                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Hello all,<br />
	I am looking at restaining my deck this year after stripping and brightening, and was wondering what the best way to apply new stain is.  I have brushed on in the past, along with rollers.  I have heard of using a pump sprayer as well, or application pads.  Does anyone have a recommended method to achieve the best, most uniform results?  Also, is it best to apply on an overcast day, or can it be done under full sun?  I am looking at applying the TWP 100 stain.<br />
	Thanks!]]></content:encoded>
