As long as the stained surface is porous and in some cases has weathered for at least 6 months you should be able to. Follow all manufacturers directions though to be sure. You can check if it is porous by spraying it with water. If the water beads, no need to waterproof it. If it soaks in, it should accept a water proofer.
Use a roller or staining pad to apply the oil or water-based semi-transparent stain. Go in the direction of the grain and do not allow the stain to puddle.
Most solid color stains are water-based, and most semi-transparent stains are oil-based - therefore, you cannot mix the two together for good results. If you are not sure which variety you have, check the label for "cleanup" instructions. Oil-based stains will require mineral spirits for cleanup. Water-based stains require soap and water only.
