I'm gonna go over the steps and applying Cabot gold to outdoor furniture when I make sure your wood is clean smooth and bare sanding this with 120 and then 180 grit sandpaper is going to give you the best finish you're open to your can I like using a multi-tool because it is a nice wide surface and rather than prying in one area and trying to pull it off you'll bend the lid and it's hard to get back on just work it slowly all the way around and it's going to do the best job and you're going to be able to reseal it better you want to stir it thoroughly before you start using it and then often while you're staining you want to use a quality stain brush with natural bristles let's start by staining the bottom first don't over apply it especially in the corners now that I finished the legs I'll do the back of the chair next that way if I have any dripping I'll do the seat last when you're dipping your brush you're just getting the very tip on here and just touching it against the side you do not need very much of the finish on this brush and then just work it and smooth it this is going to go a long way now that the backs done we'll finish with the seat as I'm rushing this finish I'm making sure that it's a nice thin even coat that there's no pooling of the material this is a two coat finish so the first coat is staining the wood the second coat is going to seal it I'm going to allow this to dry overnight and then we'll apply our second coat it's been 24 hours so now I'm going to apply the second coat you can put the second coat right onto this or you can lightly sand this with 220 sandpaper if you sand that make sure that you use a tack rag and remove all the sanding dust you get a great finish and you get protection against Sun water and extreme temperature and I'll put more information underneath the video
