Yes, you can, so long as the coverage guidelines are still followed. If the coverage guidelines say you should be using between 20-25 gallons to cover your home, you should brush on that same amount, even if it means brushing on 3-4 coats. Also, when brushing, be sure to use a good quality brush (such as Purdy brand) that has the split ends to soak up as much stain as possible. And, as with all stain application, be sure to thoroughly mix the stain with a drill-driven mixer before and during application, as well as box the same stain of different lot numbers. This will ensure an even, consistent color at all times.
