                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Hello kind folks, please offer advice on products to prep and stain the floor of outside balcony in busy New York City neighborhood (high rise apt deck)<br />
	<br />
	Wood type:   Preserve Plus ACQ - above ground (pine, I think)<br />
	Age:         Installed in late June '12<br />
	Other info:  Wood planks are 5-5.5" wide.  Portion gets some morning sunlight:  otherwise, shady.   <br />
	<br />
	<br />
	Want to protect it from harsh N.East winter conditions and hot summers... while giving minimal stain color (non orange) and keep the grain showing through.<br />
	<br />
	Thank you for the help.]]></content:encoded>
