What happens here

After the stain has been applied and dried, carefully remove the masking from the windows and doors. The presenter demonstrates a technique where the masking is rolled up so that the sticky, paint-covered side is rolled inwards, containing any residual wet stain. This prevents the messy side from touching other surfaces or sticking to the trash bag, making cleanup easier and cleaner. Once the masking is removed, the final step involves brushing SuperDeck semi-transparent stain onto the concrete footings. These footings were previously painted, but the new semi-transparent stain provides a more natural, refreshed look. He mentions that 'Bug Juice' insecticide was also added to this stain.

Goal: Cleanly remove all masking and stain the cabin's concrete footings.
