I don't know.. my hudson sparyer clogged up using chemicals in the yard so I bought a DB Smith sprayer which has worked great for me.. but it says for chemicals and cleaners so I don't know about a water based stain.. I would not recommend an Hudson sprayer.

I tried using it for oil based stain for a deck, to windy and it doesn't work well for horizontal surface. Fence should be okay. Supposedly there is a dilution you can do for thicker paints and stains, not sure where you find that information.

I Would have to say No. The sprayer itself is plastic. This item is a POS. Tried many thing to get it to work to no avail. Paint just comes out in any pattern it feels like.

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!

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.

One could use stain in such a backpack sprayer but at the expense on possible only getting a couple of uses from it. Its far better to use a cheap 2gal sprayer made for such

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Yes, with practice you could spray stain on a picket fence with little waste. But once you start you should plan on doing the whole job. The cleanup after using stain is horrible.

I would assume so. We use this for oxalic acid when bleaching wood and have had no problems. Before purchasing I googled "DuPont Viton seals " and found what they are resistant to. For the price, we are very happy with this sprayer!

I haven't done this, but don't see why not. The stain probably isn't any thicker than other gardening solutions commonly used in this sprayer. Thinking that it may be easier to throw sprayer away after the job, or spend a whole lot of time doing a proper cleaning so as not affect future spraying .

I used it on my buff colored siding with dried on deck stain, and it worked when everything else did not.
