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

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

Using the airless sprayer with the 619 tip and a respirator, apply the stain to the shed walls. Immediately follow up with a stain brush to back-brush the wet stain into the rough T-111 siding. This technique is essential for ensuring maximum penetration and adhesion of the stain into the porous wood. Continue this spray-and-back-brush process section by section, working quickly to prevent the stain from drying before it can be brushed in.

Goal: Apply stain to the shed walls with optimal penetration and a uniform finish.

look versus the rolled look [Music] all right we got this one side all done now staining you only do one coat of staining you don't want to put multiple coats on there if you put multiple coats you know it could peel so we're going to go around we'll do the front we'll show you what it looks like doing the front now this bottom down here eventually if you don't shield it it's pretty simple you can see there's over spray you know down there i can just take a rake i'm all said and done and i can just you'll rake this along here and you won't even tell there was overspray you know down there so you know being a shed not a house up against somebody's house that's going to be totally fine you know right there with those rocks and stuff that looks totally fine these rz best rest bears i've ever used nice and soft no no sweaty silicone if i was just gonna paint this thing you know without a sprayer what i'd actually do is get a nine inch roller with like a three quarter inch nap or one inch nap and i would roll it with a roller and back brush it with a brush and i think that would take me probably maybe an hour and a half to two hours longer to do the shed to do it that way versus spraying and back brushing you're saving quite a bit of time by using a sprayer to apply versus dipping a nap or dipping a brush continually and applying your product so my trim around the doors is going to be an accent color so i'm not worried about the doors right now i'll i'm gonna hand stain those
