I plan to re apply and stiff brush it in this 2nd time. leave on for a full 30minutes and then power wash it off. Any other suggestions? Thanks

I'm building a new porch addition at a lake house in upstate SC. I'm working with new untreated white pine on the ceiling of the porch and beams. I need to know what is the best exterior stain for unfinished white pine, in a high humidity area and I won't be able to wait 6-12 months for the wood to acclimate.

Make sure to sand all wood evenly at 60-80 grit when done, so it stains evenly. Cleaning and brightening after sanding is best.
