Q: Is wood stain flammable after it dries?

• <div><p>Wood stain is not flammable after it dries. The solvent in wood stain is what causes the liquid form to be highly flammable, but the stain drying process involves the solvents dissolving, which leaves behind a non-flammable product on your wood project. Wood stain is, however, flammable before you apply it, so you should always store partially full cans and used wood stain rags away from sources of heat and open flames.</p></div>

Q: Do you stain both sides of a fence?

• <div><p>You should stain both sides of your fence to get the full benefits. Fences often fall along property lines, so you may want to save a buck by leaving your neighbor&rsquo;s side in the dust. If you do that, all you get is a slightly better view. Moisture and UV rays can still sneak in through the side that&rsquo;s unpainted or worn down and damage your fence. Rot and rust will spread, even if you can&rsquo;t see it from your side of the lawn.</p></div>

Q: How long does stain last?

• <div><p>A properly applied coat of stain will last between 3 and 8 years, depending on your climate. If you live in a place where your fence experiences a lot of moisture or high heat, your stain will last for a shorter period than in more temperate conditions. We recommend reapplying stain every 3 to 5 years to keep your wood in good condition.</p></div>

Q: Can I paint or stain my fence myself, or should I hire a professional?

• <div><p>DIY is possible with proper tools and knowledge, but professionals can ensure even application and high-quality results, saving time and hassle.</p></div>

Q: What is the easiest way to stain your fence?

• <div><p>The easiest way to stain a fence depends on your experience and comfort level with the project. Applying stain with an airless sprayer or pump sprayer might get the stain job done faster, but it can be tricky. Paint rollers and stain brushes are slower but simpler for a DIY project.</p></div>

Overall this company maintained very consistent professionalism throughout the whole process. The movers were courteous and hard-working. They showed up early and got the move finished faster than I expected. While I feel the prices are bit expensive, I would definitely use USA Family Moving...
