Hi, I'm looking for tips on how to finish a lot of boards efficiently.
I'm staining my cedar fence boards before I install the fence in the spring....
I've tried spraying but find that I have to touch up each board with a brush after (probably because I'm not very good with the sprayer). So I'm left with brushing on the finish but I have trouble getting the edges nice and I can only do one side at a time. My process is like this:
- sand a bunch of boards
- apply stain to one face and 2 edges, and put the board on a drying rack I've made. Repeat until all boards have one face and 2 edges done
- after they dry, do the other side.
- repeat.
I have about another 200 boards to go - so any tips on efficiently finishing large quantities of boards would be helpful, and very appreciated.
I'm afraid I just have to suck it up and keep on going but I'd like to hear what others do
