Waiting to apply Readyseal, and it is raining

[p9142 14]

I am a homeowner. I cleaned/stripped with EFC-38 and brightened with Citralic yesterday. I am waiting to apply the readyseal in two days, but now it is raining. Do I need to clean the deck again, or will it be okay to apply the readyseal once the wood is dry?

Thanks in advance,

Patrick

No need to re- clean , wait till it's dry. What did you strip off if you don't mind me asking ( it troubles me that EFC-38 is pawned off as a weak stripper)? If it's raining, now is a good time to make sure all of the wood is absorbing the water. If it is Ready Seal will work.

Thanks, James. I used the EFC-38 as a stripper because the last time the deck had been stained was about 5 years ago. It said cleaner/stripper on the bottle, but it definitely isn't much of a stripper. Next time I will go with the HD 80.
