How to remove new stain from deck?

Question

Contractor screwed up our new deck with streaky stain that was put on too thick. It is also still sticky after 2 weeks. What is the best/easiest way to remove stain from our new deck?

Answer 1

I don't believe there is an easy way, the stain is in the wood.try to pressure wash let dry then sand down to past where the stain penetrated to. if this is not acceptable or cost prohibitive you are going to have to replace the wood.
