What happens here

Carefully pour a liberal amount of Behr Premium Deck & Stain Remover into the Handy Paint Tray. Using the poly-blend foam deck roller, apply the stripper evenly across the main deck surfaces. For edges, corners, and areas around posts, use the oil-based stain paint brush to ensure thorough coverage. The chemical is designed to work best with a dwell time of 15 to 45 minutes, allowing it to penetrate and release the old stain. Crucially, avoid applying in direct sunlight, and keep the treated areas moist by lightly misting with a garden hose to prevent the chemical from drying out. You will observe a 'filament' rising to the surface and frothing as the stripper begins to activate and break down the old stain.

Goal: Apply the stain stripper evenly and keep it active to break down the old stain.
