                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[We have a 1 year old pressure treated deck, in Maryland, that gets full sun most of the day. We waited 7 months to have them come and apply a clear transparent stain. They power washed it first and it now has many cracks and it does not look good. From what I understand, I should strip it first (thought of using Defy exterior wood stripper) and then use their brightener. Then apply a stain. I like the Armstrong semi-transparent and also the TWP 1500 (more colors). <br />
	Is one a better option?  <br />
	Can I sand out the area where it is cracking before or after stripping? <br />
	If I want to reapply it in a few years will I have to go through the process of stripping the stain again? <br />
	Thanks!]]></content:encoded>
