The new stain matches the home's garage doors perfectly, as intended.
After
No more bleeding color, and we repaired and re-stained the decks using Perma-Chink's Deck Defense.
