What happens here
Immediately following the spray application, a second person, also wearing full protective gear (coveralls, respirator, safety glasses), uses a paint roller attached to an extension pole to 'back-roll' the freshly sprayed areas of the wooden fence. This technique involves moving the roller over the wet stain to push it deeper into the wood grain, evenly distribute any excess material, and eliminate potential drips, runs, or uneven spots. The back-rolling ensures a more uniform, professional finish and enhances the stain's penetration and adhesion to the wood.
Goal: Achieve a uniform, drip-free stain finish with deep wood penetration.
