A neat little trick that a Pro Painter Taught Me! #painting
What happens here
Dip a large, wide paint brush into the prepared stain, allowing it to soak up a good amount. Tap off any excess stain against the side of the pail. Starting with the lower wooden posts of the structure, apply the stain using long, even strokes, following the grain of the wood. Ensure complete coverage, working the stain into all surfaces, including edges and corners. Pay attention to avoiding drips or runs, especially on the protected pier bases.
Goal: Apply an even coat of stain to the accessible lower wooden posts.
