can you spray stain with this ?

I haven't tried it for stain. I only use it for bug & weed control. Those products are all the consistency of water,and uniformity is not vital.

My sprayer does not have a uniform spray pattern and the pressure varies. I would not use for stains

Hello Mark, Unfortunately I had bought it for my farther to fertilize his lawn. Though from experience you can use the pro tank sprayer for stain depending on stain...paint...I have also had stains that do not work. It is a gamble.

I would not waste my time with this Paint Sprayer. I found the paint or stain has to be so thin it becomes all most useless.

I used exterior paint only. But I'm sure it would spray stain. That would be thinner then paint. When I tested it with water it sprayed Nicly with water.

I'm not sure if this would work as the spray is more of a dye than a paint. I worry that you wouldn't get the color you want.

If you are going to use a very thin product like a stain, it should work fine. However, this sprayer does not handle thicker products well at all. You would have to dilute paint quite a bit to make it function. This sprayer is better suited to a smaller project than a deck. I would invest more money in a better quality sprayer to use it on something of that size. I ultimately returned mine because it did not work well at all, plus the contatiner was cracked so it leaked everywhere.

I would not use with stain. Stain and paint are 2 different products to protect wood. Stains is absorbed by the wood fibers, paint lays on the surface. The ceramic product would interfere with the performance of the stain.

I wouldn't attempt it. It's so nice the way it is. I'd be afraid that I would ruin it with the stain. It's hard to know if its treated with any type of sealant that would make it resistant to staining it a different color.

Yes you can put a cherry stain on it. The wood will take any stain you prefer.

you bet it can. i used Wolman's Clear Cedar. I sprayed it with a 411 tip i ordered from amazon. Don't thin the stain out, but make sure you stir it well before you use it. Good luck Marshall!

The spray is a very fine mist - doesn't leave anything wet. That said, I wouldn't want to tell you it wouldn't stain, but it seems unlikely.

The short answer would be yes...however, as I have used stain for years on both my house and shed...take the time to put it on with a brush...thickly as you can. My husband and I disagreed on this, he blew a coat of stain on one side of the shed and was done in jig time...I painted with a brush. By the fall of next year, his stain was very faded and worn-looking, my side still looked like new. It's a catch-22...spraying is fast, but you have to do it every year...painting is slow, but it has lasted 5 years so far...your choice! :-)

Maybe --- the pressure is certainly high enough --- but it could be a little risky, especially for oil-based stains as these contain particulates which could clog your spray nozzle. I assume that you're looking to stain/seal a deck, or some other outdoor structure, rather than indoor items such as cabinets or furniture. If that's the case (outdoor use), then go ahead and try it, using a fan rather than a cone nozzle, but make sure that after use you immediately cleanse the system thoroughly with mineral spirits and then hot, soapy water, then clear water. I'd go so far as to soak the nozzle in mineral spirits overnight before final cleaning with soap and water. Good luck.

I haven't used this yet, but you can stain with the Ardex SD-M stain and it will adhere. Apparently, other stains will not work. For more info go to karapaslaydesigndotcom. She is a huge fan of this product, and gives step by step instructions on her blog. Hope to get to using this in my kitchen soon.

I don't know if "yes" is the correct answer. What I do know is that I have used this product for several years inside as well as outside. I spray the perimeters and the bedrooms have wall to wall carpet. So, not only do I end up spraying the carpets at the baseboards but also the baseboards (which are white) and the wall areas above the baseboards (which are a pale cream/sand color). I've never noticed any staining.

Yes the sprayer can use any paint that will pass through the testing cup as specified in the instruction notes. I have used a latex house paint and primer with no problem and a deck stain again no prob;em.

I havent sprayed a stain with this thing yet, but when i sprayed acrylic the thing splurted spashes of paint on the item being sprayed. Subsequent passing of covers the splashes but it irked me enough to buy the Raco hand held sprayer which did a fantastic job. Im planning on giving this wagner away to the first friend who enquires about it.

Of course it depends on the kind of stain you have and how you treat the stain, and work on it. I have pet stains. I use a solution of oxyclean and water that I make myself. I put in a spray bottle and treat the stain first. Then suck up the water with the bissell. I then pour water with a drop of dawn dishwashing liquid in it, on the spot and scrub with a scrub brush. I then use the bissell to suck up the water. It works perfect for my type of stain.
