What happens here

Begin by using a paint sprayer to apply the black stain to a section of the fence. As shown in the video, one person can spray while another immediately follows with a back-brush to work the stain into the wood. This technique ensures proper penetration of the oil-based stain into the wood grain, which is crucial for durability and an even finish. Work in small, manageable sections to prevent the stain from drying before it can be properly back-brushed.

Goal: Apply an even coat of stain and ensure maximum penetration into the wood.
