Deck Staining!

8 years ago

Can you apply deck Staining with a roller? This will be our second coat and after doing the first using the 5” brushes, you can clearly see the end/ beginning marks from each back area. I was hoping a roller may help to keep this from happening. Any ideas/ thoughts about using one and maybe about what type to use. Thanks!

The special foam heads for deck staining attach to a pole to save your back. If any stain builds up just a smooth swipe with a brush from end to end works well.

The brush marks that are already there may still be visible though.

I thought they may be but I wanted to put the second coat on to try and blend it a little better. I just wasn’t a huge fan of using the brush again
