chalky stain coming off deck

[Belmont 14]

Anyone ever heard of the stain coming off the deck a few months after its been stained...like a "chalky" residue?

You can rub the deck with your hand and its covered in a dirt/stain like chalky film.

Had a customer call about the stain coming off like a "chalky" residue. When you sit down on the deck it comes off onto their clothes, as a chalky residue.

The 7yr old cedar deck was refinished about 7 mons ago with RS medium brown.

ever heard of that or seen that happen? What causes it?

The prep work sounds like it wasnt done right.probally was applied over a dirty surface .need to see some pics of the job.It may of been the way it was cleaned and so on .

Ditto - bad prep. Wash it stripped & brightened?

Not sure the process that was used to refinish it. Just going off what the HO has showed and told me.

The deck doesnt really look that bad, but when you rub your hand on the benches and deck boards it comes off like a dusty/chalky residue...

Did you strip the deck? You could of over applied the product and a residue was left on top. Now it has no place to go except on stuff.
