@StainAndSealSupply at FWA Demo Days in Florida showing us some staining techniques.
In this episode clip from The Fence Podcast, @StainAndSealSupply demonstrates practical staining techniques at FWA Demo Days in Florida. The focus is on how to spray fence boards efficiently by working across two or three boards at a time and then shifting over one board to maintain even coverage. He explains that while a beginner-friendly approach may use less material and keep the sprayer farther away, he recommends getting closer to the fence and overlapping passes for better results. A major takeaway is how to reduce overspray, especially when working in windy conditions. He stresses starting at the top of the fence and spraying downward so stain is less likely to drift into a neighbor’s yard. He also notes the importance of moving with the hose, letting off the trigger between passes, and masking nearby areas whenever possible. On windy days, he suggests lowering pressure, working closer to the surface, making more passes, and using wider tips if needed. The overall message is that careful technique and patience improve both coverage and cleanup.

(232 words)We can we can we can be far off and we can cover two boards at a time, two or three boards. We can go like this and then just move over by one board. And this tip's kind of a beginner tip that's not putting out a lot of material. But uh or we can get up tight, which is what I I would recommend going something like that and just overlapping. Start at the top. Notice I'm letting off the trigger. Just trying to avoid a little over, you know, a little overspray. And the reason we spray the top first at a downward angle is to eliminate overspray going over the into the neighbor's backyard. And obviously, we want to take our time and mask things if we can. And when I spray the top, I'm I'm probably I'm pulling my hose out and I'm going to I'm going to move like this. I'm going to get the top like that. And it's a windy day, so it's not ideal, but get in there. And on windy days, you can turn your pressure way down and you got to get closer and you got to make more passes, but you can eliminate a lot of your overspray. And they make a lot wider tips, too, that you can use. And obviously we've sprayed the top twice, three times maybe.
