some jerk messed up my deck last year by using an acrylic stain and doing it WAY too thick so it failed.  😝 

ive stripped it and brightened it and gone over and sanded away the stubborn parts. This looks super uneven though in places (attached).  Should I do another course of brightener?

Using just brighten will not even this out. We would let it sit for 1-3 months to let it naturally weather and then final prep with a deck cleaner, pressure washing, and the brightener.
