Backyard Playset


  Easily give a durable and flawless finish to a bare wood playset.

What you need:

  • Krylon Exterior Semi-Transparent Wood Stain
  • Drop Cloth
  • Latex gloves (optional) 
  • Fine to Medium Sandpaper (optional)
  • Damp Rag (optional)

Tips

If you are staining on top of a previously stained surface, make sure the stain will penetrate before using. To test, splash a couple drops of water on the surface. If the water penetrates, then so will the stain. If not, you may have to sand the surface first.

How and How Long:

  1. (Optional) For best results, lightly sand the entire wood surface. This will help open up the grain so the stain can penetrate deeper into the wood. Sand with the grain of the wood rather than against it.
  2. (Optional) After sanding, clean the surface with a damp rag to remove any dust. Clean the rag periodically to avoid build up.
  3. Stain the entire playset using thin, light coats of Redwood Spray Stain until surface is covered. If additional coats are desired, wait 15 minutes between each.
  4. Allow stain to dry 24-48 hours prior to using.
Approximate project time: 1.5 hours.
