Deck tacky in mornings and while damp

26 days ago

My deck was newly constructed over the summer with redish cedar planks. after 2 months of weathering, they were starting to split and splinter even more around the screws. I had our

house painters stain the deck. First they cleaned it with Olympic Deck Cleaner, then applied Behr Premium transparent waterproofing wood finish. One coat, overnight dry, and applied second coat next day. This was 4 weeks ago. When there is no trace of dampness, surface is fine. But in the mornings and anytime the deck is damp after rain, the surface is tacky under my feet. where did we go wrong? and how to fix it at this point?
