Sanded cedar deck. Sealer with brush or roller?
 

Do people here have any strong opinion for brushing on or rolling on
sealer (Penofin) onto a just-sanded cedar deck?

Both. Roller will do the top, but brush will get between the boards.

Are you done with the sanding? How did it work out?

It looks and feels amazing. Came up from a dirty gray, rough,
splintery surface to a great looking smooth brown. Especially nice
appearance when its wet.

Thing is, if I brush the gap, then I might as well do the whole thing
with the brush, the planks are only 6" wide.

My opinions:
Rolling is faster and better on your back whether it's a first coat or
second?
Rolling puts on a heavier amount of sealer.
It's easier to throw away a roller than clean a more expensive brush?

Slop the stain on there with a roller. Then use a brush to even out
and fill in the cracks and such.

How about a paint sprayer? Trouble is, with them you have to mask
everything within 50 feet. The overspray goes everywhere. But -because-
the spray goes everywhere, it gets into places that a brush may have a hard
time getting to.

I've used a 1 qt cheap airless sprayer to put the paint down, then
overbrush it to get goot penetration. It goes really fast this way.

I prefer a large thick brush, natural bristle wooden handle. A roller
is faster on large flat surfaces, but you'll need a brush for hard to
reach areas.
