Recently took on the task of staining my deck. I use a cleaner and washed before getting started.  The railings and steps came out good but the floor not so much.  I used a roller and it looks like some areas got a thicker coat than others and appear tacky.   It's been only a couple days but I've read this may not go away.  I used Olympic Semi Transparent.  What are my solutions?   Strip the floor and start over ?  Wait and see if it dulls?   Thanks for the help.

Did you brush it after rolling?

I did not and I imagine that was my mistake.

Rolling stain without back brushing is bad juju

I didn't know that. Good info as I need to replace and seal my deck very soon.

Put another coat and back brush. May even out enough to to be acceptable
