Hi - Just published a course in Storyline and uploaded to our LMS (ISOTrain). Getting the message Unable to acquire LMS API - content may not play properly.. I noticed a lot of postings about this error with Articulate Presenter -- but I wonder if you could please clarify something for me.
Some stain manufacturers suggest you should wait 3-12 months to let the wood dry while others say to stain the deck right away. The answer can be both just as long as you prep the new wood properly for an application of the stain. We are going to explain both scenarios and the proper steps to take. Let the New Deck Dry and Weather for 3-12 Months: Most common suggestion by manufacturer.
To achieve a darker stain color, use coarser grit of sandpaper (#150-#180) on the last sanding you do prior to staining. This will help the wood absorb more color. You can also leave the wet stain on the wood for longer before you wipe away the excess - sometimes as long as 15 minutes. This may help you achieve a deeper color. Note: check the label directions for the particular stain you're using to see the maximum time you can wait before wiping off the excess stain.
