Can you use stain with this sprayer?

Bill I have used it with both stain and paint. Just make sure you keep the nozzle clean or you will get drips. Its fine for continuous use but if you take a break for more than 30 minutes you should clean it out.

I haven't used my sprayer yet, but my intention is to use stain. I suppose the manufacturer's website would be a good resource, or inquire at HD or Lowes. Your question has made me interested in finding out as well.

We use oil base stain and it works fine. There is a good size hole on the tip.

Yes I have. I put approximately 5-10 drops in with the detergent. I've had no problem with staining.

You can certainly use it but it would be more convenient to use a sprayer with a larger reservoir capacity. As I stated in my review, I used this unit with undiluted deck stain and it worked just fine for a small surface.

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 have not sprayed stain but did use satin latex on our well house/feed shed. I was amazed that I only had a small amount of over-spray on my glasses and watch. It washed right off with DAWN. The hat I was wearing didn't seem to have any paint on it. I would really recommend using latex because the cleanup is about 45 minutes at the sink using warm water. I don't think I want to cleanup oil based paint.

Yes you can use bleach as long as you rinse the sprayer very well after use.

Angie you would have to either dilute this with a lot of water or purchase the air brush color set. just make sure the sprayer is really clean between each color usage. This is what i used to do till i found the sir brush color online here at Amazon. Thanks

For home use and light hobby work, yes. I've used mine to paint trim work (baseboards, window trim etc.) with thinned enamel paint and to apply stain & poly finish on wood furniture I have made (T.V. cabinet, Medicine cabinet, ect.) If you plan to use your sprayer in a commercial setting (Multiple users, tossed in a job box at the end of a shift, etc.) you may want to try a turbine unit. For single users like myself I believe it is the best bang for your buck.

I used it once with stain and polyurethane, it works pretty well but will go through a lot of stain very quickly. The trigger is adjustable but for me using it the first time I had to adjust it almost out to the end of the least amount sprayed. I would adjust it out before you start then increase the volume from there. Clean up is pretty simple !! I would buy another one if this one goes bad!

I used it successfully with water based stain. I have not used it with paint.

Yes you can, but just make sure to test first to see if the color runs. I used it on my car seat and it took the stain out.

Yes, it can. You have to be careful about wiping the stain as it may dry unevenly even when you think you've wiped it properly. I ended up doing two coats of a dark cherry stain but got the desired finish in terms of color.

yes you can and there is never a "stain" no matter what color juice you have. best pitcher ever!

Sorry, I haven't used this product yet. I panicked when I saw a stain, purchased the product but was able to remove the stain without it. Good luck

Yes, this sprayer can handle light or heavy solids material. Deck stain would be no problem. I have had mine for about one year with no problems.

I used oil base stain and it worked great. Test with spray settings first for better control.
