After stripping my deck the woods seems to be peeling or continually flaking off? I finished stripping the deck earlier this week and today I applied the wood brightener. But every time I run my deck brush over the deck boards I keep seeing wood particles that flake off. Do I need to sand the whole thing now too?

It almost looks like the stripper is still working and still doing it's thing even though I washed thoughouly several times.

The deck is about 15 years old and after stripping the wood looks good and bright but it continues to flake.

Thanks

Probably need to sand. Try a floor buffer with a sanding pad for ease.
