How To Paint A Fence / Make An Ugly Fence Look New
What happens here
Utilize a stain brush to back-brush the stain onto the horizontal rails and the base of the fence pickets. This action ensures deep penetration of the stain into the wood grain, especially in areas where the sprayer might not provide full coverage or where a more even finish is desired. It also helps to eliminate any potential lap marks from the spraying process and creates a more uniform appearance. The brush can also be used to touch up areas or apply stain where the sprayer cannot reach.
Goal: Ensure proper stain penetration and a uniform finish on fence rails and picket bases.
