Sorry for the ? but i searched the forum and couldnt find anything about it.
I stained a deck about 13-14 months ago and i just had that customer call back and state that the stain is peeling in places on the deck floor. I went out today and checked it out and its peeling in the high traffic areas. I used cabots semi trans. I did the five step process of stip,brighten,wash,sand, and stain. I'm thinking that i stained it when it was to hot and the stain dried before it could soak into the wood. I used HD-80 to strip, Ox mixed with Citric to brighten, dawn to clean, 80grit to sand, and roller and brush to stain.
I just wanted some opinions as to what happened. I think maybe the heat or could it be that the 80 grit clogged up the pores in the wood. Also i checked several places on the deck floor and it seemed as most places the stain was on top of the wood.
Need all the help i can get so this wont happen again. Also im doing the pro thing as in restaining the deck free of charge
Thanks
