I just received all my equipment that I purchased from Bob at Pressure Tek and want to get my fet wet by refinishing the wood planks on my trailer to practice. I bought a new trailer but they spray painted the wood planks black and half-assed it so it 's all blotchy and uneven. I also want to seal and stain it so that it holds up against water best as possible since it will be used as my rig trailer.
I have already purchased wood brightener and stripper from pressure tek but would like to know what stain and sealer I should try as well.
Do they make stains that can just be sprayed and left on?
I've stained furniture before and you have to remove the excess stain or its more like paint and thats a messy hastle.
I know its a long shot but would someone be so kind to explain in detail how to correctly achieve my goal from start to finish?
Should I wet the wood before applying the stripper first? How long do i let it work into the wood before I wash it with low pressure? Do I need to let the wood dry before I apply the brightener? How long do I let it stay on the wood before I rinse? Do I apply the stain before the seal? Does the wood need to be completely dry before applying stain??? and so on until I am finished.
I know I'm asking a lot but its my first attempt at wood restoring so want to make sure I do it correctly and dont miss any steps.
