I love all of the Finish Max products, but for big projects, the Homeright Finish Max Pro is the best option. It’s more lightweight because the motor is separate of the spray gun. My niece Leann and I made a deal. I needed some old fence boards for my Etsy shop, and she wanted a new fence. I got a great deal on some new boards, and she is carefully taking down the old boards and saving them for me. Then the nice folks at Thompson’s WaterSeal offered me a chance to try out their new waterproofing stains. They have 5 colors and each come in

  • Transparent (Provides complete outdoor wood protection by adding subtle color)
  • Semi (Adds beautiful color while still allowing some wood grain to be seen)
  • Solid (Hides the wood grain while allowing wood texture to show)

 

 

fence-beforeSo, off I went with my HomeRight Finish Max Pro to tackle Leann’s fence. I don’t remember exactly how many sections of fence she has, but she’s been slowly replacing the boards whenever she gets the time. I of course love the look of the perfectly weathered gray boards.

thompsons-waterseal-finish-max-proLeann chose Acorn, in the Transparent finish. I have my trusty Finish Max Pro all ready to make this job a breeze! It’s great for all paints and stains, but because the Thompson’s WaterSeal is water based, it sprayed great and cleanup was easy too!

spray-fence-finish-max-proUsing an extension cord, the power cord and the hose on the Finish Max Pro allows me to reach all the way down the front sections of fence. I started on the left and worked toward the right. Leann chose not to replace the 2×4 cross boards, and I like the way the Thompson’s WaterSeal helps all the boards match better, even using the Transparent option.

thompsons-waterseal-stain finish-max-pro-thompsons-watersealLeann got in on the action too! She chose to do the wide horizontal spray option for the vertical boards, then spin the nozzle around to do get a vertical spray to do the cross boards. The Finish Max products all have an adjustment that will spray a pattern from 1-6”.

paintbrush-handy-for-dripsI keep a chip brush in my Finish Max bag—it really comes in handy if I have drips. I just kept it in a tub of water and shook it out if we got too close to the fence and got a run. The Thompson’s WaterSeal is a great consistency for spraying. It does say “do not thin”.

Homeright-Finish-Max-Pro-stain-fenceLook how great the fence looks, and how there is very little stain on the grass! That’s my favorite part about the Finish Max products, so little over spray! TIP:  The Finish Max Pro comes with two paint cups. We tag teamed this job. While someone was spraying, someone else was filling up the empty cup with stain. It really was a time saver!

  1. My husband and I are getting our house ready to put on the market, so we have a ton of projects to get done. The first project is the kitchen. The Homeright Finish Max Pro would be perfect for painting the cabinets. Thanks for this giveaway!!!

  2. I’m going to build a pallet deck and furniture for my back yard. This would make staining all of it a lot easier.

  3. I plan on painting my kitchen cabinets this summer. Also I will be making a lattice cover by my garage door. This would be awesome to win.

  4. We have a painted wood front porch that must have old paint scraped away and new stain or paint applied, a large back deck that must be watersealed SOON and a new extension of it that should be stained as soon as it is finished. That is a LOT of stain, paint and waterproofing to be done. The Max Pro would be a huge help and cut the time and effort greatly.

  5. I need to do my fence too!!! We have so much to stain, with 5 kids under 7, I need it done quickly!! This would be awesome:)

  6. I tried to get my DH to stain our fence when it was new. “Too much work.” Well, this would eliminate that excuse forever. Sign me up!

  7. We are looking at staining our front deck this summer! This would be fabulous, and I need to check out the Thompsons too! Thanks~
