Demianwulf 14 Report post Posted July 8, 2009 (edited) I've lurked around the forums and found out for the most part what I've needed, but I have a few last questions before I stain my deck. I am pretty happy with how it looks now after the cleaning, so I'm off to stain. From what I've gathered, I think Olympic from lowes is about the best stain I can get from a big box store, right??? Ideally, I'd like to save some money, and I think I've read that the olympic is a bit more newbie friendly thats why im leaning in that direction. I have no problem applying with brushes and rollers, but is it worth my time in investing in a hand pump sprayer? Any other tips in application or stain brand would be great. Can I find wooster brushes and shurline poles and applicators at big box stores like home depot/lowes? If not what should I buy instead?
