What happens here

Use an airless sprayer, specifically a Graco 695 sprayer with a 515 tip, to apply a generous, heavy coat of Sherwin-Williams Woodscapes stain onto the cedar siding. The stain is watery, so use a relatively low pressure, around 1,800 PSI, to avoid excessive overspray while still ensuring good coverage. The goal is to apply enough material so there is sufficient wet stain on the surface for immediate back-brushing and back-rolling.

Goal: Apply a heavy, even coat of stain to the main siding surface.

about doing that right now. Now, we're going to put a good heavy coat of woodscape stain on this siding. And while it's still nice and wet, you got to go back and back brush and back roll it.
