A neat little trick that a Pro Painter Taught Me! #painting
What happens here
Begin by thoroughly wetting down the concrete or ground surrounding the wooden structure using a garden hose. This helps a thin plastic drop cloth adhere better to the surface, preventing it from blowing away in the wind and providing optimal protection against stain drips or spills. Once the concrete is wet, carefully lay the plastic drop cloths over the entire area to be protected, ensuring there are no exposed sections where stain could land.
Goal: Protect the surrounding concrete/ground from wood stain.
