Cedar deck finish - help please

11 years ago

We installed a new cedar deck at our Maine island cottage last summer. It was coated with one coat of Sikkens Cetol SRD Translucent Wood Finish. We just had a contractor clean it and apply a second coat. By mistake he used two different finishes - one is the remainder of what we used last year, the other is labeled "Translucent Matte Wood Finish." Weirdly the deck is now incredibly shiny (almost furniture like) in some areas and matte finished looking in other areas. We weren't at the cottage so can't figure out exactly what happened, but have NO idea what to do next. Railings and stairs not yet done, but also concerned about the shiny finish either peeling or being slippery. This is not a fancy home but we do care, and especially care about not setting ourselves up for more trouble ahead. Obviously good and experienced help is hard to find here... Thanks!
