It's that time to waterproof my wooden deck and I already have a sprayer to do the floors but I was wondering if there was a better and quicker method to apply the waterproof on the vertical parts of the railing. There are so many of them and I dont look forward to using a paint brush for each one to get all 4 sides.

I use a small 4" roller that has a terry cloth looking roller cover. It is fast and easy. It also gets into the corners!

If you have a small enough tip, you can spray the pickets - use a piece of cardboard to help control the overspray. It will take more material! If not spraying, a 4" roller can really speed up the work on the railing :cool:
Whenever spraying wood siding or decking it is always best to either back brush or back roll the sprayed on coating. This helps to work the stain [or any coating] into the wood = longer lasting and better looking :D When feasable, I like to spray a coat, back roll it and then spray on another coat. On most jobs this will give the best looking and longest lasting paint/stain job.
