Learn how to apply water-based stain with four different tools and methods.

Assemble your tools and materials. This demonstration was set up in the grass, but your project may require a drop cloth/plastic sheeting to protect plants, walkways, and lawn furniture at risk from stain spatters. If you use a ladder, be sure to follow safety precautions in placing and bracing it. If you plan to use a paint gun/spray gun, wear safety glasses and a mask to protect yourself from the chemical mist.
