Hi folks,
I have a rooftop deck. Door is off to one side in the center. Boards are perpendicular to the door.
If I need to apply an oil based stain (Penofin or TWP maybe) and return after initial application 15 min later to wipe it down (removing excess), how do I plan this application process so I can exit the deck? 🙂
Can I stand on the wet surface of a section done just before the final boards so I can wipe down the last section of boards leading to the door? Or will that leave footprints?
Thank you!

Alternatively I could do one half of the deck one day and the other half the next, with the door in the center. Do you think I'd run any risk of mismatching finish?

Bummer! Do you think this is a high risk that it will be very noticeable? As I lay out steps to do the job, I'm finding that it would be significantly easier for me to do it in two halves (start on one end, work to the door, wait a day or two, start from the opposite end, work to the door).
A two part approach would 1) save me the effort of deconstructing my grill and furniture which would be a huge time-saver because I could move the furniture on the newly finished part a day or two after I apply, 2) it would eliminate my concern about how to wipe-down the final section in the center as I depart the deck, and 3) it would also save me the need to be helivaced off the roof! 🙂
Would it be a big mistake? Think I need to brainstorm some other way? Thanks so much for your help!
