What happens here

This step focuses on the primary method of staining the house siding: a two-person team approach involving spraying and immediate back-brushing. One crew member, using an airless spray gun with a Graco X515 tip, applies a consistent coat of stain to a section of the siding. Directly behind them, another crew member follows with a quality stain brush to back-brush the freshly sprayed stain. This technique ensures maximum penetration of the stain into the wood, especially for textured surfaces like wood siding, which helps extend the life of both the stain and the wood itself. Once the first coat has been sprayed and back-brushed, a second coat is applied by spraying only, without the need for further back-brushing, as this serves as the final protective layer.

Goal: Efficiently apply stain with deep penetration and a smooth finish

final coat. [Music] and I'm going to show you the process of spraying and back brushing this house so you get a lot more life out of the stain and a lot more life out of the wood. So, here we go. We're out here. We got John on the spray gun. I'm back brushing right behind him as he's spraying and we're going to show you that process. [Music] And I've got my stain brush right here. We're just using a nice, good quality stain brush. And right here, you can see the stain brush that John uh is actually spraying doing the spraying using a Graco Rack 515 tip. And we're on our second coat right now. I'm not back brushing the second coat. I'm going ahead of him right now and back brushing some of the first coat before he's getting to the second coat. So, we'll get done with this first coat on the front side of the house. We're going to be moving to the back side of the house. Doing the first coat. We'll show you that back brushing process on the first coat. So, we've already sprayed the first coat, back brushed the first coat of this solid color stain on this woodsided house. Now, we got John going back and spraying a second coat over the top of that. And we won't be back brushing that coat. That will be our final coat. [Music]
