Hi ,

I just completed sanding my deck and used brightened. Waited 2 days and now the weather forecast calling for rain every day for 10 days. Once the weather clears do I have to redo any of the prep steps? The deck is a porch which has a roof over it.

Sweep or blow off any dirt.

I just sanded my 12x38 deck and the forecast changed and now rain and humid, in central Ma, for the next few day. No roof its a south facing deck, pressure treated wood about 8-10 yr old, with some boards replaced before sanding.
What do I need to do: sand again after rain stops, can I use a semi-transparent stain or should I do a solid? Thank you Lucy 7/17/2020

No, you do not have to sand again. Clean and brighten for final prep and then stain with one of these brands: https://www.deckstainhelp.com/the-5-best-deck-stain-reviews-and-ratings/
