Staining a Deck in a DAY! The Idaho Painter

What happens here

Prepare the deck for staining by mixing the chosen stain, Olympic Elite solid color stain. This product is self-priming, eliminating the need for a separate primer, even on bare wood. Plan your work path to avoid painting yourself into a corner; it is recommended to start from the areas closest to the house and work your way outwards.

Goal: Mix stain and plan the application process to avoid getting stuck.

Tools and materials

  • Cordless Drill Bosch — Mixing the stain thoroughly
  • Mixing Paddle — Attaching to the drill for efficient stain mixing

spend the time doing the prep. So, the masking, drop cloths, if you don't have that equipment, you should get that equipment so you can do that. So, now we're going to get the staining process started. I got my deck product. I am today using Olympic Elite. It's a solid color stain. Once again, it's been matched to the exact color this deck is now. So, just be restaining it. It's um they're self-priming products. You don't have to do any priming of the deck, even where you sanded it to bare wood. That's one of the great conveniences of using solid color stains. So, we're going to start from the front. We're just going to work our way out. That's one of those things you can end up um if you're working multiple t people, you can end up working um your way back into a corner where you can't get out of. And I've done that before doing epoxy garage floors where you're stuck. So, we're just going to um think this out logically. We're going to move our way
