We installed a new redwood deck 3 months ago. Last weekend we unfortunately applied 2 coats of behr deck stain (we did not research before staining!) it was a warm day, we applied the first coat, waited 2 hours then applied second coat. One week later, the deck looks horrible. The color is uneven, the deck feels sticky, some areas still look wet, other areas look faded. Help, what can we do???
Thank you.

It is not going to be easy to fix this newly applied Behr stain. Strippers have a hard time with Behr and even more so when just applied. You can strip some but you will need to sand as well. Try the RAD stain Stripper.

At least you do not have to strip railings!
