Q: What lasts longer on a deck, stain or paint?

• <div><p>When choosing between deck stain or paint, knowing what will last longer is important. Deck paint lasts longer than deck stain. With deck paint, you can get up to <b>10 years</b> of coverage before you need to reapply. With deck stain, that time is significantly shorter at <b>two to three years</b>. </p></div>

Q: How can I stop paint from bubbling?

• <div><p>To make sure the paint won&rsquo;t bubble as you apply it, make sure to paint on a day that&rsquo;s cooler than 85 degrees Fahrenheit. When the temperature is too high, the paint won&rsquo;t dry evenly, which can result in bubbles forming on the surface. Another way to prevent paint from bubbling is to clean the walls, apply primer, and let everything dry completely before you begin.</p></div>

Q: How long should wood stain sit before wiping off?

• <div><p>If you want to achieve a deeper, darker stain color, wait 5 to 10 minutes before wiping it off. However, wipe it off faster for a lighter tone. When wiping off the stain during this part of the process, be sure to work in the direction of the wood&rsquo;s grain for best results.</p></div>

Q: Do you have to sand after spackling?

• <div><p>Yes, it's a good idea to sand the wall with fine-grit sandpaper after spackling, especially if you plan on painting. You can do this by hand or using a sander, but the idea is to ensure the spackle is flush with the wall. Sanding will give your wall a smooth, uniform finish and help your paint and wallpaper stay put.</p></div>
