I want to thank you guys! We are doing what you both suggested in a fashion.
We are having the old stain removed. And going with semi-transparent. Now it is the shade of color in the stain that we have to decide on, so it looks like cedar. We do not want red cedar. We bought one quart of one shade to try on today. If we do not think it is the right shade we will go get another quart...smile ...till we get a good shade.
God Bless!
