can it handle deck stain?

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.

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!

Yes, it will to some extent. It is solvent based but remember it is a wax. If you have a scrap of wood; I think Sherwin Williams will match stain. Anyway, they used to.

I didn't stain mine, but I think it would work. There doesn't seem to be much of a "finish" on it.

No, it will not get the stains out. It just picks up dirt and leaves, it does not scrub.

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.

they call it a house and deck cleaner. contact them to be sure. the stains on my roof are fading. i use a product called jomax on my siding and it works fairly well.

Yes, this the best for taking a stain. I use it on piano finishing where I need a good consistency and where it cannot be obvious that there was a repair. For a deck I would probably use an 80 grit to sand. The finer the grit the lighter the repair will be as it will absorb less stain. 220 grit can be too fine on a piano or furniture. On a deck it is not so important but on furniture this filler sands out to a smooth repair unlike other fillers.

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

It does pretty good if you get the stain fast enough. You might have to clean it a few times.

You can use this on a previously sealed deck. The older the better (less work.) You'll just need to strip the sealant using non chlorine bleach diluted in water and 'painted' on and power washed off. The reason you use bleach is because it's an oxidizing agent. Oxidation of the stain from the porous wood membrane happens over a long period of time, naturally, with exposure to sun, rain, etc. Non chlorine bleach simply speeds it up.

I power wash my deck. It took of the all the old paints, stains. IF I hold it same spit too much it peels of the wood too. I think it does the job

Hi,I really can't say it will remove a stain, although I seem to remember a product made by this company to remove a stain. Best of luck :)

You can certainly use it but it would be more convenient to use a sprayer with a larger reservoir capacity. As I stated in my review, I used this unit with undiluted deck stain and it worked just fine for a small surface.

Not sure how to help with your issue but this product is not for cleaning a deck you want to preserve the sealant on. It is meant for prepping a deck for new stain/sealant.

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

No, it will not. It just helps to repel water, dirt and other staining items from the deck. Also helps with oxidation on the fiberglass throughout the boat.
