Great question! Caleb has a great video on deck cleaning for beginners and it is products in the EXPERT Wood Care line so it all works well together - ua-cam.com/video/FSPRhBEMrN8/v-deo.html.
21:20 ... When you spray right over the door hardware, and wipe it off just a few minutes later, is it coming off so easily because ANY brand of oil stain is non-porous and won't stick to metal? I just borrowed a neighbor's sprayer and had to really work to peel the oil-based stain off the metal handle that had dried on it from a spraying job a year earlier. Was it hard to get off because it had been caked-on the handle for so long?
We highly recommend checking out the Stain & Seal Experts UA-cam channel, as they show many instances of coming back the next day and wiping off the metal when using EXPERT Stain & Seal. We believe with other brands it is the difference in formula and that they contain VOC’s. Hope that helps.

I feel like 99% of these people commenting didnt listen to a word he said. 1) the atomized stain wont stick on overspray very far, the larger tip is for coverage and speed 2) its oil based 3) his spray technique doesnt matter because theyre putting so much on it is completely saturated, so you dont need to be picky about it. 4) they chose that particular graco sprayer because it fails less often than anything else they tried. Maybe a larger graco is necessary, but apparently this one is sufficient for the job. Any other stupid comments from "experts" who didnt listen to his reasons for why he does things the way he does?
For just a homeowner...pump sprayer. How much coverage can I get per gallon? Also, 1 year old cedar fence. Southern Louisiana. Transparent or semitransparent?
Transparent Stain & Sealer is recommended for a re-coat every 1 to 2 years. Semi-Transparent Stain & Sealer is recommended for a re-coat every 2 to 2.5 years. Semi-Solid Stain & Sealer is recommended for a re-coat every 3 to 3.5 years. When determining stain coverage for decks you will need one gallon of stain per 200 square feet. For basic privacy fences with side by side pickets, you can expect to use a gallon of stain per 12 linear feet (both sides). For other styles of fences (shadowbox, 4-rail, 3-rail, board on board, etc.) coverage rates will differ. We recommend picking the color you like best. Hope this helps answer your question.
@@Fencearmor Sorry if this sounds like I'm being difficult, but isn't the point of this very video the fact you can spray it and it covers easily and wipes off?

@@markanderson4353 Hi Mark, absolutely, we don't have the exact link, we would recommend reaching out to Caleb at restorativewoodproducts.com/, but the brand is www.graco.com.
Hi Ronel, thank you for your question. We always recommend masking off the area, but if anything gets underneath it, it is easily removed. You can also spray it with water beforehand and that will allow it to be removed as well. Vinyl has a lot of crevasses so it is best to mask it.
You can shop the EXPERT Stain & Seal on our website fencearmor.com/collections/stain-seal-wood-stain. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.
The older guy that asked about how it reacts to galvanized steel, some galvanized steel posts are porous vs aluminum which is not and the stain would wipe off easily, as for the galvanized steel I assume the stain would soak in and not be removable. Is this correct or does it wipe off easily ?
Stain and Seal Experts stains run right off fence posts and require little to no wiping on vertical posts. Metal gate frames also need some wiping. Their stain is a non drying formula so you have a little time to get it done. Happy wiping!
What brand of stain is that ,and what is the cost per 5gln....ive been using Readyseal for 13 years on all my decks ,fences,ect. Always looking for something cheaper
Thank you for your interest, Scott. Stain & Seal Experts actually use their own brand of stain. It is eco-friendly, non-carcinogenic, easy to apply, and premium quality made to last! In order to get the correct pricing for what you are looking for, you can see their website with all of the pricing: stain-seal-experts-store.myshopify.com/.
Good Morning, thank you for your question. That was a 48" pole. They've upgraded since then and use 50" Stainman poles. Those can be purchased from restorativewoodproducts.com
When applying the stain, it is a flood coat that is absorbed right away, so the same process applies when re-staining. It is a perfect opportunity to offer a customer a maintenance package if you are in the industry, or to discuss with your contractor if you are a homeowner.

Hi Alan, great questions. An airless paint sprayer is what he is using. It works with a high volume of paint and uses an electric motor instead of an air compressor for atomization, creating a high-pressure spray pattern that allows you to paint effortlessly and consistently.
@@Fencearmor Thanks for the response. I get that he's using an airless sprayer. My question was setting the pressure on the high pressure airless sprayer. It can go up to 3,000 psi or more. Do we just go as high as possible?
@@trunksy Hi Alan, as regards to pressure setting, what you are looking for is good flow, the pressure adjustment helps manage hose length compensation.
First Main problem: Too high in pressure by using that spray tip. He should be using a FFLP tip. Next all that fog will fly to the nearest car,truck Golf cart and stick, even 70 yards away when the wind carries it.
Hi Eidy, great question! It is the Stain & Seal Experts Auburn Stain, you can find it here: fencearmor.com/collections/stain-seal-experts-fence-stain/products/stain-seal-experts-fence-stain-semi-solid.
good video but as a construction professional I have some doubts 1. I have two of those pumps ( Graco 390/395). This pump isnt strong enough to properly atomize Oil Use the Graco Mark V to make sure that product is atomized correctly Also, not cleaning the sprayer will lead to repacking required a lot Spray technique and cleanliness is very important for a uniform finish This guy isn't as GC I'd wager, so He might have this somewhat down to a science but for me construction is an art form and my boy here killed it but forgot some very important points also youre using the wrong Tip Lol that over spray is ridiculous , also thats putting er on too thick big time, thin coat, go back and mist
Nice video. That poor 210 pump is screaming, it hurts me to listen to that poor Graco. But a Graco is a amazing work horse. Maybe a size upgrade on the pump.
@@israelbenique179 Hi there, yes we do. You can purchase the stain here: fencearmor.com/collections/stain-seal-experts. Let us know if you have any questions.

If the lumber is rough-hewn, you can apply our EXPERT Stain right away without any issues. However, if the lumber is smooth, most people wait to allow the mill finish to weather and roughen up slightly. To speed up the process, you can use a wood brightener or cleaner to open the grain and help the wood absorb more stain.
Safety gear is always a good idea and recommended. Masking would depend on the job. If you are new to staining, we recommend to join the Stain and Seal Experts university - facebook.com/groups/StainingUniversity/.
nice training 👍🏼I think the gentleman at 21:42 was trying to ask..”what if he got the stain on let’s say...his neighbors car?!” Will it come off then 🤷🏻♂️
Thank you very much! You are correct and yes it will, if you immediately wipe away. If not you’ll need to wash the car with dawn dish soap and maybe a small amount of de greaser. It is always best to cover a car. Always keep pavers, concrete and other porous surfaces wet while staining nearby and rinse periodically. If you get stain on a paved surface it may be stained. It might come clean but it is stain and will be tough.
I’m only going to give one piece of free advice away other than do not follow this technique The sprayer head should always maintain the same distance between the sprayer and the product being sprayed. They’re putting to much on in the middle and not enough at the top and bottom...
50/50 of used motor oil and Diesel. 100+ year old farmers trick for preserving a wood fence. Waaaay cheaper than any stains or water proofing that only last 1-2 years. Also another great way to recycle your used motor oil. Go green and use this trick.
Hi Jesse, thanks for the question! Depending on the complexity, between $2,000-3,000. Join the Stain & Seal Experts Staining University for more guidance: facebook.com/groups/StainingUniversity/.
You are using a 521 tip for spraying stain? I get the idea of getting a job done quickly, but why would you be so wasteful? I would even understand pushing a 515 if that is the idea (when the recommended tip range here is 311 to 413!). You stated 10 ln. ft. / gal...so 60 sq. ft. / gal here? This seems absurd. I am used to roughly 125 - 150 sq. ft. / gal. This would make a job extremely expensive on the product side. At $30 / gal (just throwing out a "box store number") a huge amount of your profit margin is simply wasted (at 3x the product that should be used). Hell, even at $20-$23 a gallon for that matter. I am so confused as to why this video was made / released by a professional company. No disrespect intended...I'm just taken back.
Thank you for your comment Mr. James. We spoke with the contractor directly and he shared that this stain product has no thinners so the 521 tip is required because it is a much thicker product. Contractors agree on this universally who use this type of stain. We recommend 125 sqft per gallon and the math for staining both sides of a 6’ fence is 100 linear ft x 12’ / 125 sqft per gallon = 9.6 gallons of stain which is about 10’ of fence (both sides) per gallon of stain used. We’re not so different after all.
For oil-based transparent, 521 is a soso tip for what you’re trying to accomplish. You need to vary your technique depending on how the wood is reacting. The goal is to saturate the wood to the point of rejecting the stain, without wasting product. This is even more important to pay attention to as you go up to semi-transparent and solids, tip size can be varied here as well. I use a double-tip extension with 621s for penetrating stain, and I get a wider fan that’s a more controllable spray with about half the pressure you see in this silly video - for reference, this setup can easily finish 300ft in about 30mins or less.
This is just a randomly recommended video in UA-cam but, scrolling through the comments we can see so many experts coming out of the woodwork.

This guy isn't as GC I'd wager, so He might have this somewhat down to a science but for me construction is an art form and my boy here killed it but forgot some very important points
also youre using the wrong Tip Lol that over spray is ridiculous , also thats putting er on too thick big time, thin coat, go back and mist
i agree. Id say a 315 max and turn the pressure down a bit. but it does look like a good product
I guess you had it on mute?
17:08 yellow hat was a natural
Absolutely right! Pleasure to see.
Tell Greco no need to clean your machine. See what they say.
Not sure if this guy could cut any more corners
Why waste your time cleaning it if you don't need to
Hi. Which color is that? I don't see a very dark brown on their website.
Hello, thank you so much for asking. He used Walnut, you can find it on the website here: bit.ly/2m96jWM. Let us know if you have any questions!
That's a really nice sprayer...
Nice video. That poor 210 pump is screaming, it hurts me to listen to that poor Graco. But a Graco is a amazing work horse. Maybe a size upgrade on the pump.
Graco is great! Thank you for the tip.
It’s amazing how people are still stuck on Spraying 😅
Audio is just terrible .
Thank you for the note. We will work on that for future videos.
The audio is fine clean your damn ears out
Maybe it was my equipment but I could hardly hear him
Thank you for letting us know, we will definitely make sure to have better audio next time!
You seem like a real cool guy. Would buy from you
We are happy to help in any way we can!
Awesome.
Thank you so much!
Always protected with plastic and or tape what you don’t want to hit and your best choice will be a water based emulsified with oil mix, like Sansin
There are companies that do this year round?
Absolutely, all dependent on the area!
@@Fencearmor i want to buy this stain if you have a website to purchase it?
@@israelbenique179 Hi there, yes we do. You can purchase the stain here: fencearmor.com/collections/stain-seal-experts. Let us know if you have any questions.
I can just feel that oil on my body and the nasty smell in the air..... NASTY - I use a diaphragm pump with no overspray but I can see high pressure working the stain into the wood better
Straigh over the hardware
It can be wiped right off after staining!
What’s is the exact name of the sprayer I want to purchase and can’t find it
I would like to know this to.
Thank you both for your interest! It is a Graco 390 Pc Stand Airless Paint Sprayer. You are more than welcome to contact Caleb at Stain & Seal Experts (+1 615-785-1861) on the details.
Fence Armor how much is the machine
@@streetcrierministries2231 Caleb would be happy to help with that information - (+1 615-785-1861).
It’s not true to let the wood age. Two weeks after you install it stain it.
If the lumber is rough-hewn, you can apply our EXPERT Stain right away without any issues. However, if the lumber is smooth, most people wait to allow the mill finish to weather and roughen up slightly. To speed up the process, you can use a wood brightener or cleaner to open the grain and help the wood absorb more stain.

A lot of overspray - breathe deep - you don’t need any PPE with this product because it atomizer so well...
Omg they are power washing that fence with some stain🤣🤣🤣
No filtration masks ?
Safety gear is always a good idea and recommended. Masking would depend on the job. If you are new to staining, we recommend to join the Stain and Seal Experts university - facebook.com/groups/StainingUniversity/.
So what is the actual Stain ?!
It is the Stain & Seal Experts Fence & Deck Stain - fencearmor.com/collections/stain-seal-experts.
nice training 👍🏼I think the gentleman at 21:42 was trying to ask..”what if he got the stain on let’s say...his neighbors car?!” Will it come off then 🤷🏻♂️
Thank you very much! You are correct and yes it will, if you immediately wipe away. If not you’ll need to wash the car with dawn dish soap and maybe a small amount of de greaser. It is always best to cover a car. Always keep pavers, concrete and other porous surfaces wet while staining nearby and rinse periodically. If you get stain on a paved surface it may be stained. It might come clean but it is stain and will be tough.

I’m only going to give one piece of free advice away other than do not follow this technique
The sprayer head should always maintain the same distance between the sprayer and the product being sprayed.
They’re putting to much on in the middle and not enough at the top and bottom...
Totally agree
Thank you Matthew, it is a training course so it is a first time staining for many. We appreciate the advice.
Thanks for letting everyone know how smart you are
what about spraying the hardware, is that typical? I thought he'd tape it or protect it some type of way.
Did any of you listen to anything that was said in the video?
50/50 of used motor oil and Diesel. 100+ year old farmers trick for preserving a wood fence. Waaaay cheaper than any stains or water proofing that only last 1-2 years. Also another great way to recycle your used motor oil. Go green and use this trick.
Good stuff--just shoot in 60fps not 24fps-- looks glitchy
Thank you for the tip!
Dude look at the trees in the back they no wind
Thank you for saving me 1k!
So glad we could help!
What do you charge for these jobs? Thanks!
Hi Jesse, thanks for the question! Depending on the complexity, between $2,000-3,000. Join the Stain & Seal Experts Staining University for more guidance: facebook.com/groups/StainingUniversity/.
You used the airless wrong... Thats why it took long to start up in beggining
Thank you for the comment, Chris. We appreciate the feedback.
You are using a 521 tip for spraying stain? I get the idea of getting a job done quickly, but why would you be so wasteful? I would even understand pushing a 515 if that is the idea (when the recommended tip range here is 311 to 413!). You stated 10 ln. ft. / gal...so 60 sq. ft. / gal here? This seems absurd. I am used to roughly 125 - 150 sq. ft. / gal. This would make a job extremely expensive on the product side. At $30 / gal (just throwing out a "box store number") a huge amount of your profit margin is simply wasted (at 3x the product that should be used). Hell, even at $20-$23 a gallon for that matter. I am so confused as to why this video was made / released by a professional company. No disrespect intended...I'm just taken back.
Thank you for your comment Mr. James. We spoke with the contractor directly and he shared that this stain product has no thinners so the 521 tip is required because it is a much thicker product. Contractors agree on this universally who use this type of stain.
We recommend 125 sqft per gallon and the math for staining both sides of a 6’ fence is 100 linear ft x 12’ / 125 sqft per gallon = 9.6 gallons of stain which is about 10’ of fence (both sides) per gallon of stain used. We’re not so different after all.
For oil-based transparent, 521 is a soso tip for what you’re trying to accomplish. You need to vary your technique depending on how the wood is reacting. The goal is to saturate the wood to the point of rejecting the stain, without wasting product. This is even more important to pay attention to as you go up to semi-transparent and solids, tip size can be varied here as well.
I use a double-tip extension with 621s for penetrating stain, and I get a wider fan that’s a more controllable spray with about half the pressure you see in this silly video - for reference, this setup can easily finish 300ft in about 30mins or less.
How much is cost for feet ?
Caleb from Stain and Seal Experts would be happy to answer any of your questions, you can contact him at facebook.com/StainandSealExperts/. Thank you!
Is that a semi transparent stain?
Yes it is!
The PSI is turned up way too high on this which is going to burn through way more Stain the necessary. Costing you or your customer money
Thank you for the feedback, we will pass this along!
Maybe getting a smaller tip🤣 what a video. Every body got a chance to power wash that fence. Just hearing that pump how much stain is pumping
The wrist over ever seen. No shields nothing! He has that thing turned up, like a power washer!?! 😂😂😂
Your feedback is valuable, and we'll make sure to highlight safety precautions more clearly in our next videos, as it is very important!
Training without a single thought of safety. That "atomized" oil based stain going right into eyes and lungs
Safety gear is always a good idea and recommended. Masking would depend on the job. But thank you for the reminder.
Baja la precion 3/4 y usa un tip mas chico
A non-drying oil. O.k. that's a new one to me.
Why mask off the retaining wall if you said it just washes off?
It depends what the retaining wall is made from, if it was steel it wouldn't be an issue but brick is more porous. Hope that answers the question.
Little OCD going on with that rag.. your pressure is way too high, tip is way too small.
MASK UP, ELF AND SAFETY 1ST
👉 oil based is way more forgiving application wise … it doesn’t matter because it’ll all look the same when finished
Thank you for your input.
Video so funny is like selling ice to Eskimos and they live in Alaska and it's their own ice you're not too good of selling that
How much you charge for sq ft
Thank you for the question, Juan. If you provide us with the area you are located, we can help you find a staining company.
I’m in Orlando Florida and where I can get your product here

Did they hire the expert outside home depot, or what? Staining is not so hard. Sealers and removing the old ones can be a lot of work.
