What they say

Hide

spots down in the cracks. Drew's over here right behind Gamo doing the same technique. He's staining the cracks and then going in the top with memer stain. And the key is to put on a lot of the stain so it penetrates and um and adds a lot of oil to the wood itself. And the Mesmer's oil is a deep penetrating rosewood oil that actually penetrates into the wood and helps keep the wood from splitting and cracking. And um the sun has a tendency to dry out the wood pretty bad and has a tendency to make it split and crack. And adding some oil back to the wood gives it some more life. And the UV plus actually has a high concentration of milic size to keep the wood from mildoing. Also, it's a small deck that we're doing at this point in time. Got about half of it done. We're using cardboard shields around the bottom of the deck. You can see we got some rock and um concrete and curbing that we don't want to get the stain on. So, we use cardboard shields to keep the stain off those areas, too.
