                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I have a cedar deck that I put behr stain on. I can't remember the exact type, but it was only semi transparent. 2 years later it was peeled and awful looking. I had someone power wash the deck and restore it, but there are some spots they didn't get all the old stain off. I was planning on using twp 100 but he said it wouldn't hide where some old stain didn't come up. Any suggestions on what to use that will cover but won't peel and have to be stripped in the future?  Deck is in Michigan. Thanks for the help!]]></content:encoded>
