Hi, I have a relatively new fence I'm hoping to stain before the rains come in the fall. At that point the fence would only be 4months old. The website recommends restore-a-deck for new wood, and that's what I'm thinking, but want to plan ahead for the next treatment.
First, I've heard that water-based stains don't recoat well, requiring a strip before recoat. Is this true for restore-a-deck?
Second, I'm curious about the top rated TWP 100, but it's not recommended for new wood. Would it be possible to recoat the TWP oil based stain over the restore-a-deck in a few years?
Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

Can oil based be used over each other for upcoming application, like TWP over Armstrong & vice versa, or same for water eg. Defy over RAD?
I'm actually curious to try water-based as I've only used big box store oil stains in the past. But for a DIY-selfer, do you have to be quick to wet-over-wet since drying time is fast? I'm not a fast worker. Or any other such considerations for us rank amateurs?
Much thanks.
