What happens here

During the staining process, especially with rough-sawn lumber or even smooth deck boards, sawdust and other wood particles can get into the excess stain that drips down into the reclaim bucket. To prevent these impurities from clogging the machine's petcock valves or recirculating into the clean stain, it is essential to place a bucket-top strainer on the reclaim bucket. Any stain poured back into the machine's main reservoir should first pass through this strainer.

Goal: Always use a strainer on the reclaim bucket to filter out sawdust and wood particles from returned stain before reuse, preventing clogs.
