Need some advice on stipping an oil base paint and the primer off a deck. Here are the facts: We are stipping the paint to prepare it for staining. The paint is old and weathered. We tried using a recommended paint stripper from Lowe's, but without success. We pw at no higher than 1k psi, bc. we didn't want to tear up the wood at a higher psi. The deck is about 125 sq. ft. with spindled railings and a couple of steps.
What will take the paint off and about how much will that cost. Is there a cost effective way to remove the paint w/o sanding. It also seemed that the stripper would not stay on the spindles long enough to work the paint off. Anything you can do or use w/ a stripper to get it to hold to the spindles.
Much help/advice would be appreciated on this one, especially bc. it isn't a big paying job and it's already cutting into our profit margins, but we would like to finish the job right in the most cost effective way.
Thanks, from
