Hello! I just recently stained my new deck (new being that it was built last summer, so plenty of time for it to sit). I stained it yesterday using the Cabot Semi-Solid Stain + Sealer.

The issue: the color came out way more red than we had originally anticipated after drying and it look terrible. The stain says it’s a one coat stain.

The deck is pressure treated lumber, and took the first coat fairly well with only a few tacky spots that I may have applied a little too thick on.

Heres my question: would I be able to buy a new, darker stain to go over the one I just put on? Or will I need to strip the entire deck of the stain that I just put on before applying a new one?
