	My plan of attack should then be (?):<br />
	1.  Strip with RAD stripper<br />
	2.  Let dry<br />
	3.  Spot sand problem areas<br />
	4.  Brighten<br />
	5.  Let dry<br />
	6.  Apply stain<br />
	Thanks again!<br />]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I am planning on stripping the terrible finish of Olympic semi-transparent oil-based stain off my deck this year.  I plan on using the RAD stripper based on reviews.  If I am correct, I can spray on with a pump sprayer (I have no pressure washer).  Should I also scrub with a deck brush as it is applied?  How long should it sit to strip adequately?  I plan on using the RAD brightener afterwards as well.  Any tips on applying or using this?<br />
	Great site by the way!  Been very helpful already!]]></content:encoded>
