Last summer my deck was in desperate need of repair. The stain was worn thin and the wood was starting to show through. I decided that since I didn't want to do this very often, I would do it right the first time. I spent an inordinate amount of time stripping, prepping and staining the deck. Much to my dismay when the winter's snow melted away, this is what I found.
So once again I found myself with a summer deck project in front of me. I had used a waterborne stain, so this time I opted to strip as bare as I could, and go with an oil based stain (and a different manufacturer).
With some help from my lovely assistant, we now have a lovely outcome. I'm feeling better about this application. I sure hope we don't have a nasty surprise come spring!
