Staining Tips for Outdoor Wood! Preserving wood with WOOD DEFENDER!

This has taken days and days and days. With Wood Defender, guys, you can use it day after day after day. It doesn't really dry, per se. It will soak in and seep in and it'll look fantastic, but it doesn't really dry right away. So, you can see inside this cup, there's no residue around the outside edge. I will, however, take this cup and I'll pour it back into my bucket. In case you're deciding you want to do this and you want to use a wood defender product, I think it's important for you to know uh how it behaves. I just use a Ziploc baggie just like this to preserve my brush. Now, you can spray this. You can apply it with an airless sprayer, but if you do that, you'll have to go back in with your brush and you'll have to uh smooth it over or you'll have drips and runs and stuff like that. It's already been applied here and you can see it still looks wet. See how that sheen is still on there? That shine. This is not going to dry shiny. It's going to dry flat. Just like that. Now, as I'm working it up into these cracks and crevices, here's what I do. I'll give it a little stab and a little brush. Got to remember you're holding that brush upright. All that oil is falling down towards this end of the brush. Cannot cannot apply this too thick. Try to keep my brush from being straight up right. I want to keep it like this. I'm going to dab a little on. Can't over apply it. Take that brush, work it into them cracks right there. Just like that. Get all the way up in that tongue and groove.
