Customer Review: The right tool, assuming you have the right job for it
Summary: 5 Stars
My wife and I decided to stain our 1-year old pressure treated fence over a recent weekend with perfect weather. We had been told we could use a garden type pump-up sprayer to apply the stain, and then follow up with a brush to even it out. Imagine my dismay when I filled my brand-new garden sprayer with semi-transparent stain, pumped it up, and sprayed onto the fence... big splotches of stain! No amount of adjusting could get the stain to come out in a fine mist like I had been told to expect. And since I had tested the sprayer with water first, I knew that it was not the sprayer that was faulty. The stain was just too viscous to be atomized.
So my wife headed out to our nearest Home Depot to buy a power stain/paint sprayer. She opted for the Wagner Control Spray. After having used it for the better part of 2 days, here is my review.
PROS
Very fine spray can be achieved, almost like an adustable can of spray paint. Because of this, you can really get the stain into nooks and crannies or behind posts, etc.
Overspray was minimal, but there was some. My neighbor has a brand new concrete driveway that is literally 12 inches from my fence, and even though I was spraying the inside of the fence the stain never went through the gaps between the boards and landed on his driveway (which would have been disastrous). There are no droplets emitted by this device, just a cloud of whatever product you're using.
Assembly was quite easy, as there are only about 4 parts involved (but read the manual before you begin!)
Using the sprayer is fairly easy, but does require some experimenting to get the hang of the proper technique. Start out on a piece of scrap wood or an inconspicuous place.
Refilling was a snap and only had to be done every 30-45 minutes because of the very fine spray emitted. You can really get a lot of mileage with the product you're applying, but in the case of fence stain that's not always a good thing (because you want a nice heavy coating of stain in order to penetrate the wood).
Clean-up was incredibly easy -- I literally just rinsed everything under hot running tap water, and then went over it all with a soapy sponge and gave it a final rinse. It took all of maybe 5 minutes. It should be noted that I was using a water-washable stain (even though it was oil-based). Using this device with oil-based paint or a stain requiring solvent to clean it up would require more effort and time.
The parts of the fence I actually finished look great -- no signs of brush marks, drips, or overlaps.
CONS
Does not put out very much product. Even cranked up to "high" I could only get a 2"-3" wide coverage area using the "fan" spray pattern setting. Plus you have to hold it fairly close to your target (4-6 inches) and move it fairly slowly to get decent coverage. Good luck staining 2,000 square feet of fence like that! I spent probably 10 hours over 2 days using this device, and I only finished about 1/3 of the fence (maybe 700 square feet). That's 70 square feet an hour, or about 1-1/2 fence panels measuring 8'x6'.
A bit noisy, like a combination drill/hairdryer sound. The neighbors probably hated me all weekend.
The device may only weigh 3.3 lbs., but that's empty. It probably weighs closer to 5 lbs. with a full container. It sure begins to feel heavier as time goes by. My arm was quite sore the next morning, and I had to adjust my technique accordingly on the 2nd day. I recommend switching hands frequently, or supporting it's weight by using 2 hands: one hand holding the device as designed, and the other underneath the container to take the weight off.
The air filter quickly became discolored the same color as the stain I was using, which illustrates how fine the stain was being sprayed. It's literally like a mist, similar to an airbrush.
Because it emits a very fine mist, wind can play havoc with your use of this device.
Does not work with thick-bodied materials (like paint).
SUMMARY
This is a fine device, but woefully underpowered to tackle a large job like a fence, deck, or house. I probably will not finish the rest of our fence using this device, although I would definitely use it for smaller jobs, such as staining/painting a piece of furniture, or difficult items like wicker or lattice-work. In fact, I have a wine rack that needs staining, and I'll be using the Wagner Control Spray for that job.
Be aware that this device does not offer airbrush-like precision, although it does give much more control than a can of spray paint.
I've tried 2 different garden-type pump sprayers, this Wagner sprayer, and another Wagner sprayer to stain our fence. If I had to do it all over again, there are only 2 options I would consider:
#1 - Rent an air compressor and a professional-quality paint gun with a stain tip. Then you'd get the work done in a matter of hours, not days. But you'd also have to deal with the noise, issues of overspray and/or bounceback, and the logistics of dealing with an air compressor and all it entails.
#2 - Roll the stain on, and have someone follow along behind with a brush to spread it evenly and work it into the wood grain.
If you use this device, be sure you wear a face mask to protect yourself from inhalation of the mist and vapors. Good luck!
