What happens here

Thoroughly stir the Expert Stain & Seal product before loading it into the sprayer. The tint in oil-based products can settle quickly, leading to inconsistent color application if not properly mixed. Start by using a wooden stir stick to scrape any settled tint from the bottom of the bucket and break it free. Then, use a drill equipped with a stir whip (like a Hyde stir whip) to mechanically mix the product until it is completely uniform in color and consistency. For larger projects involving multiple five-gallon buckets, it is recommended to 'box' them by pouring all the product into a larger container and mixing it together to ensure color consistency across the entire job. The video shows the settled tint and the process of stirring with both a stick and a drill.

Goal: Achieve a uniform consistency and color in the stain product before application.

This could be you can easily forget to do this and this could cause a whole lot of problems if you just stick your uh product down in here and begin uh drawing um stain out staying in the fence. All that stuff settled on the bottom is going to be sucking right into your sprayer and it's going to be this fence is going to be really dark in the beginning and then really light at the end of the five. So make sure and I'm going to show you get my stir stick. I can feel a lot of tint down there. So I'm going to scrape it off. I'm going to show you. This is all the tent settled on the bottom. Now, this would become Whoa. A big problem, you know, if you didn't stir that up. So, there you go. Look at all that tent. So, I'm going to break all this stuff free and then begin stirring it mechanically. So, the reason I mean, you could ask, well, why aren't you just using the whip to do that? The whip actually, it's not a flat surface, so it doesn't scrape it off the bottom. All
