Can you use this sprayer with oil based products and stains?

Sorry but I have not used this with oil based products yet but I would not be afraid to. Works great with water based.

Unfortunately, I am unable to comment as I only work with latex paint. It works well with acrylic paint (I use Cabinet Coat slightly thinned) producing great results as it does with latex paints.

No. This product stained my clothing when used. Don't buy this product for use on anything!

Have not tried it for that. My guess is that it probably won't. We use it mostly for oil and grease stains and other similar things. Maybe "Goof off" or lighter fluid will work.

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.

Yes. Cleaning oil-based primer took forever to clean because you must use mineral spirits and be sure to get every bit of it off the interior parts. Cleaning latex-based primer and paint out of the sprayer with soapy water was much easier but still time-consuming, especially since I tried to get every bit of primer/paint off the outside of the sprayer and pump in case I want to sell it if we ever finish the kitchen-painting project. I am an almost elderly homemaker, amateur painter, and I was able to use it successfully.

Is should work fine. It does hold a lot of oil. Again my only complaint is the the sprayer sprays in a horizontal line rather that a circular.

yes, but I wouldn't recomend. I would use a control spray, which is to be used only with oil base paints.

Yes. But you MUST follow the directions for cleaning afterwards. LOTS of water thru the unit, use the solution that comes with it and remove and clean every part that is removable and clean those as well. This sprayer is a great time saver and will last and last if cared for properly. Any paint left will dry up, become impossible to clean and you will have ruined it. We have even used deck stain. Can't say it enough - clean clean clean. And as another person said - proper tip. Also very powerful sprayer so use caution as it can literally slice through skin.

It can be used on everything as it is very gentle. I have diluted it in a spray bottle but for tough stains, I have added one meauring cup that comes with the oxyclean to warm water, soaked it overnight and launder as usual and the stain disappears. The best.

I tried it on bluestone--first I called DuPont and they confirmed it was safe for bluestone. It did not remove the stain and left a white ring where the stain remover was applied that I can't get off so intact the oil stain is now more noticeable than before

Probably depends on how mild or corrosive your mix is. I would defnitely make sure you are comfortable pulling out the pump and hitting it with some petrolium jelly if you are mixing it pretty stout. I doubt that the tank will have any issues. My concern with any sprayer and something like you are talking about is the washers and seals. I do know that there are specific sprayers for heavy duty chemicals such as Chapin 19049 3.5-Gallon Xtreme Industrial Concrete Open Head SprayerMight want to check those out.

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.

I haven't used it for that. But you could possibly go online and look at the manual to see if it is recommended. I think you can spray pretty much anything with this machine as long as you get to the proper viscosity.

It didn't cause any stains on my clothes but because of it's oily base it may cause oil stains if it came in direct contact with clothing.

Absolutely. It is not very fragrant so can be used to mix with other oils. But by itself it works well. Moisturizes, slick, but not greasy. Also, no issues that I have seen with staining sheets or other materials.

It would damage the bottle and the sprayer. Sadly it really only works with the bottle. The spray nozzle does have a setting for water only and off so you can use it as a regular nozzle.

The sprayer worked very well with latex solid stain. However I spent a lot of time cleaning sprayer after each use.
