I really love painting, i could paint all day. i have always been the person family or friends call if they need some painting done because i am always quick to accept task & make sure i don't leave anything not completed & i make sure to not be messy & make the cleanest lines possible. i am always joking saying i have smart brush technology because i cut in very nicely. haha. i always take my time in a slow & steady fashion but seems to have always been most efficient in paint like jobs. i work diligently till i have finished the job completely because i know how stressful those types of projects can be for a homeowner. i try to make it as smooth as possible so taking on a new necessary project is enjoyable & breezy. (:

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Exterior paints contain more volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, making them dangerous when used indoors. Without the free ventilation of the great outdoors, it can take longer for the fumes to dissipate than interior paint. While you may notice the smell lessening more quickly, you should be wary of paint fumes inside for 48 to 72 hours after it dries.

Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you’re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around four hours between coats.

Stains penetrate wood best when it's cool and dry, so you want to avoid moisture. If the wood is wet upon application, or if it rains before the stain dries, the water will soak into the wood and displace the staining solution. This leads to a flaky and blotchy look, which is the opposite of a sumptuous even coat. Once the stain has fully cured, after about 3 days, rain shouldn’t cause you any problems.

Yes, it’s generally a very good idea to seal your deck after pressure washing. Power washing removes dirt and debris, but also a thin layer of wood. Without sealing, exposed wood can weather more quickly. Power washing will also leave you with a clean surface that will be much easier to stain and seal.

Wet-sanding and dry-sanding each have pros and cons. Dry-sanding is less messy, so it’s a good option if you’re trying to minimize dust (for example, if you’re sanding an occupied home or working with particularly dry or dusty drywall mud). However, dry-sanding is quicker because you don’t have to keep rinsing a sponge or wait for it to dry before painting.
