How to Properly Maintain a Wood Fence for Lifetime Durability | Expert Stain and Seal Tips

What happens here

Before starting the application, gather and put on the necessary personal protective equipment. This includes a Tyvek suit, also referred to as a 'monkey suit,' to protect clothing from the oil-based product. Additionally, wear black Raven gloves underneath green gloves for added protection, as the oil can seep through some gloves. Lastly, put on a respirator with organic vapor cartridges to protect against inhaling fumes from the oil-based product. The video demonstrates putting on the gloves, the Tyvek suit, securing loose areas of the suit with orange frog tape around the wrists and waist, and finally, donning the respirator.

Goal: Ensure full personal protection from oil-based stain and fumes during application.

What they say

Hide

product. So, whenever I'm working with oil based products, doing fences, I always wear we call a monkey suit, Tyveck suit. I'll wear a respirator. Uh, anytime I'm spraying oilbased products, I typically wear a respirator with um, vapor organic vapor uh, mask on them. Uh, activated charcoal filters on it. I don't use just a P95 or N95 filter on there, which I typically would if I'm just spraying the exterior. You got to stir your product up. Um, the product's sitting for a while, the tent settles really, really fast. You definitely want to use a stir stick to scrape up because it'll settle down to the bottom and get pretty hard. use a stir stick to scrape everything off the bottom and get it um broken free. Then I'll just take a drill and I put a stir whip. I like using just a hide stir whip to begin um stirring that tent in there. Get it mixed in really really well. If you're doing a large fence, um a huge subdivision or something like that, definitely want to like stir it occasionally cuz this tent does settle pretty fast. We got a short fence. I'm not going to have to worry about it here, but the tint will settle and you'll begin drawing the tint that's settling off the bottom. And then by the time you get to the end of a five, the color could be different. It could be lighter. You've sucked up a lot of the tint that's been settling while you're spraying. I always wear gloves whenever I'm using expert stain and seal oil products. I typically wear gloves and I use Raven gloves. I put underneath these gloves right here that way cuz uh the oils actually could seep right through these gloves. But I like using these for grip. You can see I already got oil on my hands. I just don't want that getting on my hands. And I'll get in my suit, my protective suit, cuz I don't want to get any oil on me cuz it doesn't wash out of your clothes. Well, neither does paint for that matter. But so I'm getting ready to spray here and I'm just see I'm wrapping some tape around my suit. I don't like the suits how puffy and baggy they are. I buy um extremely large suits so I can just not have to take my shoes off. I can slip right into them easily. But then they're really baggy. So wrap tape around it tightens it up and now it's not going to be touching things getting in the way of things. So just kind of simple little tip. I just use an orange frog tape just to wrap the suit
