Thanks for the replies guys. The stain on the lodge is dark brown. I've been hoping to avoid bleaching as I don't won't to damage the wood nor do any sanding (if it can be avoided.)
I may try a test patch of staining over it then make a decision.
I know its not the same situation but we had a product called Clear Wood Finnish(CWF) by Flood on the outside of our house and I stripped in off with a 50/50 mix of greased lightning bought from Lowes and water. Spray it on, let set for 10-15 minutes and pressure wash it off. worked great!
I have the same stuff on my house and would like to take off some of the areas on the South side that have really darkened over the last 25 years. How did it do on really dark areas and what did you put down on yours after you stripped it?
It seemed take it back to bare wood with minimal darkening, and then I put on a product called Wood Guard.it is a penetrating finish not a surface coating click here
