Can I spray transparent or semi-transparent OIL-BASED stain onto a fence with this unit?

You can spray oil based products but I have never done it. Check out Graco's instruction videos on Youtube.

Yes you can, I used a pump sprayer to spray my fence with a tire valve in top of tank so I did not have to pump it up by hand, 40lbs

not bad, really- depending on how bad the stain is, you can dilute the solution 3 parts AIP with 1 part water in a gallon sprayer then saturate the area and allow to dry. The manufacturer also offers full support- they are of great help, too.

no, the product is quite thick for paint and would clog any sprayer. use heavy napped roller or paint brush. but goes on easily and very smooth. it opaque not like a stain and, depending on condition of deck, 1-2 coats is sufficient.

Yes. For all sprayers you need to thin paint. I used this sprayer to do a fence in solid stain and that had to be thinned. It worked great once I got the right viscosity which was easy to accomplish with the provided measurement bucket and viscosity cup. Also, check the paint manufacturer's ratio for thinning which should be on the can.

I just use it as is, and never dilute it. I spray it, use a metal brush to rub it in and around a bit, hose it off, and like magic, most if not all of the driveway oils stains are gone. Just do not metal brush it too much and take the cement top coat off, so the cement ends up grey.

Yes, it worked for an oil based stain. Although the cleanup took a little bit of effort.

It worked well for me on mildew in the paint on a groove in a exterior medal door. A shadow of the stain is still there. For your application, I'd recommend getting one bottle to try. Obviously you have a roof leak. Don't waste you money cleaning mold from roof decking that may have to be replaced when the leak location is found. I just checked it on the mildewed exterior painted wood siding. Worked real well.

Yes, but I would use the powder only. If the stain is old and needs to have the spray applied, I would test a small non- visible area first.

I used the sun joe on cedar fence and was able to remove the dark patina and mold and mildew stains and made the fence look new. Used the medium narrow tip. Takes some time but works well. The only way to improve on the performance is to go with a gas powered unit.

I would buy a cheap brand like from Parkers to use on the fence. Stain would probably harden on the seals and you would have to repair. With the cheap parker 2 gallon brand you can just throw it away.

None that I am aware of I use mine for waste oil ..you may want to ask the manufacter the only deference is the color of the can

I simply cover the area with a visible coating--it disappears in a few minutes. It doesn't stain in my experience.

I found this sprayer to be quite effective with spraying watery liquids. I would be surprised if it would work well with an oil-based stain. Such a mixture would likely be too viscous to spray effectively. It would also likely be difficult to clean not only the nozzle and spraying mechanisms but also it could prove difficult to clean the container using an oil-based mixture.

My favorite spray is Liquid Fence, but it does smell badly for several hours. Deer Out seems to be working well so far for the last two years and although I have never used it on the lawn I would think it would be effective.

I put it over water-based stain, and it worked well. I don't think it would work over oil-based products; It would probably bead up.

We haven't tried that yet but my husband said it would work good w a sprayer used for paint. He plans on buying a sprayer for our fence so we can stain it.

Perhaps you can add an oil-based product to tone as to your choice however, the benefit of using this stain is it's transparently qualities. It looks beautiful on wood because it is not a solid look. It blends so well over the wood, some solid qualities are achieved with multiple coats. I am an artist, I wouldn't hesitate adding an oil based color to tone this stain. Just be sure you really want to alter the off white look of the stain. You can live with this for years. Jan B
