	Thank you. 
	Alternatively, could we hold off he second round of brightening and the staining for another 10 days? Yes this should be okay.]]></description>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Hello, <br />
	We used the Gemini Deck cleaner and brightener yesterday.<br />
	My husband had to work on the deck partly after the sun went down and had poor visibility.<br />
	Unfortunately it shows - please see pics.<br />
	What is your recommendation?<br />
	Wet and brighten the deck again during daylight time?<br />
	We had planned to stain the deck on Thursday as we'll go on vacation for a week on Friday.<br />
	I assume it's not a great idea to just stain it (with Dark Oak) as is, correct?<br />
	Your advise is greatly appreciated.<br />
	Thanks,<br />
