A:  Hi Mitch, thanks for the question. For spraying our Interior/Exterior Multi-Surface Stain-Blocking Primer & Sealer I'd recommend using an airless sprayer with a .015" - .021" size tip. If needed, you can thin the primer with up to 8 ounces of water per gallon. Have a great day! -Ronald

A:  Hi Gazebo, thank you for your question. You can use our Multi-Surface Roof Paint for the gazebo roof. You'll want to clean the surface and use wire brush to remove all loose coating and particles. Then, use the Multi-Surface Primer and Sealer No. 436 before painting. Good luck with your project! -Giovanna

We're happy to provide more information about the preparation and application of our stains. Please reach out to us directly so we can assist you further. We hope to hear from you soon! -Lina

A:  Hi Marie, thanks for the question.
