StainPaddle™ 14" Long Wool Brush
Reach Tight Spots. Finish Faster. Waste Less.
Some of the hardest places to stain are the places you can barely reach.
The StainPaddle™ 14" Wool Stain Applicator is a long-handled staining tool designed for tight and hard-to-reach spaces between balusters, behind railings, along fence pickets, around gazebo framing, and underneath decks where conventional stain brushes and rollers just don't work well.
Handmade in North America with a highly absorbent wool applicator head and the durable 14" wood handle makes it easier to stain underneath decks, behind railings, between balusters and in other hard-to-reach areas where a conventional stain brush can't comfortably reach.
Whether you're staining a backyard fence or maintaining the deck at the cottage, it's one of those simple tools you'll wonder how you worked without.
Why You'll Love the StainPaddle™
High-Absorption Wool Applicator
The natural wool head holds significantly more stain than a conventional brush, helping you cover more wood between dips while maintaining an even application.
North American Made & Handmade
Built in North America using a handmade wool applicator designed for professional staining and repeated use.
14" Reach for Awkward Areas
The long wood handle reaches underneath decks, behind railings, between balusters and into areas that are frustrating, or nearly impossible, to reach with an ordinary brush.
Excellent on Rough Wood
The wool conforms naturally to uneven surfaces and works especially well on cedar, pressure-treated lumber and other rough-sawn wood.
Smooths Drips & Overspray
Spraying your stain? Follow behind with the StainPaddle™ to smooth runs, blend overspray and work stain evenly into the wood.

Use it horizontally, vertically or upside down, especially useful underneath decks, stairs, railings and gazebo structures.

Pro Tip 💡
Use light pressure when you want a smooth, controlled finish.
Apply firmer pressure to release more stain into rough or thirsty wood.
And when spraying stain, keep a StainPaddle™ nearby to catch runs and work overspray into the wood before it dries.
One simple tool. A whole lot fewer impossible-to-reach places.
FAQ
What is the StainPaddle™ made from?
The applicator is handmade using highly absorbent wool attached to a durable 14" wood handle. The wool holds stain and conforms to rough and uneven wood surfaces.
Can I use it with oil- and water-based stain?
Yes. The StainPaddle™ can be used with both oil- and water-based wood stains and sealers. It's also suitable for many wood cleaners and brighteners.
Can the StainPaddle™ be reused?
Yes. Unlike disposable foam applicators, the StainPaddle™ is designed for repeated use when properly cleaned after staining.
Why use this instead of a regular paintbrush?
The long, slim design reaches areas conventional brushes and rollers struggle with, while the wool head carries plenty of stain and works extremely well over rough wood.
Is it useful if I'm spraying my stain?
Very much so. Contractors can use the StainPaddle™ behind a sprayer to smooth runs, blend overspray and work stain into areas where the spray pattern doesn't provide an even finish.
What is the best stain applicator for tight or hard-to-reach spaces?
The StainPaddle™ 14" Wool Stain Applicator is specifically designed for staining tight and awkward areas. Its slim wool applicator and long wood handle make it ideal for reaching between balusters and spindles, behind railings, along fence pickets and underneath decks where conventional stain brushes and rollers can be difficult to use.
Where is the StainPaddle™ made?
The StainPaddle™ is handmade in North America.
