Alternative to wiping stain for garapa?

13 years ago

I want to use an oil-based stain for my large garapa deck, but using Woodrich's wiping stain is a major pain. It is a great product, but this is my 3rd year to stain it, and I develop tendenitis in my wrist/thumb from all the wiping. Is there a similar product that I could just paint on (and not be paint of course)??

Being a recent paraplegic has nothing to do with class John, but thanks for the encouragement.
