This Machine Makes Fence Staining Faster, Cleaner & Profitable

What happens here

The first few pickets are fed through the machine repeatedly to thoroughly saturate the internal rollers and brushes with stain. The presenter observes that the top brushes are not making sufficient contact with the wood, which can lead to uneven coverage. He then adjusts the machine's mechanisms to lower the top brushes, ensuring they apply adequate pressure and 'backbrushing' action for complete and consistent stain application across all surfaces of the lumber. It's crucial to maintain a steady feeding pace to prevent stain overflow.

Goal: Ensure the machine's rollers are fully saturated and brushes provide optimal coverage.
