Comments (4)The better job you do at micro abrading the first coat, the more likely too that the new second Bona coat will adhere without bubbling. Don't forget to wipe everything off too. I think Bona suggests with a slightly wet soft cloth, ensure dryness, before applying second coat....See MorePainting new gate - sand between finishes?
Comments (3)Thanks John, I'll wait another day to give the Termin 8 longer to dry. It'll be 48 hours then - do I need to wait longer? It's replacing a custom garden gate, and the building of it wasn't easy.

Comments (0)Hi all, I built a pressure treated deck almost 3 years ago. The first year I applied one coat of TWP 100 Pecan stain. It looked very nice. Then the second year, after washing the dirt off with water and let dry (drier than the recommended moisture level), I applied a second coat. Shortly after that, I noticed black mildew grew between the two coats. This spring I power washed a small area to remove the black stuff and it worked. I think I removed the top coat and maybe even the original coat. What should I do now? Should I power wash the whole deck or should I just use tsp without power-washing? What did I wrong originally?

Comments (1)I have never done this before but if they call for an overnight dry time then I would go with that and then some - if it were me. You just spent 4 days working your butt of - don't push the dry time or you could risk the durability of the finish. Dry time is also affected by temperature and humidity so take that into account as well....See More- 18 years ago
