So we're supposed to have our first deck cleaning tomorrow, but it's been raining out. The deck is just grey and warn no stain on it so we should still be able to clean it tomorrow with sodium percarbonate. But my question is when it comes to sending should you wait for the wood to be completely dry? I know for staining we want it to be to a certain moisture content but not sure what percent and if it was the same for sanding. A little help would be great!

I always wait for the wood to dry before I sand. You kinda have to. hard to sand wet wood. ####### did you ever get that copy of a invoice I sent you?#####
 
Ready seal should be very easy to apply. Basically goof-proof from what I have heard from others. If you have any problems feel free to call me and I will help you out. Two tips that I can give you is do it board by board and do complete laps. If you have to stop feather your edges.
 
I do use Ready Seal, in fact that and Armstrong Clark are the only ones I use. Like Matthew said they are pretty easy to use so don't stress to bad. Your prep is key. if you do not prep correctly you might as well not do it. I think Going easy at first and adding more is the way to go over putting down way to much and trying to move it around. The true color will not show for a week or two. Like the poster above feel free to call if needed.
