	I stained my deck last weekend and it rained a few days after.  I notice that there is water pooling on top of the deck board while other boards have none.  Is there any benefit to draining the pooling water?  For example, would there be any benefit to the durability of the stain if I were to drill a small hole (1/16" diameter) in the deck board to reduce the pooling?]]></content:encoded>
