Planning: Methods of Application

The best way to put down reactive stain in a large area is to spray it on with an acid-resistant sprayer, such as a garden-type pump sprayer. This is particularly true for large areas finished with the same color and technique.

To get unusual finishes, some contractors use faux techniques to apply the stain.

A light coating is best. Don't puddle the stain. It's better to apply an additional coat later, if necessary.

Adjust the stream of your sprayer tip so that the stain is dispersed conically, instead of in a fan shape. (The fan shape can leave lines and gives you less control over the area in which youčre spraying.)
