What happens here

Systematically apply the black stain to the fence pickets using the paint sprayer. Immediately following the sprayer, a second person will use a back-brush or roller on an extension pole to work the stain deeply into the wood grain. This 'back-brushing' technique is essential for achieving optimal penetration and ensuring thorough, even coverage. It also helps to eliminate drips by spreading any excess material evenly across the surface.

Goal: Achieve optimal stain penetration and even coverage using a combined spray and back-brush technique.
