                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I prepared my deck for sealing/staining with TWP 100 about 6 weeks ago.  the deck had had little attention for 40 years, had some residual paint, and was very weathered-hence sanding was required.  it has been raining 3-4x week since the initial prep.   I am hoping for some drier weather in August.  That will mean 2 months since initial prep.  Given this time lag, are additional steps needed before applying the TWP 100?</p>]]></content:encoded>
