One more question regarding the left over stain. I have 3/4 of the can left. How long can I keep it in order to use it again? Any particular way of keeping (temperature,...)?]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I live in Toronto. My deck and a fence constructed from PT boards 4 years ago have 4 - 5 hrs of sun per day. 3 years ago I used Behr clear transparent water based stain. After 3 years fence is still looking ok and a deck peeled. I pressured cleaned the deck and sanded it and will use the same stain again. I also wanted to refresh the fence.
I used a very low pressure just to clean the dust and dirt from the fence. Can I stain the fence over the old stain?

Also after sanding the deck I cleaned the dust from the deck with low pressure. How much time should I allow for a deck to dry?

Thanks,
SP]]></content:encoded>
