Honestly, if you're changing the type of finish that is on the deck, you should strip the old one completely. The manufacturer won't back any warranties if their product is put over another one I'm sure.

Why wouldn't you just put another coat of Penofin on it? Wash it with simple green and coat it and you're all done. Use Red Label for best results. Every coat of Penofin lasts longer and longer than the last one. Rose wood oil is God's gift to the deck lover.

My thoughts exactly, Penofin is the best stuff I have ever used.
