Stain A Fence FAST. Fence Painting from A to Z.

What happens here

Begin spraying the fence sections. The technique involves spraying a section of the fence (e.g., three or four pickets) and immediately following up with back-brushing using the Wooster Bravo Stainer block brush. This ensures that the stain is worked into the wood for maximum penetration while wet, preventing it from drying on the surface and allowing for a lasting finish. The video emphasizes the importance of applying enough stain to allow for back-brushing without drying too quickly, but not so much that it creates excessive runs.

Goal: Apply stain to the fence ensuring proper penetration and even coverage.

your fence it's not going to last very long at all if you want this thing to last for years you got to get a lot of stain on and back brush it right away before it actually dries you want to get it to penetrate while it's wet and saturated so the back brushing is very important i'm going to be using a respirator i got to grab my rz respirator once i get this set up and i'm going to get a cardboard shield holder i'll show you to help control overspray but this is what it looks like right here spray and back brush we get a mask and we're going to get going here [Music] a few little tips you know obviously overspray can be an issue you know if you're not spraying properly but what i got these big gaps and what i'm trying to do with these pickets is i got my tip angled so the and keeping the tip close enough to the picket where i'm not getting a lot of over spray going out back um off to the sides of the pickets but i also want to get these edges spray those edges so and then another thing is is you want to have enough stain to be able to back brush that it's wet that you can back brush but then not so much that you're throwing tons of overspray yo back on the other side of your fence so there's just kind of this fine line of controlling overspray and getting this uh proper amount of product on the fence so this is a water-based coating and water-based coatings don't carry like a oil-based coating will pick up in a very very slight breeze and carry for hundreds of yards this stuff is water-based it falls to the ground quickly and so over spray is not an issue if you keep your pressure down use this small enough tip and you can see i'm keeping my gun angled down the side of the fence this way so it's hitting all the other pickets and not just shooting straight out you know in the open area i got all this is common grounds in the other side of me there's nothing to worry about it's a water-based product a warm day it's not going to carry very far so i don't have to you know worry about cars all over the neighborhood if it was an oil-based stain that's a whole different ball game oil-based stain can pick up and even no wind and just carry in the air for a long ways oil-based stains are just i never use them on fences they're too too high risk you know with overspray but you can see how fast this goes with a sprayer how easy it is to get all the edges and you're not creating drips and it's just a very fast process so once again if you don't put enough on you won't…
