do the power roller Max apply stain to a deck?

I don't know, I would say probably yes. But it is such a big mess to use, that I returned mine. It's easier to paint your deck with a toothbrush than it is to use the power roller and clean it. I had one 20 years ago and it was great. I painted a whole house with it. The new ones are not worth buying.

Laura, I have only used the power washer on my deck to remove old paint and accumulated dirt. I am not sure that it would remove mildew, and I suppose that you could use a cleaner with bleach in it even though I have not tried that.

Depends upon the power of your machine (volume and pressure, not just pressure) as well as the deck paint you are removing. If it is strong enough, it will do a much more uniform job that you could ever do by hand, and without the hot spots manual stripping can create. Hope that helps.

No it does not. It will stain the area you apply it in, so just be sure to stand on a towel or a place that is easy to wipe down afterwards.

I use it on my wooden deck every time and I've not had a problem. It doesn't even discolor it. Get a sheet of cement backer-board (used under floor tiling) to put underneath if you're worried.

I haven't tried it, so I don't know. there is a Stain Solver web site that lists all the stuff it cleans, and how to do it. I suggest you google it and look there. good luck

yes, it stains carpet, clothes, chairs, sheets. Always put it back after you play with it.

I had a problem with black streaks when using power application. I was able to minimize the streaks by using the edge of the pad when the center became built up, and changing pads more often ($$!). No problem encountered with manual application (except sore arms and shoulders!)

Actually, I just applied Preserva Wood, a semi-transparent, oil-based stain, using the sprayer, and it worked fine (mine was "Redwood" color, it it matters). Everything worked well, although I did spend a while cleaning the sprayer afterwards to make sure I got all the stain out, so that it would get gunky inside.

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.

I would say yes that should work fine. The pressure washing will remove all the dirt and probably some of the original stain too. That will prepare the surface for the restore product. Just make sure to let your deck dry for a few days before applying restore and dry again for a few days after application. You can add water to the restore as needed and use a standard paint roller. They suggest buying the same color in the restore stain and applying that between the boards before starting.

Yes, I used a semi-transparent deck/fence stain without having to thin it and the sprayer work great.

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.

I haven't used it as a stain remover for existing stains. Sorry I can't help on that one.

Yes. On dark wipe on stains/finishes I sometimes skip the white diamond wheel to avoid getting white rouge embedded in the grain. The wax wheel can be used on any finish.

No ... no experience with that ... BUT ... I did have a water stain in the family room. I applied Instagone with a clean paint brush ... gone! Worked great.

I don't think it leaves a stain. I really have not used it on many painted surfaces. I used it outside around my covered deck, so that's aluminum siding, and around some exterior doors. I guess the door moldings are painted though. I have not noticed any discoloration or staining on any surfaces.
