Selecting the Right Stain Product

for deck fences and and pergolas you can use water-based Coatings you can use um oilbased coatings on it and um it the only real difference is is kind of like the clean up dry time you can't you know just let it set out you know with a drying product like a latex product in the sun expert saying SE oils I use their transparent semi-transparent and semi solid oils and there's uh multiple reasons why I absolutely love their products uh paired with this machine they are penetrating oils means the oils are going to penetrate in the wood they'll literally penetrate you all the way through the entire Lumber and it's adding something to the wood keeping it from drying out splitting checking cracking all that stuff you're adding something to the wood that's going to increase the life for the wood it is a self-leveling oil and this is extremely important when it comes to using a machine like this you're handling the lumber you're pushing it through coming out the backside you're grabbing it you're handling it with your hands and you're touching it with your fingers and stuff if you are using like uh paints and stains drying paints and stains latex oil base that handling of it could leave fingerprints especially if you're on like a smooth um smooth Lumber or smooth type wood so you got to be very careful how you handle it coming out the end with expert s and SE oil being a self-leveling oil I don't have to worry about that at all where the wood is smooth this is rough sun which is very common up here you can just grab it handle it it's going to self-level it's going to sell flow in eventually probably about 10 minutes it's usually about you know 5 10 minutes you won't even see those fingerprints at all an hour later you're not going to see them at all you can actually up stack them down stack them we pull them out we up stack it for um for about an hour and then we down stack them after an hour and being a penetrating oil and a self leveling oil you can downstack them and have them ready to go to for the installers the self-leveling oil is a very important component now you know I know there's a I've gotten a lot of feedback you know across my social media people saying you got fingerprints all over it or we're setting the ends as we're up stacking we're setting them in the ground so on the ground so it is a non-drying oil along with self-leveling so we're handling it we're up stacking them we're setting them say on grass on dirt whatever the oil penetrates it…
