First off I would like to thank HomeRight, licensing partner of Black & Decker, for letting me use their products and apologize as well. I have had these two products and just could not get the chance to use them. I had plans but they all fell through, first my sister in law’s log home was going to get stained but they had the company do the work instead.
Then the contractors were supposed to fix my roof so I was going to paint the ceilings were it was leaking in but the roofing work got postponed. I still have not seen hide nor hair of them since they came out and gave my landlord the bad news that it will cost him much more because you they new plywood on the roof with the new shingles.
I did want to add why it had been so difficult to get to use the PaintStick and StainStick to show one thing, other than my little problems. Sometimes things do not always go the way you want them to, do it yourself projects are the same way to be sure.
The PaintStick and StainStick are two products that can ease the problems that come with having to paint or stain those large things like rooms, decks or even houses. Both are basically a pole that holds the fluid and a roller or pad that has the fluid coming right out of the center for application.
Do not get me wrong, these are both great products but there are also some things you should know about the PaintStick and StainStick, they are messy to clean up. I have read a lot on the internet and do have to agree in part with the main complaint people had but I certainly would not call it a complaint, more of a warning. Cleanup does take a bit more work but this is more than offset by the quick work of the actual painting or staining, the PaintStick and StainStick will quickly take care of even large jobs.
You should also know at the start that these tools are for use with either water or oil based paints and stains but I would not recommend using them with any oil based products that use mineral spirits for cleanup. While the company does not suggest this I do, using an oil based paint or stain would cost a lot to clean up after as you would have to purchase a lot of mineral spirits or other cleaners.
