Do I let it dry and then spray it evenly?

 

Thanks so much for this guidance!

I would like to find the right color tone before ordering 10 gallons of whatever product online.

1. Two weeks. 
2. You can use TWP 1500 Series for CO and it is oil based.

I have two more questions. 

1. how much time can I leave the wood prepped (stripper and conditioner) before I stain?

I'm still having trouble deciding what semitransparent stain to buy. Which leads me to my next question.

I live in denver and the house faces south. This weather and uv rays eat up paint and stain. So which oil based semi transparent would you suggest. We cant use TWP in CO. Any other ideas? Thanks for all the help!

Respectfully,

George

See here for tips on stain strippers:

Once fully removed, use a proper penetrating stain so it does not peel again:
