    Sanding can be used but do not sand finer than 60-80 grit. Too fine of sanding and the TWP cannot soak into the wood grain.

  Hi:I have a question that I think I know the answer to, but I’ll ask it anyway. We put the deck stain on the day after sanding,(weather said 0 chance of rain), but 3 hrs after application, we had not a shower , but a deluge! Tried blowing the excess water off , but 4 days later, it’s still tacky. Will we have to re-sand and re-apply??Thanks

    If it does not cure/dry in a week then you'll have to strip and brighten for prep to remove:https://www.twpstain.com/restore-a-deck-stripper-brightener-kit-detail
    
    Sanding is not the correct way to prep as it can reduce the TWP's ability to properly soak into the wood.

    You would need the TWP 300 Series for bamboo and we do not sell it on our website.
