What happens here
After the initial coating has been applied with the sprayer, the user transitions to using a paint roller equipped with an extension pole. They 'back-roll' over the freshly sprayed areas. This technique involves rolling over the still-wet coating to push the material deeper into the wood grain, remove any excess, and create a more uniform, brush-like finish. This process helps to eliminate potential spray marks, uneven textures, or slight puddling, resulting in a smoother and more consistent appearance.
Goal: Ensure even coating and a smooth, consistent finish by back-rolling the freshly sprayed deck coating.
