Yea, I'm new. Yea, I'm trying to learn. But mostly by my screw-ups. Stained about 800 sq. ft. the other evening. That night blew in a frog-strangler that
even the weather men did'nt know was coming. Everyone was caught off guard by it. By the time I could get there next day, water was all beaded
up, but looks like some patches are water stained(darker). Dried it off best I
could with a squeegee and a mop. Any way to save this mess? I'm considering
another coat of the oil-based semi-transparent but thought I might consult
the experts to see if that would do more harm than good. Other option is to
discount the job to the customer. Also, like a fool, I neglected to notice that
the floor of this deck(which has been treated a couple of times before)is NOT
pressure treated. It's just plain yellow pine. I did'nt even know they made 5/4
boards that were'nt pressure treated. I don't really like the way any of this
has turned out(even where there's no apparent water stains), and am wondering if that might be part of the problem. The whole thing just looks
crappy to me. Any advice or beatings appreciated.
