does it work well when spraying a stain
1076976
I havent sprayed a stain with this thing yet, but when i sprayed acrylic the thing splurted spashes of paint on the item being sprayed. Subsequent passing of covers the splashes but it irked me enough to buy the Raco hand held sprayer which did a fantastic job. Im planning on giving this wagner away to the first friend who enquires about it.

It works as well as any electric sprayer. It splatters to some degree, seems worse with thicker paints. I've only tried it with atain once, and had marginal results. I have owned a couple of small wagner sprayers, and if I had it to do over, I would have spent the extra money on a decent sized industrial type sprayer.

I used oil base stain and it worked great. Test with spray settings first for better control.

I am not sure if it can be used with stain or not. The best thing to do would be to contact the mfg. This is what I had done myself with my application questions before purchasing this product. Insulted.com 888-813-5065

I used it on large traffic area on my carpeted entryway. I lightly spray the area, then with a warm damp bath towel I wipe the area then flip the towel and go over again. Works good. It's also handy as a clothes stain remover like a "Tide Stick". Last week I got chocolate syrup on a white Polo shirt. Gave a quick shot on it, waited 30 seconds, then blotted with a warm damp washcloth. Not even a hint of the stain remained. Literally 3 times more effective than Spot-Shot.

You should be able to. I sprayed it on everything without it staining, but that was my experience with it.

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.

I returned the one I bought because it did not spray latex paint very well. I tried everything that was suggested, basically thinning the paint until it was practically water, and still the paint came out onto the test surfaces splotchy and spotted. I think it works better with oil based stains that are not very thick.

I have never had a problemWith it and have been using it for decades! Spray it directly on the stain and blot it with a dry cloth, I think it is the best stuff made good lucky!,,

The user manual claims that it heats the water, however it's only about lukewarm coming out of the spray nozzle. If you have good hot water from your faucet, say 130 degrees plus, this will help. It's a good little machine otherwise and should help with your pet stain.

I used the sprayer to paint kitchen cabinet doors with glossy acrylic paint. The sprayer worked very well. Keep the spray head moving quickly to prevent drips. Use multiple coats to build up spray surface.

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 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.

I suppose it depends on what you use it for. It still operates but it is only good for very thin material, such as stains. It won't spray anything too heavy like most paints, so it doesn't work very hard.

Yes, it worked great. The clear spray even added some extra glistening/shine. Spray lightly, let it drip if needed and spay again while its still wet. Spray inside too and let it drip.

I only used paint and thinned it out with just a little bit of water. If stain is thinner I would assume it would work. I wish I had purchased this a long time ago before I painted 4 rooms!

I use it as a pre-treatment on laundry all the time! I love it! It doesn't get all stains out, but it gets out yellow sweat stains and a lot of other stains. You spray and let it sit for several minutes, then scrub. Sometimes I use it combined with Shout for other stains. They get even more stains out together. Occasionally, I will add Dissolve-it for stains like chocolate and tomato sauce.

We used it on a door over stain and it worked superbly. I would check with the manufacturer about using it over paint.

It did not stain my sofa, chair or bedspread. I did spray heavily over these but I didn't saturate to the point of being wet. It does the job but remember to lightly reapply in approximate 2 weeks just to make sure you get any hatched larvae.
