I have a large area of new decking and need to know whether to use Cuprinol spray stain preserver or the Ronseal type with a pad on a stick. It would take far too long with a brush though a brush might be the answer to the spindles on the balustrade around it.

Do I spray or brush the spindles and handrail? I have never done anything like this before.
Thank you all so far.

Spray the spindles and balustrade but I would advise the pads for the deck surface. You stated it was a new deck. The first coat of sealer is important. A brush or pad pushes the sealer into the boards. The walking surface takes a lot more wear and tear than the rails.

use the pad sheepswool the best not the synthetic stuff it's a much even coat than the spray a little more messy as in tools required, the end result fabulous.

Unfortunately it takes just as long with the "mopping" method. Spraying would be the least time consuming and the most economical
