                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I've purchased the stripper, brightener and stain for a deck I'm working on. The recommendation is to wait 3 days after stripping for the deck to dry, and 3 days after staining. I don't recall but presumably 3 days after applying the brightener as well. <br />
	<br />
	The problem I've run into is getting at least 7 consecutive clear, warm days, that also corresponds with my other job schedules.<br />
	<br />
	Can I do a step (aside from the stain drying 3 days,) such as the stripping, then if it rains the next day, can I just wait for 3 clear days after this?<br />
