Just use the same for all. Much easier.

Best to sand this off to remove fully. Once done, clean and brighten for the final prep and then stain with a stain like the Restore A Deck Wood Stains

Deck Location State: up state ny

Full Sun, Partial Shade, Full Shade: Full Sun : Pressure treated( southern yellow pine i think)

Mold or Mildew Issues: No

The reason for Previous Stain Failure: solid stain is peeling badly ; less than 2 years

Previous Coating? If so brand name and type of stain (Transparent, Semi-transparent, Semi-solid, Solid Stain): solid stain latex from Ace hardware. not sure of brand

I want to strip; power wash to get it to bare wood; and use a semi transparent stain..  What would you recommend.  Will the restore a deck wood stain work for this application?
