When to Back Roll and Why? Staining with an Airless Sprayer.

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

Pour the solid color stain (Sherwin-Williams Woodscapes in 'Cabin Brown') into a clean 5-gallon bucket for easy access with the airless sprayer's intake tube. The presenter highlights the difference between stain and paint: stain absorbs into the wood, providing better durability and a more natural look on raw or bare wood, while paint forms a film on the surface.

Goal: Transfer stain to a suitable container for the sprayer, and understand stain properties.

if you don't have a stir stick available you can just take your prime or intake tube just stir it with your intake tube now this is a very small project so you know you could use uh i got a 515 tip i'll probably be using here i am going to be putting bug juice into the paint here and bug juice hit um kills flying and crawling insects that land on the paint and it lasts up to five i think it's five to seven years and we've been using it for a lot of years and it's very very effective and up here carpenter ants are really notorious mosquitoes are really notorious also so we want to put that in there and i want to stir this up so i got to my bug juice in there i do like mechanically stirring it up that way i get it mixed in there really good i like using these hide stir whips from hyde and they mix paint fast and quickly [Music] so using a stir whip like this that just ensures it's the bug juice is just evenly distributed throughout the stain
