Today Melissa and I started staining and sealing the woodshed, I am very pleased with the Ready Seal we bought, I just have to figure out the best way to apply it. It works great on rough cut lumber off the mill and Im sure it would be a great stain sealant for fences, decks, sheds, or any wood that you want to protect from the elements.

Yep…from central Texas, this is without a doubt the best outdoor stain and wood protection. I’ve used a brush, rag, sponge and they all work

[@Tman317]

The smile that left Melissa's face when you mentioned the DeWalt cordless sprayer was priceless! My wife was watching and said she knows exactly what she was feeling at that moment!

[@markrangel1709]

I had a guy visit my neighborhood while it was finishing up being built. He did my fence for $350. He had a few 5 gallon buckets and a huge auto detailing sponge. He soaked up the sponge and wiped each panel, then he had an asistant follow behind him with a 8" brush to back brush and avoid drips and runs. They worked quick and covered alot of area fast. The sponge really helped get in between the panels. I was really pleased with the outcome.

[@gregnewlin1074]

I did a deck years ago with a Titan airless sprayer. Then while still wet, rolled it with a 3/4 Knapp roller. Results were fantastic.

[@Sthilboy56]

I always find you really have to pump those sprayers up to the max for them to work well 👍

[@mattandrews6697]

I’m going with roller and brush with my experience! I also think it looks better that way! Great job Mike, keep up the good work! Love from Northwest Indiana! 🙏🏻👏👍😉🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@badcat4707]

You'll get better penetration with the roller & brush , it will take longer , but quality work always takes time ! love the colour too .

[@rickysafer2895]

Mike I'm a retired fence builder and I would stain our fences with the same type of sprayer you purchased and it worked fine but with a different stain product. We would have a guy with a roller following the guy spraying. No matter how careful ,the product will run down the boards and our product would spray on a wider span than what your sprayer was pushing out of your spray tip.

[@richardkoehler9917]

Always enjoy watching all of your endeavors. Love all of your way from your saw mills to your splitting wood.👍

[@hookdwell]

Absolutely LOVE the Outro!

[@michellelyman7092]

getting ready to stain the deck with this product, decided to go roller but wanted to watch from videos and came across this - love the Goldens!! I've been so stressed out and just seeing them made me feel so much better. I've had 5 in my lifetime and am dogless a little over a year now so I really needed this. ♥

[@rickfranklin2526]

The stain looks great Mike, I'm not a professional but I've have stain a few privacy fences and for me the rollers seem to work the best. I have also found that the runnier the stain is the better it soaks in. Thanks for another great video. The girls did a great job on the mini cabin. Hello Hunter and girls.

[@007twm]

I tried a pump sprayer many years ago on our deck. Ended up using brushes and a roller on a pole. Have stayed with this method since. Good luck.

[@larryfromlincolncountywa3989]

Hi, Mike. I have used a larger, heavy-nap roller for putting color on old stucco and it works really good. It was a milk-wash stain, much the same consistency as your stain, I think, and it filled and covered really well. And, the plus side is that it was very conservative on the stain.

[@jgk9820]

Mike, I used the Ready Seal last year on a lamp post I built and covered with cedar. Nice product.

[@maddawg0517]

Laying here in the hospital just waiting for a OWTM upload. YESSSSSS!

[@time7559]

When I did the T111 on my house I used a airless sprayer to apply the stain then fallowed up with a roller and brush for the corners

[@jamesmoore768]

Looks good anxious to see what it looks like after it completely dries. 👍 God Bless Y’all each and everyone.❤️

[@Prepared_Suburbanite]

We used Ready Seal on our new deck, applied with a roller and a brush. You made the best pick with this product - Well done!

[@tomsales263]

i agree with Tony, that look on Melissa face was priceless when talking about a Dewalt sprayer

[@BUCKnSANDY1985]

The roller looks like it’s doing great! The stain is beautiful!

[@Lencwv]

Wow! Mike... when mentioned, DeWalt -- that wiped the smile off Melissa's face... funny!

[@davedutile6317]

Roll and brush . Applies well, and with good coverage.

[@timrobinson97]

Mike, I once painted a house for my cousin and he had an old cellar house he wanted painted also. The cellar house siding was old rough lumber that hadn't been painted in about 30 years. I tried using a brush and a roller and it was going to take a lot of paint and a lot of time to do a small building. I bought a Wagner power sprayer and it did a fantastic job. I still have it and love it, especially for rough cut lumber. It doesn't atomize the paint so bad that you get all that over spray like an air sprayer. You get a little but not too bad. They are well worth the cost. It will work on thin stain or a good thick latex.

[@richardforrest5781]

Yeah, you need 30-40 pumps to begin with, then keep it pumped up to the max

[@LostInThe0zone]

You have to pump the pressure up.

[@lostinmyspace4910]

Mike's gotta pump the crap out of that sprayer, and it stain might be too thick for the nozzle.

[@wayneb.6571]

I love the Morgans. I used to use a sprayer like you tried and it worked just fine. It was a garden sprayer but had to keep it pumped up. Also it was an adjustable tip. Not a change out.

[@kencorsell8087]

I’ve done a lot of rough sawn pine staining, the best and easiest is to stain it before assembling the structure. The easiest application method. I found was the use of a painting pad that has a rough bristly surface that gives you the final brush like finish without brushing it in. I have also used a roller and sprayer for fast application but both require brushing out with a brush or pad to get even penetration.

[@stephenrickettsNL]

Love the color Mike. Tried them all, brush, roller, sprayer, best luck I have ever had was a wide 5 inch natural bristle brush that allows the handle to unscrew and I screw in a broom handle so I can stand back and soak the stuff into the lumber. Any of the synthetic bristles I found to waste too much. Get a natural bristle brush and it worked great.

[@angieruthw]

I'm so glad I saw this.. because I saw this exact stain in the store and was considering it but had NO idea it was so dark. It looks nothing like the photo on the can. It's a beautiful color. I'm just so glad I know the accurate color when I go to decide what I want

[@Fulltimer]

I stained 200 Ft of 6 foot cedar fence with Ready Seal. Used a rented airless sprayer from Home Depot. No problems .

[@jayunderwood3215]

Just is going to take time, with your kids home for the lock down seem like a good time for family bonding nothing like bonding with a paint brush, and many hands makes it a finished project. On to the next one.

[@donniecoleman1324]

spraying will work if you have the right sprayer. I mean painters use sprayers all the time. talk. to some of them. love your videos. you have really been cranking them out lately.

[@billk.7889]

The stream coming out of that pump sprayer reminded of a small squirt gun. I’d recommend shifting to either a roller (cheap, but time intensive) or an airless sprayer (much faster, but more costly) like the Wagner unit you mention, or step up and rent a commercial airless sprayer. Keep up the great work.

[@OldVermontGuy]

Greetings from No VT - Mike, Great to see that you have adult supervision (Melissa) and have the big guy (Ty) keeping the crew motivated. He is such a lucky guy to have you all as family! I have had good luck with a 6" brush in one hand and a smooth nap roller in the other hand for staining flat surfaces. I have not had good luck with sprayers on vertical surfaces.

[@bobbennett3153]

Yes that was a Priceless moment watching Melissa's face at the 15-minute point they need sponsor from DeWalt can see that !!!!!!!!!!! Let's keep that smile on Melissa's face please

[@fredhaeger7089]

that stain looks great. cant wait to see the completed wood shed

[@DonDegidio]

Hi Mike and Melissa, Stain does look nice. I agree that a roller may be best to get the stain into the wood. Will take some time, but the woodshed will look great when finished. Stay safe.

[@tracyspradlin2679]

That big smile went south quick when mike mentionsed a dewalt sprayer!..😂😂😂...too funny!!😆😆😆

[@larryselfridge6733]

You’ll love it. I’ve had great luck withReady Seal

[@hollyr8788]

Looks better rolling it or brushing it on IMO. I love the color and this was a great review. I just replaced all my deck boards and plan on using this same stain. Thanks for sharing!

[@billsmith5042]

I used a pump sprayer for my fence, worked VERY well. It was Olympic stain, lasted 6 years now, no re-apply, yet.On the deck as well, but where there is foot traffic , needs re-applied every year , as you might think .

[@jozua715]

Hi outdoorgans You can get a airless sprayer with a roller attachment

[@bryandrury46]

Love the color of the stain on the wood shed. 👍

[@ronpease750]

I have always used a roller and had great result. Have fun Mike.

[@barrywininger8892]

I sprayed mine with the pump sprayer that looks like the one you have and it came with a red fan tip to spray stains and sealers, and it work great nothing like yours done

[@johnraley5713]

I used a Wagner airless sprayer with Behr solid color wood stain on my fence twice several years apart and was quite happy with it. I used the same sprayer to paint the house which was the real reason I bought it.

[@scots-irish]

I love it when the kids get to experience life and go to work

[@davidhyman9584]

I like the way the wood shed is turning out

[@jimmyandkathyharrell]

I used that same sprayer for two years with a spray nozzle. Worked real well. Mike I can't believe you aren't an expert on staining because you are on everything else. Bet when you finish you will be!

[@mikemcguire8351]

Stain party! And, if I was planning a stain party, I would schedule it when I was at work. Just saying. Lol. The color looks great. 👍 👍

[@johngaudreau7506]

I have done the dance with cheap sprayer too. I found a flat brush, pad meant for decks, on extending pole with paint tray is best for me. Fastest, even, apply with best reach.

[@dennisfahlstrom7422]

Mike, I’ve had good luck on fences with my HVLP sprayer. It has a turbine for pressure and it doesn’t require a lot of power so my small 1500W generator is easy to haul around and a gallon of gas will keep it running all day. I used this combination on my 4 board fencing that I have on 900’ of frontage. I loaned it to my brother for the same kind of job and it worked well for both of us. I’m a huge fan of HVLP. I use it for spray painting walls and applying finishes on furniture I make. One way to make spraying easier is to do while the lumber is laying flat - before nailing it up. You can apply your product thicker with almost no runs.

[@tonymurphy6100]

Mike I would use the roller. The look on Melissa,s face when you mentioned a Dewalt cordless sprayer was golden. For information Graco Ultra Cordless Spray Gun with DeWalt Battery 17N221 Cheers from Aus

[@firefightingmailman]

I missed the face Melissa made had to go back and see it priceless

[@daleparker8858]

I second it on the roller and the look from Melissa. Lol.

[@jamesstraub4981]

THE look 15:03 lol

[@PatrickCPalmer]

Mike - I don’t know ... maybe DeWalt makes a 20-volt sprayer, Melissa - 😳 (thinking ... NO! Not another DeWalt tool?)

[@vinniemccombs9315]

I saw that look also!

[@sherpa972]

We have a cedar log home and I have been using an airless sprayer (need a good one) to get the stain on the logs then work in with a stiff masonary brush. Have been through many brands over the years, time is the real test!!! Sansin has worked the best from my experience.

[@woodyzx12]

2 coats with a brush I just did 100 yards of fence looks spot on!

[@mbusch76]

The woodshed is really going to look great.

[@PatrickCPalmer]

Stain looks great on the shed, not sure you’re ever going to get as good an application spraying vs rolling. And Melissa’s facial response to your DeWalt comment was priceless. I have seen that same look a hundred times. 😁. Can’t wait to see Ty get old enough to make the trip to BK with his Uncle Hunter! Hey Hunter! ✋🏻👴🏻

[@daveeyerly7262]

I like using a roller. It pushes the product into the wood better. Use the pump sprayer for hard to reach places. Pump sprayer doesn’t have enough pressure though. Great color choice!

[@MartyM_33]

I have been a residential painter for the past 16 years and I enjoy it very much. My advice for you is to get an airless sprayer, spray with a 213 tip and back roll all surfaces. It’s best to apply heavy and lay-off with a 1/2 roller nap. When the roller is soaked, you can unload it on a dry area off the woodshed that is next to be stained (so you won’t have double coated areas). I’m happy to answer any questions that arise. I’d offer my help but I’m in northern Michigan and that’s a hike for me for half a days work. Lol.

[@evilbrat5376]

On the sprayer I believe the "Nays Have It." Melissa's look out yonder said a bunch load in the non verbal way. The roller really is best I think, you can work the stain into the wood as needs be. It looking good with what you have done with it Mike. Have at it! Oh yes, As you said - A Staining Party with the kids - all with rollers and brushes as needed would work......family time[more of it].

[@biggsj5402]

Stained my pool deck and privacy fence with wagoner 990 airless out of 5 gallon containers worked perfect using redi seal

[@cayminlast]

The sprayer should have an adjustable nozzle, to make it more of a mist than a stream. I have used one with great results, a helper with something like a 5" or even a wider brush working it into the grain, even a good old white-wash brush will work. Good job you guys!

[@Bill6733]

Really like the look of the stain !

[@stevemiller4148]

Definitely a roller Mike, it will be worth it in the long run. I would keep teasing Melissa about the dewalt sprayer though 😉

[@darrenairey5938]

Great job Mr. Morgan! I stain exterior wood for a living and the best way by far is to spray and back brush any runs but depending on wood porosity it usually penetrates into the wood without lap marks.

[@joycampbell7790]

what is the best stain to use on a deck floor?

[@lensleader]

Soooo 3 years later? How did it hold up!

[@Squash15b]

Applied 20 gallons of stain last year and used a power sprayer followed by a roller. Works best with two people. Absolutely is the best way to go. Fastest and most complete coverage. Able to apply more gallons per minute than other methods.

[@Trucker_86]

Yes the little fence roller

[@2020Tundra]

I’ve stained my log home 3 times using an airless sprayer, then followed up with a brush in the other hand. Worked like a charm.

[@mauso12012]

Agreed Airless followed by a brush.

[@alanross3435]

Hey M&M, good morning. Finally a question I can answer, what me and my crew (2 guys) have always done is use a 9" long nap roller cover on a full size frame with a four or six ft. pole ( adjustable is best ) working out of a five gallon bucket with a roller screen, apply as much as the wood wants and then back brush to work it in always keeping a wet edge. Hope that helps! Love the look that people are talking about!😂😂✌🏻️

[@lornereid4931]

I love the stain and I think rolling it on is the best way.

[@jamesschilling4659]

👍👍 Like the color,Mike. Keep'em coming M & M!! 👏😀✝⚜☮🇺🇸

[@roblong6518]

We've stained our log home twice now, its plenty of brushing and rolling, even with a Graco pump sprayer! But the sprayer is very easy to operate, applies plenty of stain, but must be back brushed/rolled. The shed looks really good with that stain. Renting a sprayer might be more cost effective, not sure.

[@ericduck8273]

Mike, I am not a professional painter, but a Wagner airless sprayer may be your best bet. I painted a metal building, 24x32 old tin, with a Wagner. Worked out well. Good coverage was easy to obtain. I have also use an air sprayer to paint equipment. Used it all one summer, got good too.

[@stevencjones5236]

Used Ready Seal on a 110' of fencing built with 6' white cedar panels. Wife and I brushed it on each panel, front and back, before mounting them to the posts. The 5 gal size was just enough, and the results looked fantastic. I'll try a sprayer in a few years (hoping 4-5) when it needs another application, as it's pretty thin, and should spray fine.

[@markelder4789]

if you spray the ready seal do It with the least amount Of Pressure Possible As It Has been my experience that the particular Are very thin and travel A Long way in the breeze. Also get a good stain tip for the ready seal. This is great stuff and I have several Decks under my belt with it and have never been dissatisfied.

[@ori8218]

I built my barn 30 years ago, sided it with hemlock, never stained or sealed it, let it gray naturally. Still looks great.

[@daveautsolief9312]

Really looks nice, Great job

[@steveh4098]

I have stained a lot of decks and the best way I found is either a commercial sprayer or a brush. And if you are not going to use the sprayer that much you could rent one. But a good stain brush works great. Love your videos.

[@geoffellis1093]

Just done my wooden fence with a Wagner 90, did a fantastic job. Viscosity is important had to dilute the fence stain to give a good spray. If you don't dilute it is a very splotchy spray.

[@bryankleskie9503]

I have stained my white pine log cabin several times over the last 18 years. I tried an airless sprayer that pulls from the can of stain directly but I still had to back brush to work the stain in then I had to clean the sprayer which takes a while. No time saved at all. I now use only a 4" brush right out of the can. A Purdy staining brush works best. Cheaper brushes do not hold enough stain or clean up as well so they are too much work. I enjoy your channel and look forward to your next projects.

[@michaelrambo4886]

Melissa’s face expression at 15 minutes was priceless. Same thing my wife does when I say I need new toys, I mean tools. 😜

[@robertrogers4357]

[@mikesanders9079]

Mike and Melissa, the stain looks great!! I have a fence staining project coming up and will definitely consider the Ready Seal. A rented or purchased airless sprayer (Graco X7 - around $400.00) would be the fastest way to get it done but the spray tanks work fine for smaller jobs like this. Use a tip with a wide spray pattern and adjust (twist) the tip to fine tune the pattern and volume. Consider re-stirring and thinning the stain if it won't go through the nozzle. I've stained my fences multiple times with good result using a spray tank. Have to use the right spray tip, keep the pressure up and have someone chase you with a roller on a pole. It goes extremely fast. Your whole shed could be stained in an hour our so with a spray tank and a helper on a roller. If you decide to go with just a roller, put your stain in a 5 gallon bucket with a grate. Apply with a roller on a pole and chase drips with a brush. Much faster than a tray.

[@markelder4789]

A deck boss brush on a pole is an excellent way of back brushing And it is fast. Deck boss can be acquired through the paint life company

[@257falcon]

Ready Seal worked great for us the last 3 years on several prodjects. What worked best for us was a 6in roller and small brush.

[@dwoods1178]

Your stain looks great!

[@petebeaven]

I bought a Wagner panel sprayer. It does the job! A 6x6 panel both sides in under 3 minutes. Recommended...

[@donshaughnessy3281]

Good morning Morgan’s. Mike, you and I are roughly the same age, and as members of the fraternal order of JOAT’S ( Jack of all Trades), we have both learned that the fastest way usually is not the best way. In my experience especially with raw wood, getting the finish to penetrate will insure long term results. Brushing and rolling is the best way to get these long term results . Love the color.

[@jodejekab]

just bought a Wagner had 1 before and i liked this cost 70 new

[@dandaniels4558]

Finally got those girls out there to stain the cabin. Your dividing and conquering with all there is to do. And the shed looks great that color stain. Great job yall

[@brucebello2049]

Great job girls, much better than I would have done

[@daveb5540]

Did my house(cedar shingles), deck and posts using a roller. Applied from the bottom up, as the stain came out of the wet roller it was pushed up the wood. I thought it worked very well. I have also used an airless pressure sprayer, which worked well, but I don't think it put as much stain into the wood.

[@christinenanaguy1143]

I need to get that ready sealer, I tried my $20.00 sprayer on my deck, and yes it was wasteful! Roller and brush are my best tools!

[@Tom-xr1nl]

I had good results with Devilbiss sprayer. Right air pressure forces it into the wood and all the small cracks.

[@seantjohnson]

I used a Wagner sprayer and it worked great. Ready seal is an oil based, self leveling, penetrating stain/sealer. You shouldn't have to have anyone follow you around. If you are going to use a roller, use the extension on it so you don't get splatter on you.

[@anthonyw2605]

Just had our new cedar fence stained. Fence guy sprayed 2/3 and his wife followed with a brush. One side we couldn't spray because neighbor has a truck and trailer right behind the fence. I ended up rolling stain myself and I think my side looks richer/deeper in color than the sprayed parts. Took a bit more time, but I'm happy with the outcome.

[@briandufty5081]

Best outro yet. Just epic. Absolutely love the colour of shed. I would paint that over the horror pink cabin. Haha. Xx.

[@TheJvonc]

Glad to see Piper supervised!!

[@dennismahonchak3228]

Mike last year we had our deck done by a professional painter and he used a roller to apply. He only uses Benjamin Moore Arber Coat for exterior stains. He said it's the best out there.

[@jecsmc]

As someone how has done many stainings of decks for customers, I found this product to be the best yet. I chose to use the roller method to be the best and use a medium-size brush to stain the sides of the boards to really make a nice finish. This product is oil-based and will beat all other products oil or water-based. I do work for many very off customers who expect perfection and long-lasting products. Spraying does not give as good of results and the overspray creates more work and clean up.

[@alwaysexploring8123]

My old house had cedar siding and I used a Wagner power painter. The first time I stained that house I did it with a 3" brush and it took about 25 hours. The Wagner could do it in about 7

[@bendigr]

i like that color on the wood shed !!

[@Meister1551]

A Roller and Brush are the way to go. Love the color of the stain too...
