When they occur, it will time to do a full restoration.

You would have to remove all old stain and start over with an even coat.

My problem is that this bare area hardly changed color at all.  It basically still looks bare with a very light coating of deck stain that looks more like transparent which this color is not.  So after my 2 coats I went back to the hardware store and had them mix my can using their machine.  I then tried another small bare spot area using the same procedure as above.  Same problem, the colored stain barely covers that bare spot.  Any suggestions please.
