great tip about wiping off excess stain, it made all the difference with my deck stain finish!!
Thanks for the video. I like that stain because it brings out the natural beauty of the wood and doesn't look like brown paint like how some darker stains appear.
Thanks guys! First time staining and it came out great. Helped me get rid of some old t-shirts, too. 😉
Thanks for asking for my very first deck I think it turned out awesome the owners of the house also thought it came out nice. I power washed used a stripper and a brightener and believe it or not almost 11 gal of stain I was so sick of staining wiping off the excess but it was a good feeling seeing it done I felt good.

Always hooking me up with the painting tips ! I teach friends and family my tips I learn from here !
omg thanks again for this! We just completed a deck refurbish and we applied your lessons, always nice to get a great finish! Cheers from Halifax!
Your video is very helpful and humorous too. :). Your answers to questions are very precise, and shows that you are very knowledgeable. My husband and I just started our own exterior property grooming business, and just landed a big job staining a dozen or so decks for a development. I feel much more confident that we will do an excellent job after watching your video. Thanks Again!

Is it better to spray stain or to use a paint brush?
Spraying is an easier application step but a lot more cleanup. The beauty of this method is no cleanup.
You need to do all the steps regardless of how you apply the material.
Thank God .. it's nice to watch someone who knows what they're doing!!! Fantastic job, very professionally done work! 👍👍😎
Thank you very much for the support!
D Jaquith why god?????

Thank you for your very helpful video. It was easy to follow and my deck looks so good that guests keep asking if it is brand new.
This was a great video, thanks for all the tips, much better than others I’ve seen.
Dang, all those rags. Totally understand using throw away for oil based. Great work as always - liked!
Great video! Staining my deck this week, and your suggestions helped! Thanks!
I stain my hardwood deck each year with a dark tinted oil and roll it on the complete deck then use a mop handle where I can use a folded up towel to mop excess oil off ~ works great and saved the lower back. I do have to walk on the oil so be careful as it can be slippery.
really good detailed presentation
Hey chris jusy wanna say thanks im actually in the process of starting my own business here in oregon and your tips and tricks have helped me to along the way. If your ever around portland, or I would love to but you a cup of coffee and chat or even help you on one of your jobs. Happy painting brotha keep it wet!
I wish I would have seen this video when I stained my deck. Now I know why the stain stayed tacky for days. Great tips, thanks.
I like the tunes. Keep up the good work man!
Y'all getting after it,Thanks Paint Life 👍🤠
Glad to
Thanks! I am ready to do it myself!
My wife was just yelling at me saying ,”There has got to be a better way!” I showed her this video and the results you got. She’s still not happy but kept working. Thanks for the info!
What she figure out what's a better way bbbbbbbbbbbbbbhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Lol. No honey, this is where human evolution has taken us. Next best thing is when the primary sun in our solar system is at its zenith. You get a break. Make me some lunch
@@dizastro5437 what haha
Really good tips. straight to the point. no funny business. Thumbs up here
thanks
Excellent instructions. They gave me the confidence to do the job myself and know it would come out well. Using a roller on a pole made to applying the stain much easier and cleaner. I went a step further and used a dry mop with replaceable head to wipe. While I had to throw the head out at end of the job, I think it more than paid for itself in convenience and reduced mess. BTW, I find cleaning tools after using water-based stain about the same as cleaning up after latex paint.
Thank you so much for sharing and being with us!🤙
Nice video. Contains in one simple video much of the info I’ve seen in other videos or just decided about throwing away brushes. We’re replacing dry rotted redwood in a house we recently bought with hardwood so this will be a tutorial for the rest of the crew (wife and daughter 😉).
Almost learned a hard lesson about oily rags. I had set one aside after doing a board, hadn’t laid it open to dry. It was in the sun and started to smolder. I threw it in a nearby burn barrel and it instantly burst into flames. Wow!
Fantastic stain application tutorial.. I wish I would've seen this one week ago, I would've applied my stain to my new deck myself. This is easy peazy. My husband was hell bent on having someone spray so, that's what was done. It looks like total crap.
You could spray the material on (makes for a much more difficult clean up) but it still needs to be back rolled and the excess still needs to be wiped up. The wiping is a second helping of even distraction as well as removing any excess. If they didn’t wipe, then the blotchy, tacky, tracking will result.
If it’s thick on the surface, it’s probably a good idea to use a putty knife to scrape the excess. Rubbing with a rag and some mineral spirit should help to loosen lighter tack and reabsorb either into the wood or the rag. Hang or layout the rags to dry or they will catch on fire even just sitting in the sun.
Thanks chris you have really helped me out keep up the great work 👍
Great video, staining my deck next weekend and appreciate the tips!
Good luck on the deck, thanks for watching!
Very informative. Thank you.
My best advice with 20+ years experience with boxers is they are great at covering cracks.
Yes
Great job, That's the way to do it to eliminate overlap marks.
Great video Love it. About to stain my redwood deck right now thank you for the tips. Love the logo as well the cartoon of you looks exactly like you.
The Idaho Painter *m
Great video. I just learned why my last stain job didn't turn out the way it should have. I didn't wipe it off. The instructions on the can never mentioned that step! I wish I had watched your video first!!
Yes, that is a big step you don't want to miss! Thanks for watching!
@@Idahopainter Would this also apply for acrylic based stains? My biggest rookie issue is I seem to be putting mine on too thick ending up with a much darker result than we want. I think the wiping might just be the missing piece of the puzzle for me if this principle also applies to acrylic based semi-transparents.
@@masonfoley1276 it is. I did the same thing on my siding. Wiped off the extra when i stained my deck. The deck looks a lot better.
Thank you very much awesome vid helping me put alot
Thank you👍
So glad I watched this first.
Your welcome! Thank you for sharing🤙
Thanks for the tips. I will be sending you pictures of my work with video when finished. Keep up the great work
Thanks Johnny!
@@Idahopainter Hi what color stain. And do you recommend Sherwin-Williams Paint Over Home Depot. Or are all stains the same. What brand do you use??? Thanks again. Just Subscribed!!!👍🙂
What brand of stain do you recommend??
Fixing to stain my huge deck today. Your video helped me make a list for job. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing Mr berry
Great instuctional video. Thank you!
Your welcome
Thanks this really helped me understand how to stain my new deck. I think it’s dried out just right
Great ideas!! Thanks 😊!!
Great job!! Love the tips
I hear you!!! OB stains are such a pain to work with.
Hi idaho painter! You do great work! I restore and stain exterior wood up in Ontario Canada. Just wondering what stain you were using and why you didnt spray for coverage between the boards and speed. All stains have different methods of how to apply but usually i like to spray on a flood coat on the floor later in the afternoon so not in direct sunlight and allow the wood to sfully absorb to the point of refusal and then backbrush. I have had great results for when doing a single application.
Thank you Very good information
It looks good by the way!
Your video helped out a lot
Well done, thank you!
Great video guys ,but the days of on hands and knees is for the birds .I use an 8 inch deck brush with pole attachment and i take 3 -5 boards at a time it's a breeze .
nice job my friend
I did my deck using an airless sprayer and it came out perfect. I use to do it your way until I learned from the commercial building guys. But great video.
Thanks for sharing Antonio, whatever you find works best for you!
Nice information
One thing I always do is start one board and finish not stopping in the middle because it always leaves marks. I watched a lot of videos on this and this is never mentioned
But it has happened to me so I know. Thanks for all you videos
I enjoy watching them
Exactly, hut I think he's putting on a timber oil. Can't tell what kind of wood that is. If it's pt pine, I've never seen anyone use that oil before, lol. If thays an exotic, then he's doing this correctly, only if he sanded it first to open up the pores.
But if this is regular deck stain? Then I've also never seen anyone wipe it off lol.
Love your videos!!!
You work in some cool location s :) Cheers Rob
I wish I found this video 10 years ago, I built a cedar deck then stained it not realizing I needed to allow time for the wood to dry out. It peeled and wore off so I used a belt sander and stripped it all off and re did it and it the same thing happened. So I gave up. The wood seemed dry but now I realize it must have had too much moisture in it. If I had let the wood dry out I would have had better results. My concern was I didn't want the the wood to grey out so my wife actually stained them before we put them on and then stained them again with a second coat hoping we were done with the deck for a while. I now realize that was a huge mistake, one of the few times I am proactive and of course it blows up in my face. I've since sold that house and know better (thanks to you) for our next home. Thanks for making the video. Seeing you guys all bent over and struggling brought back painful memories. Just curious what do you think of using a paint sprayer and chasing it with a brush for a staining job or even a second coat?
Never stain always oil.
cool I learned something new today!
Glad to hear, thanks for watching!
Great video! 🎉😮
Thanks
Good tips brother
sweet...looks great!
Good work my friend
Thank you!
Great video thanks
Your welcome
Nice job Chris.
I also hate oil based stains but it is such a pretty finished product
Watched this before staining a 10-year old deck. Worth pointing out that the wood was rather porous; absorbed the stain pretty & didn't leave much excess to wipe up. Great video though; we were humming that catchy piano music during the whole job.
Looks Good
For my IPE deck I used DeckWise IPE Oil. Deckwise recommended not to stain IPE wood or use a clear finish over the stain.
so can I stain over without sanding or stripping it.? it's about 1 year old. Loving your site and excellent feedbacks.
Great tips!
Please provide a guide on both the length of time to allow a new deck to completely dry to accept stain and the type of wood(s) that influences drying times.
Fir, Cedar, Ipe, Pine
Great job, I hate staining always get it all over me.
Thank you!
What cleaner or pre-treatment do you use before applying a stain? We had our stairs built in the fall and are getting ready to stain. They are cedar.
Which I would've seen your videos before I started my College Pro Franchise hahaha. You are awesome Chris! Keep up the great videos!
+The Idaho Painter Yes, unfortunately I was a franchisee for CPP... Huge mistake, however it taught me a lot about running a business and the ups and downs of the entrepreneurial lifestyle. I wish the company gave us more training... We had a week (5days) to learn how to paint well enough to teach "painters" how to paint...
***** thanks Chris, I really do appreciate you making those videos! You don't know what a big help you were too me!
excellent!
Thnx a lot perfect
Would love to know the stain brand used in this video ! Thanks !!
Very nice!
Thank you! Cheers!
One guy can cut in and another roll it. Then come back on each section with a rag mop attached to an extension pole. Its fast and you don't have scrub on your knees. Nonetheless, great video! I am always interested in how others do stuff.
do you rinse the rag mop? staining my porch soon and im wondering how to cut down on rag use/throwaway
saburius , do they make wool or cotton rollers, because couldn't you just use a dry roller to go over it instead of a rag mop, since it might be less messy, easier to clean?
Chiris nace jod the best projects
Here's a pro tip for the comment section. This is ironwood which is a hardwood... very easy to stain as it doesn't soak in very deep at first (especially if your using a less viscous stain like rosewood oil). If you are staining say something like cedar or treated decking you need to stain only a couple of boards at a time so that you can work the entire boards all the way down to eliminate "flashing of the stain". It stands out on softer woods.
Would you still wipe it as well?
@@coreymanderino9124 For Harder woods u need to let soak for a few minutes. Depends on the temp. outside, air moisture, ect... But yes always come back and at least knock down the stain on the tops of the boards.
Appreciate that man
just have a quick question if you have the time i know the video is older. i do alot of painting in western new york. i use alot of the cwf cedar transparent and semi transparent stains on deck floors and have always wiped them off. i have never used a solid stain on a deck floor and i was just wondering if you would use the same process of applying and wiping off the stain? being a little bit thicker im not sure if it would get dry spots from wiping off and for siding i always just back rolled it and it turned out fine. thanks!
Any tips on staining a deck railing? What brush/applicator works best?
Thank you.
Just throw everything away. What a sustainable practice!
I didn't know that ipe takes an oil based. Thought it was only water based and formaldehyde based stains. Looks great
What brand stain?
cool you got patrion will have to hook u up. keep up with the videos.
I have a wood deck that is on the second story of the house and want to know the best way to approach the sequence in staining the deck since it has a railing, wood spindles, and support columns. I am told that it is not necessary to stain underneath the deck even though it is above our cement patio below. Thanks Chris.
Work from the top down.
If you’re going to see it, treat it. If it’s not exposed to the sun and rain, you shouldn’t need to retreat it as often, but good to do once to start.
Very informative and very useful tips. I just got my new deck 2 months ago with pressure treated wood , now it needs staining. Please advise shall I wait more or its ready to do staining. Thanks
always do a "drop" test before starting. place a small drop of the stain you will be using in a few places and see if the wood absorbs the stain, if it does it's ready if not wait another month and try again.
Do you recommend or think I should steer clear of sanding pressure treated deck with course grit before staining it? It's newer brown treated wood, dried out a couple years. Finally getting time to stain it. Some people say not to sand it, won't look good. I will be using deck cleaner and pressure washing, waiting couple days to dry then sand, dust off and stain
I have a brand new black butt deck, has been up for 4 months, do I need to sand, wash before stain? and thanks for the tips on wiping, I did no know that, glad I watched your video before I have started.
Depends on how you want it to turn out
What kind amd brand of stain did you guys use? Very didactic video. Thanks 👍
I’m bout to go stain a deck right now only have a gallon and a half left after doing the fence . Power washer quit on me half way through bleaching the wood . Gotta brush it all in. Gonna be a gong show
nice vid, any thoughts on using water over oil based stains on deck. Yay or nay?
Nice looking wood. Do you use the same stain for log cabins?
How long did it take you to do that deck? How long does it take to dry? Do you have to use oil based? Thank you.
How do you avoid the overlap of the stain? I am about to re-stain my deck and I noticed the overlap from the previous staining. It is where you start and stop the staining with the brush or roller.
Hi Chris. Do you have an videos on how to spray paint a deck?
I have a really weathered wood for a swingset. should i use a stain & then a sealant or just use deck paint
Great tips... how much painter charged to paint fence . I wonder how much for square foot
When I first painted my new deck I did not watch your video first, so it left dark paint marks here and there because I did not wipe it off so now I need to apply a second coat but I will wipe off the deck this time like you did hopefully it will turn out ok then won’t it YES OR NO THANK YOU I HOPEFULLY YOU RESPOND FAST THANKS
I got the deck done and wanted to say thanks about the rag tip because I needed a hole lot of them.
I also thought about the waist when doing this deck with stain it's kinda made me think about nature and what it does to the environment the stuff I tossed out to do this deck witch was 900 sq ft total sure ruins the earth do many people think about that when using stain.
Ben Moore makes a awesome oil based stain called arborcoat....
