Help! We stained our deck with a solid stain and allowed it to cure properly. Applied a clear sealant on top and shortly after application, white blotches started showing up.
What do I do now?
You can never apply a sealer over a deck stain so you will have to remove it by stripping and or sanding. You will probably have to restain after as well.
That stinks! So, what's the purpose of a sealant then if not to seal a stain? The directions on the sealant said it could be applied on top of a stain?
Sealers seal unstained wood, never stained wood. Also, deck stains have water repellent properties as well so no need.
