I have a rooftop deck that the prior owner applied Deck Over to. In addition 3-4 boards had to be replaced with new PT lumber. I was planning to flip the existing boards over and staining the entire deck with Armstrong-Clark semi-solid Sequoia (I believe this best match the color between old and new boards?).
For prep, can I simply use Restore-a-deck cleaner/whitener or should I sand the boards? Given I have some new boards (~1-2 weeks old), how long should I wait before staining?

Is there any way I can avoid waiting 3-6 months for the new boards? Since it's only a couple of boards could I replace them with kiln dried boards and then stain right away? I just hate having to wait until Sept/Oct since our first born is due around then.
Thanks for the help!

Ok, makes sense. Are there any issues with staining in Sept/Oct when it is cooler outside (50 - 60 F) ?
