I stained/sealed the deck and the two different cans very evidently contain entirely different types and colors of stain. I was hoping they'd look more similar as they dried, but no, they don't. yes, i should have "mixed them" but I wasn't entirely sure I'd even need the second can...... and I thought it would just be a slight shade difference at worst. wrong. (They are the same brand, same color, but a couple of years apart... the 3/4 can left from last time wasn't quite enough....) the old one is darker and shiny, the new one is light and matt.
groove scorched. but at least the fucker's ready for winter, even if it looks horrible. (The join is weird because I worked so as to do the bit the cats use most first, while I was there to defend it, and then i did the farthest bits and worked in towards the door.....)
it's really fucked up.
