What’s Included

  • 2 lb HD80 Wood Stripper Jar: Formulated to handle semi-transparent and solid finishes.
  • Detailed Instructions: Step-by-step application guidelines ensure proper coverage, safety, and optimum results.
  • Surface Prep Accessories: Basic cleaning pads and measuring scoop for accurate mixing.

Coverage & Application

  1. Surface Preparation
    • Sweep debris, dirt, and loose materials from the wood.
    • Lightly pre-wet the surface to help the stripper penetrate evenly.
  2. Mixing the Stripper
    • Follow label instructions for the recommended water-to-HD80 ratio.
    • Stir until fully dissolved, creating a consistent stripping solution.
  3. Application
    • Apply the mixture evenly with a stiff-bristle brush, roller, or pump sprayer.
    • Allow HD80 to dwell and lift away old finishes (typically 15–30 minutes, depending on temperature and wood type).
  4. Agitation & Removal
    • Agitate with a stiff brush to break bond between wood and old coatings.
    • Rinse thoroughly using a pressure washer or garden hose with high pressure.
  5. Post-Strip Inspection
    • Check for any stubborn spots; reapply HD80 if necessary for complete removal.
    • Neutralize the wood (if required) with a mild acid rinse or brightener, then allow to dry fully before refinishing.

  • You can apply the brightener right away after cleaning.  If there are puddles of water, try to broom those off before applying the brightener.  There is no maximum amount of time you can wait, as long as you apply the brightener at some point before you stain.  
  • Yes, you can usually wait up to about three weeks before the sun will start causing the wood to lost its natural color.
  • Short Answer:  150 square feet HD-80 should be applied heavily at a rate of about 150 square feet per gallon.  The stripper is designed to soften existing stain and sealers to a near liquid consistency.  The amount of time this process takes depends on many factors.  The type/brand of finish being removed, the number of "coats" or applications, the amount of direct sunlight the wood receives and the amount of time since the last application all play a major role. HD-80 stripper is only active when it is wet.  If the stripper begins to dry before the existing finish has softened enough, more stripper should be sprayed on to keep it wet.  This will reduce your effective spread rate. A high quality oil based exterior stain should be reasonably easy to strip.  The "dwell time" or the amount of time the stripper needs to soften it thoroughly is usually about 15 min or less when the temp is about 70 degrees.  Under these conditions you can count on that 150 square foot per gallon estimate. If you are stripping several layers of a cheap water based, or worse a water reducible alkyd based product the dwell time is going to be much longer.  Film forming products that crack and peel are often the most difficult to remove.  Sometimes you have to keep the surface wet for up to an hour to completely soften all the layers to the point they can be gently power washed off. If you are doing this work in the direct sun, on a breezy day you are going to have to apply the HD-80 several times in order to keep it wet that entire time.  Each time you soak the surface your spread rate is going to be roughly 15o square feet per gallon, however your effective rate for the project might be half that or less. This is the main reason professional contractors will almost always perform a scratch test to determine how long its going to take to strip the surface and better estimate how much stripper they will need to complete the job.  For the DIY community we offer sample test kits so you can determine how easy your wood will be to restore.  
  • We recommend using either the EFC-38 cleaner and mild stripper to remove outdoor wood furniture stain. Use also the HD-80 heavy-duty wood stripper. Then you would follow with the Citralic wood brightener and neutralizer.
  • It is okay if the wood is damp (with no puddles) or dry when applying EFC-38.  The cleaner could become diluted if the wood has a lot of puddles.  Wood that is in the direct sun can become hot to the touch.  It is okay to mist the wood with a little water to cool it off before applying the EFC-38.  This will help the cleaner stay wet and active longer.
  • HD-80 and EFC-38 are both very effective cleaners for concrete and hard surfaces. Of course you want to follow all of the same safety precautions as when they are used for wood restoration. Citralic Brightener/Neutralizer will effectively remove rust and other mineral stains from concrete. For severe concrete stains, you can wet the area and then grind in some of the dry Citralic powder making a thin paste.  Allow that paste to dry on the surface and then rinse away.  Repeat as necessary.

  • It is easiest to use a pressure washer after the HD-80 has softened the existing finish. For larger jobs, it is a good idea to test the HD-80 first to be sure that it is going to effectively remove your finish. There are sample kits available for testing.

  • Yes. You neutralize with Woodrich Brand Citralic Brightener / Neutralizer before applying the new stain.

  • HD-80 is a heavy-duty wood stripper. It is effective at removing most semi-transparent deck stains and sealers. HD-80 is a caustic material. So care should be taken to protect surrounding vegetation such as grass and plants. We also recommend the use of protective clothing to protect the skin and eyes. Woodrich-Brand also manufactures EFC-38 which is a mild stripper that will effectively remove most oil-based semi-transparent deck stains and sealers. If you are not sure which product is best suited for your project, you can order a product sample kit. Then test them each to see which you prefer. You can also contact the Woodrich-Brand project support hotline at 636-288-8512 if you have questions before you order. 

  • I believe that you would get better results with a paint stripper. This product works best for removing wood stains and sealers.
