I'm staining a new deck that has treated wood (pine I think)...the usual boards you get at Lowes, etc. A couple of boards on the steps has what I think is sap oozing from them. Its an aqua-colored greenish stick material, so I think its sap. I don't know what to do with this or if anything can be done. I have not stained those boards yet. After reading some I think perhaps I should have waited several months to stain but the contractor said it was ok to do so. Anyway, its all stained now except for the steps. What about this "sap"?

There is not much you can do to stop sap oozing. At least we have never been able to prevent this or clean it off without removing the stain as well.
