About This Product

This innovative deck stain pad absorbs more stain compared to its traditional alternatives. This lets you spread more stain each time you pick up the brush, minimizing the time spent on the project and allowing for a smooth, even coat with optimal coverage. It can also be applied with less pressure, so you exert less energy as you stain your deck or hardwood floor. Built to provide a smooth, even coating of stain on hardwood floors, outdoor fences, and backyard decks, this 9 in. stain applicator pad is a must-have for your next staining project. The visually-pleasing finish provides a subtle, understated aesthetic that will make your DIY project look like it was done by a professional. Designed with a rounded edge when attached to deck stain applicators, this deck stain pad offers added longevity compared to less rugged models. The rounded edge design can withstand screws, nails, rough wood and splinters, increasing the lifespan of the pad and minimizing the number of replacements you need. Featuring a convenient application method to connect the replacement pad to the deck stain applicator, you can swap out replacement pads in just a few seconds whenever you need a replacement.

      Can this be cleaned after applying oil stain on decks so that it can be reused later? If so, what would be the best way to clean it?

      Answer This Question

      With my experience I doubt it can be washed for reuse and if you could I doubt it will still perform the same. The pads are made to be disposable. My advice would be toss it and replace.

        Yes, absolutely, as answered above - soap and warm water will clean it to original white color, if you clean right after staining. It, however, will not last forever, since it does worn out.

        By|Sep 15, 2022

          I used a Home Depot stain brand and cleaned the applicator with a mild soap and water.

          By|Sep 16, 2022

          Yes. Mineral spirits. Rubber gloves and a bit of squishing about, changing the solvent a few times. Then some soap and water if you want.

              Absolutely

              By|Mar 17, 2021

                Yes, but the material has to be thick enough not to run out of the pad. It could work with paint, but stain might run out before you can get it on the wall!

                By|Sep 24, 2020

                It may be used on smooth walls, but is more coarse than recommended. When the paint dried, it would not be as smooth a finish and could possibly have drips and runs. One would have to 'draw out' the paint so it would be smoothed out over the surface. A wall pad would do this on one stroke and would be faster, and smoother finishing that the deck pad.

                By|Sep 23, 2020

                If you’re staining walls then yes. If you’re painting, a roller would work much better.

                              It has a hard plastic backing, an open cell foam pad and synthetic fiber. I have not experienced any linting with these. Works very well for flooring other large areas, cleans up easily after use of water based stains/coatings

                              By|Jul 19, 2020

                              think just some kind of plastic.

                                I have used it many times to apply oil based stains.

                                By|Jun 3, 2020

                                  Hi, Elle! Yes, I just used this on my deck project last weekend. The pad was very easy to apply with and make sure you do not over-saturate the pad because it hold a lot of stain and the stain is thin. Make sure you shake, mix your stain and then use the pad in the pan and you will enjoy the speed you can work with it. Press down slightly, so you do not need to go back over it with a rag or brush.

                                    Yes, I used this with a deck project, it works great. Do not over saturate the pad, it holds plenty!

                                      Threads to attach a pole are too deep
                                      I'll be honest. It works as intended and as an applicator speeds things up, but the problem I have in using it to apply wood stain on newly sanded floor is that the threads are too deep in the handle, and the handle itself is narrow. I am unable to attach a simple broom handle because the broomstick is stopped by how narrow and deep the handle of the applicator's threads are. I had to buy a new handle, and even that one barely latches on slightly, impeding progress more than I want it to.

                                        This applicator pad has been a backsaver! I used a regular roller to stain my deck and had to go back with a paint brush and fix all of the missed spots. I got this to work on another section of decking that was a little older. It was magnificent! Straight, perfect coverage, pivots to go in edges, just the right coverage. It took much less stain for better coverage and a beautiful finish. I will never undertake staining or painting again without making sure I have this applicator pad.

                                        Great product while it works, poor quality control
                                        currently staining 2x aged deck totaling 900 sq ft with this applicator. First one lasted until 70% completion on 2nd deck when it started to peel away to replaced with new pad. Pad refused to lock in. Turns out it is a manufacturing defect as the plastic channel is half the depth of the original preventing lock in. I'm reusing the 1st pad to finish the job but my advice is to check any replacement pad in store to make sure it doesn't suffer this issue.

                                          Super easy to use and it works just as described. Just attach it to your paint pole and application is a breeze. I did about 600 sqft of decking and there's still plenty of life left in the original pad. The only thing better than this would probably be a professional sprayer. I'd definitely buy this product again.

                                            Wow!!! I was so very impressed and happy to have purchased this applicator! I was able to complete the entire 14'x14' deck and steps so much faster than with either just a roller or spray. This allows you to cover more space AND to press in the oil-based stain (no extra wiping down with rags or brushes)! Wonderful addition to any project! Would give it 10 stars, if possible!

                                            We used this applicator to refinish an old hardwood floor with Polyurethane in two rooms pro: The pad easily provides a uniform finish The shape of the pad allows for precise edging in rooms with trim installed, con: the pad handle feels flimsy, replace pad with caution We used the following method to apply poly in a very nice and uniform coat, see pictures. 1.touch the pad into the poly as to saturate the 'brush', don't dip past the foam 2 distribute the material along a floor board 3. start by edging off the floor trim 4. push on the pad down to distribute the material 5. towards the end release pressure and lift handle off floor then repeat, but feather a final 'light pressure' stroke against the previous section which is still wet Step 3 and 4 are unique to this pad, compared to lamb wool applicators. Due to it's shape one can edge precisely. When you push down after starting to move, the hairs fold down and push the previously thick applied material ahead of the pad, filling gaps and uneven sections of an old floor. The results of the first coat are shown in the last picture with the pad 'stored' (a kitchen towel soaked in paint thinner under the pad - to keep it over night for the second coat) For demonstration, pictures were taken finishing a small area (A possible improvement would be cutting one of the sides at an angle other than 90deg, allowing to coat a corner more easily) I will switch flooring applicators to this!

                                            It’s already got a leg up on the competition because this system has become my new favorite painting tool. Now I’ve only tried this for painting, so I can’t comment comment on how well it stains. You can paint a wall way more efficiently than with a roller, this thing comes with everything you need to get started. Handle and pad. Handles work with both 7 and 9 inch pads. I really enjoy the simplicity of this tool. You slide the pad on, it locks in place it’s adjustable for different angles, it’s lightweight. You can even throw on a threaded extension pole to reach the high stuff. Try it out!
