Having said that, we know that Mother Nature does not always cooperate. If it does rain and you get rain spots on your deck you can try the tips below.
- First try to remove rain spots using a rag soaked in mineral spirits and then lightly rub the wood. This should take care of the spotting.
- If mineral spirits does not work you can wait 6 months to reapply the stain. (you have to wait for the pours of the wood to open again so stain will absorb - otherwise it will lay on top and could peal off)
- If waiting is not an option - you can use our Restore your Deck kit that will strip off the stain and allow you to recoat. Click the button below to purchase the Restore your Deck Kit.
