lets say thompsons was applied 3-4 years ago and the wood is now gray and soaking up water that is sprinkled on it.
Is a cleaning/brightening (oxalic acid based cleaner) all that is needed or do most of you deck guys go ahead and apply a stripper then a cleaning/brightening before sealing?
just curious if most guys would want to be absolutely sure there is no trace of previous sealant and strip before sealing?
thanks
