Question 7

Q1: We want to use the VNC Penetrating stain for our fence. We have way too much fence to try and sand. Is pressure washing with a 3400 psi washer and the 30 degree tip as effective as sanding to clean the wood and open it up to receive the penetrating stain?Q2: Based on what I have seen on our deck which was previously improperly stained. It looks like the pressure washer would be as effective if not more effective than sanding to remove the old stain, Would you agree? View answer

We are looking to apply a natural penetrating oil to our floors. We're concerned with the application process involving a buffer. We have 2 x 120 sq ft areas, a smaller 60 sq ft area and 2 small hallways (6'x3'); we don't think that using a full size floor buffer will be very easy in small spaces. Is it advisable to use a orbital sander with a buffer pad? Is there any additional application resources we could reference outside of the pdf? View answer
