Hello we live in IL and are in middle of waiting for new wood piece to weather. Feel it’s time to move forward now and deck needed further stripping of old behr product so we did that yesterday with behr stripper. Followed by RAD brightener. But have berry stains that did not lift out of wood. What should we do? Have Armstrong stain ready to go. Thank you

Try Bleach. 1 part bleach to 4 parts water. Apply and let sit for 10 minutes and then rinse well.

If it works, you should be good to stain.

@administrator Hello, We stained last week after sanding and stripping, then brightening and the bleaching of the berry stains and 2 days of drying.  After using Armstrong Semi transparent Chestnut single coat, we are now seeing bare spots.  Should we just go over it again with stain?  Thanks.
