What happens here

Begin by assessing the current state of the deck. The existing stain, a Cabot outdoor oil-based product applied two years prior, has faded, showed an undesired orange hue, and proved to be less durable than expected. The goal is to completely strip this old stain and prepare the deck for a new finish from scratch.

Goal: Identify issues with the old deck stain and decide on complete stripping.

What they say

folks so this is the deck that we stain exactly two years ago there's a product called Cabot it's an outdoor oil-based stain two things we didn't like about it number one it only lasted two years and number two it was a little too orange that the sample piece I was in the store did not look anything like the actual product itself once we laid it on the wood little too orange and it was too late to turn back so we decided to give it a go with the hope set it'll settle down and it did so in this situation we're gonna strip it all down and start from scratch all over again now the
