can I use deck stain in this sprayer

Yes but you will need to buy a different tip for stain. They run anywhere from 7.99 to 15.99

Yes, I have a cedar siding home and use my Titan XT250 to spray both my home and also to stain my decks.

If the stain is water based, yes... If the deck is big, it's an OK idea, but small decks, just use a pump sprayer...

I have not tried using deck stain with this product. But as my experience there should be no problem doing so. Just make sure you have a cleaning agent after you complete staining your deck. Deck stains are not water based.
2068322
Yes, I used a semi-transparent deck/fence stain without having to thin it and the sprayer work great.

You can use stain, but it has to be cleaned as any solvent based sprayer. These are normally used for laytexez, but enamels are not a problem. Check the Titan web site. It's full of information too.

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 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.

Yes, indeed. You should use it with a humid brush on the stain zone. And then let it dry.

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.

Not the right kind of sprayer. So no. You can paint a wall or a fence, etc. with it

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 doubt it will work very well with a thick paint or stain. I have used it with "normal" viscosity water-based and oil-based paints and I still had to thin the paint to achieve the recommended viscosity. If the paint is too viscous it doesn't atomize properly, resulting in "globs" of paint coming out of the sprayer.

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.

Of course it depends on the kind of stain you have and how you treat the stain, and work on it. I have pet stains. I use a solution of oxyclean and water that I make myself. I put in a spray bottle and treat the stain first. Then suck up the water with the bissell. I then pour water with a drop of dawn dishwashing liquid in it, on the spot and scrub with a scrub brush. I then use the bissell to suck up the water. It works perfect for my type of stain.

If you apply stain after putting on wet & forget it won't work at all.... Pressure wash your deck put down your stain and you won't need wet & forget .... You use wet & forget for mildew ... Once you stain you should not have the problem ... Hope this helps...

It should. I only used it on staining redwood fences.It is a paint "blower" and I felt I did not as much control of the pattern as a paint sprayer.Very easy to clean though.

Yes you can Be sure that your machine is very clean from the past usage ! Run a gallon of mineral spirits onto a 5 gallon bucket back into the machine and spray it off back to the bucket once everything is clear drain your hose disconnect drain hose and refill with the oils for the decking or waterproof material oils be sure to add another spray nozzle brand-new and only use it for decking not for painting . You must have two nozzles one for painting and the other nozzle for all your material basis and a new hose for the oil base. Of any kind of Oils.. Be sure after usage rent out your hose and machine and nozzle spray with mineral spirit. Until it is clear of the other material that you use.. You must reopen the nozzle sprayer if you had used it for painting if you cannot afford another brand you spray nozzle .. You must clean it with lacquer cleaner to remove paint from your Spay nozzle and re-clean it with mineral spirits .. You must stay on top of your machine and nozzle when using paint keep it fresh 5 gallon bucket of water when not in use while you are painting or it will dry up and cock up your machine and spray nozzle .. Never never used flammable materials in your machine it will cause a fire . So please read your manual for safety hazards

Probably. ..I haven't tried that. I just use a drug store sprayer for water. Of course it won't fit in my cabinets and isn't attractive. It lives in the llaundry room.

Yes, this is a great tool for painting and staining, but involves a lot of prep work because the paint gets everywhere. If your house already has carpet and furniture I would recommend rollers and brushes. However especially outdoor projects and things like shutters and fences this sprayer is excellent.

I would play it safe and use a water based sanding sealer over the stain before applying this. That should act a s buffer or barrier between the two. Plus it will allow for a glass like finish. Since this product is an oil based finish, I don't know if the two are directly compatible. The whole water vs oil thing that is.

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.
