                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Hi I just refinished my deck (Full sun, PT pine, in MA) and stained it with TWP 1500. I am going to replace my stairs and have bought new PT pine to replace the old PT pine.<br />
	<br />
	Most sites, including this one, say to wait 1-2 months before preparing and staining the new wood.<br />
	<br />
	The TWP 1500 package says to wait 4-12 months.<br />
	<br />
	Do you think I should listen to the TWP or follow the 1-2 months?<br />
	<br />
	Will the new wood age more quickly in the sun?<br />
	<br />
	Thanks.]]></content:encoded>
