- 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.

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.
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!
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.
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.
I love it when the kids get to experience life and go to work
Your color choice was beautiful “Natural Oak”
Would like to see it now since it has been a few years 😊
Great product MIKE, just pump up the sprayer until it gets tight and keep it pumped up tight. This is stain and not water so it takes a lot of pressure to make it spray!! I know it is thin but not as thin as water. I installed a tire air valve in my tanks and use my air compressor to pressure up all my spray bottles. Works great!!! Try it.
How is it holding up? I just had a contractor apply this to my deck, it seems a little slick on the deck boards, the railing sucked it up right away. After watching him I regret paying someone to do it, but the fella needed the work and I'm lucky enough to be working so I'm glad I could help someone and get to learn something too, I will be adding the annual or hopefully biannual applications.
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
Yes you are getting better at the selection. Yes buy the thin natural tones, the will soak in better. You may have to thin the stain,to spray. I thin mine when i do. That roller is doing a good job.
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.
I know I say it every time but you guys have the best music ever
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.
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.
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
I missed the face Melissa made had to go back and see it priceless
I second it on the roller and the look from Melissa. Lol.
THE look 15:03 lol
Mike - I don’t know ... maybe DeWalt makes a 20-volt sprayer,
Melissa - 😳 (thinking ... NO! Not another DeWalt tool?)
I saw that look also!
Ready seal is the best , I mostly use an airless paint sprayer and immediately back brush an area like 6’x6’ On area’s where you don’t want over spray , I hand brush it on. I also lay down plastic sheeting for over spray.
Melissa’s face expression at 15 minutes was priceless. Same thing my wife does when I say I need new toys, I mean tools. 😜
Melissa can say a Lot with a Simple expression , the channel wouldn't be the same with out her !
There's gotta be a special place in God's heart for the mouth breathers right?
Michael Rambo ,
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. ♥
i agree with Tony, that look on Melissa face was priceless when talking about a Dewalt sprayer
Hi mike i have used a wagner sprayer for staining fences however you first have to adjust the fan nozel to a wide spray and don't get too close or it will run. And there will be times when you will have a run and then follow up with a roller. In side the shed it would be most helpful.Injoy staining and Have A Day.
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.
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.
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
I love the stain and I think rolling it on is the best way.
instead of the news and coffee in the morning ,it is outdoors with the morgans is so much better.
I had good results with Devilbiss sprayer. Right air pressure forces it into the wood and all the small cracks.
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.
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.
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.
I drilled a hole and installed a tire valve so I can pressurize the sprayer with a compressor. I got over 300 feet of fence and my deck done very fast and easy
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!😂😂✌🏻️
Melissa's face when Mike says he's going to buy another Dewalt tool. 😆 LOL!
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.
I think the color is fantastic. Not sure what is up with your tips on the sprayer, but my sprayer has only one tip, and it is adjustable. Screwing it out, it sprays a stream like yours, but the more you tighten it up, it sprays a mist, which is what I think you need for the application you are looking for.
I stained 200 Ft of 6 foot cedar fence with Ready Seal. Used a rented airless sprayer from Home Depot. No problems .
You'll get better penetration with the roller & brush , it will take longer , but quality work always takes time ! love the colour too .
I have always used a roller and had great result. Have fun Mike.
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.
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.
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.
Agreed
Airless followed by a brush.
Use the roller Mike. I sprayed my fence about 10 yrs ago and within 3 yrs the stain was peeling off. like you said you need to work it in to the wood. Great job buy the way.
Stained my pool deck and privacy fence with wagoner 990 airless out of 5 gallon containers worked perfect using redi seal
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
A Roller and Brush are the way to go. Love the color of the stain too...
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.
Well too late maybe for this time. But for in the future I highly recommend using a stain pad. They have them on Amazon shur-line 9 inch pad with handle $9.05. I got mine from Lowes. I stained my deck and fence this past fall. After having a deck for 30+ years and a wood fence for 17 years. And many hours staining and using different apllication methods. I can say these pads are the only way to go. Fast no mess no waste. Try them you will LOVE them! I promise. Rough wood will tear them fairly easy. I just learned to use less pressure on those boards that were rough. So worth the money.
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.
Good morning Mike Melissa and the chain gang👍👍. When you clean out the sprayer you might try putting in a gallon of water then pumping your pressure up MORE and see if it works better? Don’t try thinning it, just ruins the sealant and the sprayer. Hope you can get it figured out, it is a big time and energy saver. It’s looking really good, both projects. Uncle Hunter is teaching Ty really good, 👍👍. Thanks for sharing with us. Fred.
water sprays through it very nicely. the stain which is thicker needs a lot more pressure also
Wagner airless I used one on a out building a it works great and not very expensive easy to use just need electrical source
Hey guys, I’d recommend a Wagner Paint Sprayer, it has a lil 1 gallon tank. I used one to paint the inside of my garage. We did use a roller on it after but, great product.
I have a 63 ft handicap ramp for my wife. I waited a year to stain because of the treated wood. I used a 4 inch brush for the whole ramp. My father was a carpenter and he always said a brush is the best for working the stain into the wood. I think a roller with a thicker nap and they have brushes made for stain as well. Not sold on a paint sprayer for a solution.
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].
I sealed/stained my privacy fence a year ago. First half with a sprayer and the second half with a brush and roller. The sprayed part faded out FAST. The rest looks great.
I've used a hand pump sprayer, Wagner power sprayer, and roller/brush method for apply fence stain. The hand pump sprayer did not work that well. Using a lower price point Wagner sprayer, worked quite well and the stain lasted just as long as the roller/brush method. I used Olympic stain (thin type, not the semi-solid) in all of my applications. I got about 5 years out of the stain before it faded enough to need a pressure wash and re-stain.
I bought a pump sprayer to stain the backyard fence and it did the same exact thing. I ended up using a Wagner Sprayer and it worked well. However, there was a lot of stain wasted because it goes on heavy.
Mike. When they paint the stucco on our place in Florida they spray it first and the a second person comes along with a roller to get it into spall areas.
Roller Tip.....I’ve allows used a handle extension on my roller regardless of the job. Usually a sawed off broom stick normally 18” to 24” long, or even 36”. It Provides leverage and additional distance overhead and below. Plus saves bending over each time you apply more stain / paint to the roller.
I bought a Wagner panel sprayer. It does the job!
A 6x6 panel both sides in under 3 minutes. Recommended...
Looks like Tony Murphy beat me to the punch, Graco makes a cordless sprayer that uses the Dewalt batteries. Have used them before and a good investment for the amount of area you have on the sheds. Melissa's look when you said purchase a new tool was priceless - it's the same one my wife gives me every time I get a new tool, but I tell her when she quits adding to my to-do list I will stop buying tools to get them done. LOL - Stay safe.
Over here in Kent in the UK we have barns that are very very old because they were painted with a black tar. With that in mind, I decided to experiment with Creosote (Creocote) mixed 60/40 with old Diesel sump oil. (Creosote comes in light and dark only!) Choosing the light one, I painted my soft wood shed, doors and garden gates. 15 years later, during the lockdown, I've just had to do then again. The wood was not rotten at all after all that time. I have a large cedar workshop that I painted with creosote just about 4 years ago, and it needs doing again already. Problem is, it does come up very rustic, but also very black when mixed with old sump oil, and the part my wife doesn't like is that it will still blacken your hand when you touch it 15 years later. But if you only want to paint every 15 years, give it a go. Old oil is free, and 5litres of creosote is as cheap as £5. That's about 3 dollars in foreign money. Stay safe all of you and keep them videos coming!
Laying here in the hospital just waiting for a OWTM upload. YESSSSSS!
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!
I always find you really have to pump those sprayers up to the max for them to work well 👍
I did the same exact thing, got frustrated and, went and bought a Greco airless did a fantastic job! Now I have a sprayer for all my wood needs! Buy once cry once!! So they say.....
but i have found there a big pain to clean after
I built my barn 30 years ago, sided it with hemlock, never stained or sealed it, let it gray naturally. Still looks great.
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
I like the look and i think the roller would be bess and Hunter may love helping with it
Get a long handle for your roller! Saves overreaching and bending over. It also makes the work go faster. I love the color. Love your channel!
Have you ever tried sun frog. I use the cedar tone on almost everything. It lasts 3 to 5 years depending on how much sun and it is easy to remove with degreaser and use 30 second cleaner to brighten the wood. It is by far the best product i have used.
That is the best outro yet! Who doesn't love a giraffe in a go kart!
The actual nozzles may have adjustment, worth a check but it looks like lack of pressure Mike. really nice tone. looks great.
For paint or stain 4x6in. sponge with handle you can also put a broom handle to make it easier.You can do a 4x8 sheet of plywood in 5 minutes. I bought mind at Lowe's
That big smile went south quick when mike mentionsed a dewalt sprayer!..😂😂😂...too funny!!😆😆😆
Love the color of the stain on the wood shed. 👍
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.
Mike - I have to agree with others who commented on the look that crossed Melissa's face when you talked about the possibility of a DeWalt cordless sprayer. Melissa I don't think you'd make it as a poker player. An airless sprayer would give you the ability to coat things evenly, but it will put down less product per sweep, which would mean paint, let dry, then another coat. The airless would also reduce any runs that happen on a vertical surface. As I've said before, free advice is sometimes worth exactly what you paid for it. Great video. Will be watching to see how the staining goes at the mini-cabin. Blessings to you, Melissa, and your family. Hi to the Hunt man. Spicy chicken - Yum!
The stain looks great Mike. I do think a power sprayer is worth the investment however and will make that job really go quickly. You have better things to do. Quote of the day!
There will be times in our life when we feel our story isn’t
being told and we will wonder if we are worthy. How did we get here and why me?
But in the end, it all comes down to the knowing who you are and putting
yourself out there. No two of us are alike. We are all born dreamers of one
type or another. We are either day dreamers that can’t see the road ahead…nothing
but a foggy mist or we are idealist who believe that nothing can stop us and
the path for as far as our romantic thoughts will take us will be our guide.

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!
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 .
Mike, I have a Log home and I have to restain every 6 years. That pump sprayer should have a wide range nozzle in there. Like a fan Best way to do it is going from bottom to top and then you back brush the stain in. Try that.
Roller, brush and kids looks like best idea.
Wooster Bravo stain brush on an extension pole to back brush after you spray, works perfect.
I like the way the wood shed is turning out
Maybe DeWalt has one! You cannot script that response...Absolutely love the video. Thank you for sharing that.
Hire a pro to come in. Take him a half hour.. Sprayer drives that stuff in. Make yourself a new friend in the process... Supports the little guys.. No down side to it..
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!
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.
Good Morning to you and yours. Use just what you are doing and that is the roller. Have a Day
2 coats with a brush I just did 100 yards of fence looks spot on!
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.
Hey Morgans....ready seal is a great product. Not cheap, but what is? I have used it on cedar fencing applied with a Harbour freight airless paint sprayer. Goes on very fast but takes two people....one spraying, the other following behind with brush. You and Melissa could do the whole shed inside and out in a morning. Lasts for years. Mine was applied 4 years ago and not repeated yet in Oklahoma sun.
The hand pump sprayer didn't have enough pressure in it to do the job right .the stain looks great. What was the length of the knap on the roller that does make a difference when applying product.
Hi Mike, I have used pump sprayers staining a lot and they have always worked week for me. Looked to me like the nozzles were stopped up or just weren't metered correctly and all you were greeting was a stream and not a spray. I also have a Wagner spray system but only use it for painting. Good luck and I do like the color and the way it looks.
It seemed like the sprayer wasn't pressurized enough or that maybe the hose/nozzle had a small clog. Just didn't seem to be atomized enough to get a wide fan spray. Love the color!!!
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.
we did our building with a sprayer like you have it worked great just need to pump it about 60+ pumps
A roller for stain/paint is best. My experience is that an expensive airless will speed the process. You have to have experience and still it will occasionally run. So a brush is needed some also. A roller will give you what you want. A brush will catch those places a roller can't. It does look good. The color, I like also. Thank you for sharing. The family is a great team. Ty is getting some good overseer instruction from Hunter. Your whole family is the greatest. Keep us dazzled and unfrazzled as we rebuild our Country bro. You and Melissa make an exceptional team. Blessings to you on the homefront. I'm really missing those tractors....🤔 hey sitting in my wheelchair with a great cup of coffee 🍵...☝💪🇺🇸🙏👉...
Thanks so much
Roll and brush
. Applies well, and with good coverage.
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.
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.
Did my house siding and my cedar fence with 3 - 4 inch brush. You do need to work the stain into the wood. For stain though would use high volume-low pressure sprayer . Will be of good use for the other buildings you plan Just my opinion
Spraying is definitely the way to go. Go rent a sprayer electric sprayer, you can adjust the pressure to get the right penetration. Might have to have someone go behind you. We put two coats on our 30 x40 garage in about 7.5 hours. The rented sprayer will hold 5 gallons of stain. It lasted for 8 years before we had to do it again. The exterior is T111, don’t know if that would make a difference.
