I hand brushed the decking and rails and it seemed to go on smoothly. The older wood really sucked it in. I didn't have any problem with lap marks. However, I wash brushing about 3 boards at once. I'd brush a foot or so on one, then another, then another then do the next foot or so etc. The hardest part for me was getting my cheapo power painter adjusted to spray the lattice. Once that was done, the brushing was easy.

The stain was pretty thin but almost had the color of chocolate syrup. I'm assuming these are the solids? If so, this stuff should last for a few years. Wish I was more accomplished so I could give you more qualified info. However, for a homeowner DIY'er it was a great stain to use.
