More than 50% of homeowners are now taking on DIY projects, according to data from the Farnsworth Group’s Quarterly Homeowner Activity Tracker. To keep up with the influx of DIYers taking on projects like wood staining, check out these five products DIYers are looking for to help complete their projects.

The Stain Pad from MaKRS is a microfiber cloth around a sponge applicator pad. It is a disposable alternative to bristle brushes, provides better durability than a foam brush and more control than a shop towel or rag.

The Wood Stain Pad Applicator from Cabot Product Groups features an adjustable handle and specialized pad design that works stain into wood fibers while providing even coverage and reducing application time compared to traditional brushing methods.

The Verathane Touch-Up Markers from Rustoleum are felt-tipped markers that help hide minor scratches and nicks in stained wood. The marker provides a one-step method to apply stain and finish.

The Eclipse P100 Respirator from GVS Group is an ultra-lightweight, half-mask respirator that provides professional-grade protection against dust, fumes and particles while being easy to wear for extended periods.

The Sand Demon from Diablo is a double-sided, reusable hand sanding sheet that’s ultra-flexible for curved surfaces and ultra-durable for heavy-duty sanding projects, lasting longer than traditional sandpaper.
