I have a very long deck and I’m planning my best procedure. How do I stain without getting the stopping and starting marks? I’m assuming I’ll have to stop to pick up more stain as I go along because the length is so long I won’t be able to do it in one long sweep.
Keep a wet edge and do the entire board length as you dip your pad or brush into the stain tray. Moving quickly you should be fine.
Used the 3-step process for my deck. Turned out awesome!
Step 1 Deck Cleaner
Step 2 Brightener
Step 3 RAD Stain in Cedar
This was a 10+ year-old dock, never been stained.
I did the deck in one day. Over 500SF, plus spindles and a seating area. All-in, I’d guess 600+ SF of area. I started in the morning, around 9am. Finished stripping & brightening by 12-12:30pm. Began staining at 3:30pm, finished staining around 7:30pm. Long day.
I used:
– RAD Stripper, brightener, stain
– Wood staining brush https://www.restore-a-deck.com/restore-a-deck-wood-stain/restore-a-deck-wood-staining-brush/flypage.tpl.html
– Pole to attach to wood staining brush
– Wooster Bravo Stainer 4″ brush for spindles and seating area (https://www.amazon.com/Wooster-Brush-F5116-4-Stainer-4-Inch/dp/B002YCA70A)
– small plastic bucket for stain and 4″ brush
– plastic paint tray for dipping wood staining brush into stain
– a 2 gallon hand pump sprayer for stripper & brightener
– a plastic bucket and funnel (mixed stripper & brightener in the bucket, stirred, and then poured via funnel into the hand pump sprayer to avoid clogged lines in hand pump sprayer)
– power washer to a) initially loosen & remove chunks of dirt prior to applying stripper, and b) to remove/rinse off stipper & brightener
The color used is the Restore A Deck Dark Walnut. Prepped with the RAD Cleaner and the Wood Brightener.
