Applying Expert Stain & Seal. #redwoo #decks #tips

What happens here

Begin by kneeling or positioning yourself comfortably on the wooden deck surface. Dip a brush into a bucket containing the deck finish or stain, ensuring the bristles are adequately saturated but not dripping excessively. Apply the finish to the wooden planks using smooth, even strokes, working the product into the grain of the wood. The person in the video prefers this method over using a roller, stating that a brush provides superior control, which helps to avoid 'puddling' – where excess finish collects, especially on uneven surfaces or between planks. This precise application ensures an even coat and better penetration of the finish into the wood.

Goal: Evenly apply a protective or decorative finish to the wooden deck surface using a brush.
