Wipe Off Excess Stain

to keep the stain off those areas, too. Once the deck is done, it should be look heavily coated. And if there's any heavy spots that are still wet after about an hour, what you want to do is take and wipe those spots off with a rag. Cuz if you don't wipe them off and they're still wet, they'll stay tacky for several weeks and collect dust. And you just wipe them off so it's there's nothing standing, no standing puddles of stain on the deck. This is Chris from BNK Painting with Drew and Gamo staining a deck, showing you how to stain a deck.
