What happens here
It's important to find the correct pace for sending lumber through the staining machine. If the boards are fed too quickly, or if the stain valves are not open sufficiently, the boards may emerge dry on certain sides, requiring additional back-brushing. A proper pace allows the stain to 'flood' or 'spill out' slightly on the front of the board as it enters the rollers, indicating that the wood is completely saturated on all sides (front, back, and edges). The presenter typically sets the valves halfway open and adjusts the feeding pace to achieve this visual indicator of full saturation.
Goal: Learn to maintain a proper and consistent pace when feeding lumber to achieve complete saturation and prevent dry spots or excessive back-brushing.
