Viccon Deck and Fence Wood Finish Stripper

Great product – How good is this product, used another popular deck cleaner product, this time I decided to do a full Strip before doing a new oil coat, check out the difference, just need to use the rejuvenator to restore the timber back to its original colour Show details

Excellent Product, does what it says – I used this product to strip back Intergrain Ultra Deck timber oil from a patchy deck coating (some sections under cover and as good as 3 new coats and some exposed to weather and starting to lose the last coat). Long story short removed almost 95% of the the finish from all parts of the deck. It did struggle with in between deck spacing primarily… Read more

due to vertical surfaces and required additional coatings (Per advertisement). Overall can't be happier as it was cheaper than other timber finish strippers. Some tips included on their website and pamphlet which are valuable are a must as follows:

1. Turbo Nozzle. A definite must if you are using box store electric pressure washer like Ryobi or lower end karcher/gerni. I used a karcher turbo nozzle and while it says it is for petrol/gas it can be used on lower end electric. You can also use a 15 degree nozzle, just takes longer. 2. 60 grit or 80 grit sanding belts with Belt sander. You can use the manual sanding rolls on sanding floats and they do the job but just takes time.

Some things to watch out for: 1. The peeled of finish goes everywhere when you use the pressure washer to remove it. So be prepared to clean after all adjoining surfaces such as walls, downpipes and doorways/French doors etc. Cleans easily with water and a gentle brush from these surfaces. 2. If you have a garden or vegetable patch, make sure you use sufficient water to wash it away from the leaves and roots. 3. If you are time poor and have a medium or large size deck greater than 30 square meters, chemical stripping is ideal and time saving. Note, whichever way, you will have to use the belt sander. So if you have time and you are good at using the belt sander with suction, then use a 32 grit and don't worry about chemical stripping.

Manual stripping is the best for a deck and use of a timber oil also is best for the deck. Everything else is a compromise. So don't expect a compromise to be just as good as simple hard work. Professionals use this as it saves time and if you are time poor, then this is one of the best solutions out there from a cost v benefit.

I would definitely thank the guys at Deck and Fence for an excellent product and an informative pamphlet. Great work guys.

It does work – I only recently bought the 15 litres of the liquid stripper. I had previously used Liquid 8 jell which required getting down on your hands and knees and scraping the old Intergrain Natural oil. The liquid stripper from Viccon is expensive but if you follow the instructions and wait for an hour after application befor pressure spraying it will… Read more

get the job done in faster time than scraping and will include much of the old covering in between the boards. When pressure spraying the liquid sort of foams up and is slippery as the old oil stain comes away. It takes quite a bit of pressure spraying but it does work I have to go back over some areas I might have missed with the pressure sprayer and then use the deep clean etc. Its best to do it on a cloudy day to prevent the liquid drying while waiting one hour to take effect. Its not cheap but I am glad I bought more than what I needed and could give a generous application to get most of it off in one go. I will still go over it all with an orbital sander to get a really nice finish with Sikkens Deck stain - wont use Intergrain again.

Worked a treat – Followed the instructions and my God it's brought up the old stain with ease. Had to obviously hit some parts with a 2nd coat of the stripper buy all in all happy with this product

Great Product – Product worked very well. A bit thick for the sprayer I purchased, so will have to work on that, but worked very will. Very happy with product and have purchased more.

Rejuvenation of rear timber decking – Great product used to strip off at least 6 former coatings efficiently & effortlessly. Following sanding and recoating with Haynes water based product original decking back to new. Very highly recommended.

Good, but will take multiple applications – I have applied one coat of the product to the deck so far and it has stripped some of the previous finish, however I will need to apply at least one more coat of the stripper, to complete the stripping

Over Rated! – Our 8 year old tallow wood deck needed stripping as the previous decking oils used by the original contractor had reacted badly. The stripper had to be used in some spots 3 times, after application of stripper and keeping it moist water blasting was ineffective and it had to be scraped first, a second application was needed, and a third in some… Read more

spots. The deck clean was applied and was fine however the deck still needed to be belt sanded and the edges done with an orbital sander. Be prepared to do a lot of work if you want it to look like new.

Didn't work well for us – We had at least six coats to get off our deck and followed the instructions. It barely came off with the pressure washer and we ended up using it and a hard bristled broom to try to scrape it off. It was a nightmare. We had to buy a second lot of the product to do it again. We still had to scrub it while pressure washing. I never want to have to do this job again. Maybe our product (Intergrain) was just hard to remove.

It just works! – What can I say other than the product just works, also I needed it last minute and delivery was lightning fast and the customer service was excellent to say the least

Product works – Put on as per instructions and it has worked!! Followed with deck rejuvenator and so far happy wirh results. Next step sanding then oil. Much cheaper option than paying professional

Excellent product – This is an excellent product for removing old stain and oils from decking, application is super easy and it’s very effective. Definitely easier than sanding. A great professional grade product

Great result – Product worked very well, still lots of work and time but way better than sanding! Had to repeat in a couple of small areas but generally very effective from one treatment.

I was sceptical but this stuff is fabulous – My deck hasn’t been maintained for over five years, some parts were oil based other added on areas of the deck were water based sealers, then add in the weathering. My deck now looks perfect.

Works exactly as advertised – I saw the social media advertisement and was a tad skeptics but desperate as the decking is too big and strip with a sander. This product worked perfectly. There was a couple small and old area that had lots of layers of old paint that just needed a quick reapplication with a paint brush. But, all in all, I’m happy to recommend the product. Also, it works best when using a high pressure house

Yes it works but a lot of effort – 45m2 Deck, Merbau, approx 13yo, multiple layers DWD (original) then Ultradeck. Yes it works but nothing like the promotional video. Multiple applications required, used 12 litres of stripper. 30 hours on 2800psi pressure 15deg nozzle, eventually able to remove 97% of coating. All the coatings on sides of decking had to be cut off with knife… Read more

when dry, stripper / washer couldn’t get into gaps sufficiently.

Stripped material can make a mess, difficult to remove from glass when dry.

Better off using a sanding machine? Stripper more sympathetic to surface undulations & nails etc however still needed belt sander to finish off before recoating.

Will use again on other decks that are newer with less coatings.

OK but left areas that could not be removed – My deck is treated pine. I had to use two applications of the stripper but still have a few areas that have old coating visible. Majority was OK but I will now need to look at sanding to get a clean finish, I am disappointed I could get the finish I was after.

Works well, beats sanding – Purchased 15lt for our 40m2 jarrah deck. More than enough for the job but was handy to be able to put it on thickly and not spread it out too thinly. Was a tricky keeping the surface moist in the sun but ended up working well and sure beat sanding. Vapours were little strong and may require a carbon mask in an semi enclosed space.

It works! – I don’t usually write reviews but this deserves one. After much pain trying another Timber Stripper, I gave in and decided to give Viccon a try. It worked like a dream and saved me hours and dollars. I wish I had found it first. Show details

Ok, but not like the advertising – I found the stripper to be quite good, and it removed a lot of the previous residue, but I had to use it twice and it didn't cover the area advertised even if I had only used it once. I am also not sure how much of the cleaning was actually done by the high pressure water hitting the deck, and how much was identical. In the end I also spent an hour or two sanding the deck with a belt sander.

Will definitely use again – Needed to redo a few areas especially around the edges near bricks, but probably my fault going a bit thin, but bricks were unaffected, 15lt drum only does about 60m2 by roller application. Also lifted paint drips from pergola previously painted.

Easy and simple – Certainly did what it stated would recommend it that’s for sure, cuts that striping work by half the time, would never make that mistake of using a water waste product ever again

Does what they claim – Bought the stripper product to use on a deck surrounding a swimming pool, multiple stain applications of all kinds used on the deck since 2006, two applications lifted most of the coats, certain spots needed a third application, peeled off like magic, have to follow instructions and keep the application moist for an hour, rejuvenator brought it back a lighter shade compared to what it was, would recommend this product, beats sanding.

Does what is says – Completely stripped my 8-year old merbau deck that had quite a few layers of water-based decking oil. Some areas needed two treatments with the stripping solution, especially vertical areas. But worked great in the end. Reviver solution is needed to treat areas that turn dark during stripping.

Amazing, bordering on magic – My deck was in such poor condition with several layers of stain, a hit with the deck stripper following the instructions transformed it back to almost new. Great product and easy to order and collect.

Timber deck stripper – Very easy to use, needed to leave it on longer than stated in the instructions & it took longer to pressure wash off, but it WORKED great in the end to give a good surface.
