Refinishing our Deck

11/29/2018

I had some vacation time schedule for the end of June this year, so what better to do than refinish our deck!  We had built the deck in early 2016, left it unfinished all Spring and Summer long, with a southern exposure, which baked the wood to needing stain rather quickly.  I used the water drop method to decide when the neck needed to be finished, and it was ready (Use a drop of water, if it beads up, then the original wood treatment is still working.  If the water soaks in, it's time for stain).  

At that time, we used a good (or so we thought) Olympic Elite Semi-Transparent stain to put down.  The stain went on well with a nice light coat.  The rest of the Fall the stain worked really well for us.  Then came Winter, and eventually Spring, which is when we realized we had made a mistake...
