can a lap mark be fixed/rubbed out? I’d like to first start out by thanking EVERYONE whose threads, posts I’ve been reading over the last three years. If it weren’t for you, this site and willingness of everyone to share their knowledge my learning curve would have been a heck of a lot longer and I would have had a LOT less trials then errors. The experience I’ve gained from three years of pouring over EVERY thread and applying what I learned was invaluable. Saying that, I have my first dilemma and hope someone may have a solution. I stripped a rather large cedar deck last week that had a Behr semi-trans on it(amazing what they call semi..) deck looked fabulous when complete.. However, the day I stained it the weather started off warm and only got warmer then blistering hot... so by the time I was on the last 400 sq. ft. of decking the wood was baking and I was only able to stain 2 lengths of boards at a time(airless w/back padding) there is one small area where the stain literally dried before I could get back to continue the padding(30-40 seconds) thus causing a lap mark, can this be fixed? Can I rub it down with lacquer thinner to try and smooth/blend it? The stain was a oxford brown, Olympic Maximum semi… any insight would be greatly appreciated… And again thank you ALL ….
