I've got 120 feet of redwood fencing that I'd like to spray on an oil based,
lightly pigmented stain. I've always used a brush to apply pigmented stains
in the past, but I really dnn't want to spend days on this large fence.

I'm unfamiliar with paint sprayers, especially when used to apply pigmented
stain. I know that nozzles can get clogged with bits of pigment.

Any suggestions?

Â* Rent an airless unit - maybe even from the store you buy your paint
at - and filter your stain as you pour it in . They make conical
strainer filters just for that purpose .

It worked for me and the only hard part was cleaning it afterwards.

No personal experience with this product - but I've heard good
reports.

All paints and stains have pigment and sprayers are used to
apply them. It's not the pigment that;s the potential problem,
it's any foreign objects, lumps, etc, which new stain from
the store should not have. I used BM solid stain on my house,
didn't strain it, no clogs, no problems. Get an airless paint
sprayer, I used a Milwaukee that I bought at HD for $200, worked
great. The nozzles on the common spray guns can be flipped
instantly, to push paint backwards to clear them. You can use
the sprayer to get the paint on quickly, then back brush it
to work it in. I would not rely on just spraying on wood like
that.

Sprayers are great, but they have to be cleaned out with Mineral Spirits,
Xylene or Acetone. If the fence gets Sun, then make it A LOT easier on
yourself and use a 3/8's Roller to put on One Time Wood Protector (
www.onetimewood.com ). One Time's not cheap and it does what it says, but
everything else is cheap and the roller's cover just goes in the trash.
Leftover One Time gets poured back into the jug for use every 7-years, if you
want to maintain a new and fresh look.

I couldn't find any Milwaukee sprayers anywhere.

I did find a Graco for $219 at HD, but user questions asked if it could be
used to spray stains. A Graco rep replied yes as long as you can clean up
with water or 100% mineral spirits. A purchaser later replied that the
instructions inside the box said not unless you buy a special tip for
stains.

I used an oil based stain, that I like, the last time I did a smaller
fence, rough cut redwood about 60 feet. I applied with a brush, and took
off extra with a cloth. Took about 8 hours. This particular stain says
that I can apply with a sprayer with a certain size orifice.

This was a few years ago, and it was very hot and sunny out. The cleanup
rags actually spontaneously combusted in the flower bed. Yikes! I knew
better, but...In the future, all rags were put in a closed container full
of water.

Â* It's HomeOwnersHub , and they steal from usenet and label it as their
own original content . GardenBanter does the same over in Merry Olde
England , and probably others too .

Makes sense, that's how you clean the sprayer.

IDK of any "special" tips. They come in various sizes that are based on orifice size and spray width. You choose the right one for the job.

fence, rough cut redwood about 60 feet. I applied with a brush, and took
off extra with a cloth.

Sounds like you were using a transparent stain.
I used a solid stain on my house when I was spraying. Solid stain has the consistency of paint, transparent stain is thin, like water. That could effect what size tip you need. They typically give you a couple with the sprayer, getting the one you need helps, buying another one, they aren't cheap.



Took about 8 hours. This particular stain says
that I can apply with a sprayer with a certain size orifice.

Bingo. Tips are sized with a 3 digit number. The first digit is half the spray width in inches. The rest are the orifice size in thousandths of an inch. So a 517 tip has a 10 inch width, .017" orifice. Why they used a number for half the width instead of the full width, who knows.




This was a few years ago, and it was very hot and sunny out. The cleanup
rags actually spontaneously combusted in the flower bed. Yikes! I knew

of water.

Wow, that's a new one. My grandfather almost had a fire in his garage years ago. He had a 5 gallon glass water jug, full, sitting where the sun hit it and was focused on some nearby rags. It got them smoldering.

Hornswoggle. They port NNTP from their servers to Usenet groups, make
click bait via a web portal, acting as if they own the free advice
given by Usenet posters, that are not credited. They even censor
posters, so you will not see this.

You are the same clown that states drywall can only be done right if
it is hung vertical. Hint: You ain't as bright as you think you are

IDK, but few weeks ago, Iggy denied that he was on usenet. I guess
he thought everybody was over there with him at HomeMoaners. What I
find fascinating and which he's never explained, is how he and others
over there reply to a person in ten year old thread. I've asked how
it is that he digs up these old posts, never did get an explanation.
