I've stained my 5-year old cedar deck with Sikkens Natural Light Cetol
SRD-996 twice, but it doesn't wear well. Last spring, I power sanded the
thick gray film down to bare wood and restained. It looked beautiful. But
by fall, a grayish film was there again, although not as thick as before. The
deck will need to be sanded and restained next spring. Is there a cedar
stain that will hold up better? We live in Minnesota.

Thanks!
Scott
