What happens here
After preparing the area, the stain needs to be mixed thoroughly. Use a drill with a paint mixer attachment to ensure the stain is uniformly blended. Then, pour a manageable amount of the mixed stain into a smaller container (like a blue bucket with a brush hanger). Using a wide paint brush (5-inch brush), apply the Transparent Redwood stain to the wooden surfaces of the timber frame structure. The video shows applying the stain to the large vertical posts and reaching higher sections of the ceiling, indicating the use of a ladder. The aim is to achieve even coverage, which revitalizes the wood's appearance and adds a layer of protection.
Goal: Apply Wood Defender stain evenly to the timber frame structure.
