What happens here

For areas of the house siding that are heavily weathered or "beat up pretty bad from the sun" and have existing stain worn off, a specific technique is employed. Initially, a light coat of stain is sprayed onto these spots to act as a pre-prime. Following this, a heavy coat is applied using a stain brush and immediately back-brushed to ensure deep penetration into the wood. This process might require multiple coats, typically around three, to achieve proper coverage and durability. The initial back-brushing focuses on working the stain into any bare wood.

Goal: Apply stain to heavily weathered sections, ensuring deep penetration

What they say

Hide

house, the deck, and the fence. This side of the house is is actually beat up pretty bad from the sun. And we sprayed some stain on here. sprayed a coat just to kind of pre- prime it. Now we're actually going back and back brushing a heavy coat and then we're going to come back over that and spray and back brush it again. [Music] Right now I'm just actually pre-back brushing some of the spots on the siding that don't have any of the stain on it previously that's all worn off. That's going to take multiple coats. It's typically going to be about three coats. I'm gonna back brush some over that. Then we're going to come back and spray and back brush. And then we'll spray our final coat.
