Staining a Deck in a DAY! The Idaho Painter
What happens here
Begin by 'cutting in' the edges of the deck, specifically along the house siding and railing posts. Use a hand brush for precision in these areas. For gaps between deck planks, a foam brush can be used to work the stain down into the crevices, or an airless sprayer can be used for wider gaps. Getting stain into these gaps is crucial for a professional, durable finish, as neglecting them can make the deck look unfinished.
Goal: Apply stain to edges, house-facing boards, and deck plank gaps.
