moved into a new house With a large deck. Stain is flaking in spots and we have to replace 2 boards.
It’s a solid maroon color and we are looking to restain over it with a solid stain of a similar color.
Since we plan to use a solid - can we just clean and restain or do we need to strip and san first?
thanks

Great thanks you so much for the help!
Would you recommend a quick power wash over sanding to kick loose what’s left?

Got a sizable gift card to HD so went with Olympic Maximim solid water based stain in a similar color.
Overcast and 58°... then We got rain about 8 hours after finishing the first coat.
Some small spots are covered in many tiny bubbles. Can I sand these sections and re stain?
its possible the wood was not totally dry before stain was apllied since we had gotten rain 2 days before and it’s wet with dew every morning.

Appreciate the response...
had a full day of sun and wind today. Bubbles seemed to have worked themselves out. Left a slightly rough surface.. will lightly sand and throw down another coat if we get a few more days of sun this weekend
