What happens here

Begin the application process by spraying the stain onto the fence using an airless sprayer. Use a small spray tip (e.g., 5-15) to help control overspray and reduce pump pressure (around 500-600 PSI) to prevent excessive atomization of the oil, which is light and can drift easily in the air. While spraying, use a cardboard shield attached to a pole to limit overspray, especially on the back side of the fence or when working near adjacent property lines. The presenter recommends spraying at an angle rather than directly through the fence pickets to further manage overspray. Immediately after spraying, follow with a 6-inch 'Goliath' stain brush attached to an extension pole to back-brush the freshly applied stain. This technique helps work the product deep into the wood fibers, ensuring maximum penetration, promoting adhesion, and achieving a uniform, streak-free finish. Don't skimp on the product; saturate the fence for optimal results. When back-brushing, consider the direction of the brush to prevent pooling; brushing downwards is often preferred to manage excess product.

Goal: Achieve full, even coverage and deep penetration of the stain into the wood.

Penetrating Oil. Let's get to work. So I'm going to start getting ready. I'm going to be doing both sides of this fence. I'm going to control overspray on the back by using a cardboard shield that will limit the overspray on the back. Now, I usually spray at an angle so that I don't overspray by shooting straight through the fence from this direction here. So I'm going to spray at an angle. So I'm hitting the sides of the picket, but limiting the overspray going through the fence. So it's going to look a little like This [Music] [Applause] [Music] and [Applause] [Music] never now you know I've got this side of the fence done actually I can you know start You know clean my post but now I just realized I have to do the other side of the fence the spray could get through these pickets and get to this so I do n't want to get ahead of myself and start cleaning this up I'll clean it up when I do the opposite side we're going to change the cardboards move to the other side I don't have to worry about it drying out because it's an oil that doesn't dry out So we can leave it there I can leave it there until the end of the day I can come back even tomorrow finish it up and clean it up So let's move on we have another side of the fence that we're masking and we're going to film the other side go take a look at [Music] that So when it comes to brushing back here's a simple little tip the direction of the brush matters a little bit if it's up like this and I'm brushing down I'm going to have a puddle under my film it's right here and It's going to cause more product to build up and splash onto my cardboard shield. If I point my filaments upwards right here, I won't have as much buildup. If I brush backwards, I brush downwards. So the direction of your filaments can matter if you're having a lot of downward dripping, puddles, and splashing, and wasting product going down onto your cardboard shields or whatever you have on the floor. So I have
