advice on re-staining a deck
I bought a house with a very large deck that needs re-staining. The existing stain is flaking down to the bare wood...pretty unsightly. It's a solid color stain. I guess i have to remove all of it before re-staining...would I use a paint stripper?...would I sand?...should I just reface and save the headache>
Deck is approx 20' x 60'
thanks in advance

Generally, stains do not flake.
Some solid colors stains may flake, and it will be very similar to a painted surface.
My commercial p/w would have a problem removing a solid stain/paint.
But it is worth a try before any caustics would be needed.
