So I was trying to stain some old unstained decking a nice pale green shade, and tried some Ronseal Ultimate Protection decking stain in 'sage'.
It was only after doing a first coat, letting it dry, and then starting to do a second one, that I realised my definition of 'pale green' differs from that used by Ronseal. My decking glows in the dark!
After looking into it a bit more, I think 'willow' might be more the colour I would need - it's a little darker.
Given it's a slightly darker shade of the same product, do I need to still strip the decking down, or could I just go over it a few times with this slightly darker shade? The wood was bare before so it's still drinking up stain. Or, if I need to strip it....how on earth do I strip freshly stained, grooved decking? Or could I just use 'rescue paint'?
