Hello Again DSH: we will be applying AC semi-transparent stain to a cleaned/brightened cedar deck (Maine; lots of sun; very large deck). A couple application questions please:
1) We saw a suggestion from Defy Wood Stain on using a car wash brush to apply their stain. We saw that the Defy brush (and many other car wash brushes) has polypropylene bristles. AC semi-trans is oil-based. Could/should we apply an oil-based stain with a synthetic fiber brush? Do you have any experience using car wash brushes ?
2) We saw your suggestion to avoid rollers as applicators in favor of pads or brushes. Does that hold true even if back brushing afterward (we saw someone else suggesting a roller on a broom pole followed by brush on similar pole for speed/convenience)?
Thanks for all your help!
