Working on a deck that the owner treated last go-around. Appears that he may have applied the oil-based stain in direct sunlight and in some isolated
places, it is sitting there kind of raised up and blotchy looking. Used a cleaner
on it and the deck looks good and ready except for these patches of ugliness.
Could make the assumption that the best thing for me to do would be to
simply use a stripper on these spots although I think this will leave light
patches and possibly show through the new finish. Of course the best option
would be to strip the whole deck, but frankly, aside from these spots, it
does'nt appear necessary. I'm no grand master at this, so any suggestions
are appreciated. Deck is ordinary pressure treated, and the old stain is semi-trans oil base. Thanks
