I need a recommendation for a solid stain to refinish my deck. I know from the previous owner that he used a water based UV protected stain with a redwood tint. He doesn't remember what exact stain he used, but it looks like it was a solid one. So, please help with a recommendation for a redwood solid stain... I would like to go with a Defy water based one, but could not find any solid, only semi-transparent. Deck information:

1. State you live in: Northern VA
2. Full Shade, Partial Shade, or Full Sun: Full Sun
3. Type of Wood: Redwood
4. Mold or Mildew Issues: Few spots
5. Main Issues with Previous Stains: Worn out

Also, have another question: I am planning to sand the entire deck. Do I still need to power wash it, or is sanding enough?

Thank you!]]> Deck Stain Questions and Answers Danny https://forum.deckstainhelp.com/deck-stain-questions-and-answers/solid-stain-recommendation-needed/#post-7536
