We fill each board to capacity in our first application. We do not deal in the number of coats. This is much different than many of our competitors who apply just enough to cover the wood “skin deep”. As mentioned before, we apply much more stain than our competitors, covering only an average of 80 square feet per gallon on old cracked wood and around 100-120 square feet per gallon on newer tighter wood. These are general rules, so do not insist we apply x gallons per square foot to your wood. We, not you, make that decision based on our knowledge of how much stain your wood needs to be filled to capacity.
Notice: we never use the word saturation and we will not be held responsible to achieve something that is impossible, unless done inside a retort.
