      <image:caption>It is crucial to let the deck dry before applying stain after cleaning / rinsing. Remember, literally every decision we make must be in compliance with our slogan Never Peel Again, and therefore our #1 promise to you: a deck that never peels. Applying oil stain while the deck is still wet or has too much moisture in it is one way that even a high quality penetrating oil may potentially fail. To be sure, use a wood moisture meter to make sure the deck is dry enough (between 12-15%—or less) before maintenance stain coat.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Never pull or drag a drop cloth while your stain can is still on it! Not only is it a potential spill hazard, but with such a thin penetrating oil, even tiny drops with sudden movements could allow for small drips to jump out of the can and leave drip marks that will overlap later after application.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>If your project takes a few days to complete and is being worked in the heat of summer, you can get away with putting your brush in a large freezer bag and sealing it from oxygen to keep for the next day. If it’s kept warm enough, the brush shouldn’t harden and you can use it again the next day without issue. Make sure to clean it with mineral spirits if you are changing between stain colours in your project.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Brush Technique. When using a 4” stain brush, try unloading the stain along the narrow (1”) side of the brush followed by smoothing it with the wide 4” side of the bristles. This lowers the possibility of thin areas or missed spots. You’ll likely do this same ‘narrow angle’ brushing technique without even thinking about it when shoving the brush in between boards or narrow trim pieces like spindles.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>When staining a deck floor with a staining block brush, we typically stain three boards at a time—always along the grain, and always only working on boards that can be started and finished in one go before taking a break or needing to stop. This three board technique allows for a decent pace while still allowing for enough reach room to smooth out or correct any issues without needing to step on the stain.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Similar to sanding, you may prefer to finish your spindles if they are already removed from the deck railing, as long as you have a place to dry them so they don’t leave any marks. If you prefer or have no good place to let them dry, you can screw the spindles back in before staining. If you are doing a strict recoat (and didn’t remove the spindles), this should be easy enough to simply apply stain where they are without uninstalling them.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - How To Sand A Cedar Deck - Pro DIY &amp; Contractor Tip…</image:title>
      <image:caption>Mouse sanders are typically meant for detailing work, so it might be hard to find sandpaper coarser than 80 grit (or worse, come in variety packs with 80, 120, and 200 grit, for example.) We eliminate this problem by using the same sandpaper we use for random orbitals and simply cut them to fit the mouse “finger” heads. In fact, cutting the sandpaper disc fits pretty well onto the finger tip head on the mouse, and will get your job done faster with the courser grit (and blend perfectly versus having a finer smoothness in only the areas where the mouse sander was used.)</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Spindles are probably the most time consuming area to sand on a deck… When it comes to sanding, be thankful if your railing is glass / metal / plastic versus wood. If you do have spindles, use a drill to unfasten them if possible. Clump them together and use the random orbital to sand 3-4 spindles at a time on each side. This is way faster (and way less of a pain) than sanding each spindle individually. If your spindles can’t be removed, you can get away with sanding the exposed faces with a random orbital (facing the inside and outside of the deck) but you’ll have to use a mouse sander in between as the orbital is too large to fit in between the spindles.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>If using a leaf blower, blow away from your home, pool, stone pathways, etc. to prevent mess and future cleanup in other areas. This may seem obvious, but really do try to aim the dust away to prevent angry neighbours, not to mention zero control over breeze direction in an already messy job. Again, a shop vac is a great solution as well to handle most of the dust before a final blow.</image:caption>
