So I had a pretty big job with 12 interior, unfinished slab doors that needed to be stained and sealed. I don’t do this enough as in regularly having this volume to treat that would justify a full commercial sprayer system and this job was big enough to not having the time or inclination to hand finish with a brush, sponge, etc... I was looking for a reliable sprayer that wasn’t going to create more work and be effective and reliable since it was going to take 3 - 4 days just to spray the top coat layers on that many doors and produce a good quality, finished product.
I was working out of the client’s garage that I made a temp spray booth with plastic. This sprayer worked great, was reliable and repeatable across the layers to produce a good poly top coat on the doors. The poly that is used is an important factor as well so it’s only on the sprayer. I cut the poly, water based, 10-15% in the jar prior to spraying. It took a little testing to get the pattern consistency to what I wanted and to get the speed and overlap to match the conditions. The conditions were not ideal out of the garage with it being very dry mostly and afternoon temps in the mid 90’s. I was surprised for as late in the season to still be in those temps so thinning was absolutely necessary.
I wrapped the nozzle with a plastic bag between spraying sessions and rotating stock. It was about 20 - 30 min. Before it was dry enough to rotate door stock. In those temps. I would then unscrew the nozzle and tip for a quick clean just before starting to spray the next batch. Test spray into paper or cardboard or something disposable to clear and adjust product volume and then back to the doors. I can see me keeping this one sprayer for sealants only and getting another for paint. Even if it was a throwaway at the end of the job it would have been worth it for the time savings. It finished strong so I plan on using for the next job. This can make even my smaller jobs easier, quicker and more consistent so I’ll be using it more often following this experience.
Do practice if you’re not familiar with spraying and if you are familiar, practice on cardboard anyway. There’s a difference between spraying topcoats or paint from water and it will give you good experience on what to look for on consistency and seeing the spray for overlap. This was a challenge in the garage.
One noticing was that there was a transition on the product control volume being sprayed that “jumped” from a too small a spread to a wider spread with more product right at that sweet spot for me. I wanted the spread only with a little less product ideally for my situation and ended up adjusting my speed to compensate to maintain the size of spread I was looking for. There were places that droopped some with the sealer where there was too much build up. Thinning and temp changes were at play as well. The application was easy, the sprayer was easy to use and understand how it worked, very easy to unscrew the nozzle and clean the tip while keeping product in the jar, and screw jar back to the bottom with the feed.l when refilling. The directions were included for suggested spray tips. This one had 3 different sized tips and 2 nozzle sizes.
I do recommend this homeright sprayer. I ordered a second jar with lid which is handy for cutting product and securing with the lid until ready to use. Just can make it easier if spraying lot of surface area in a pass.

Rather than attempting it with a brush, I decided to try a sprayer, and I'm so glad I did. I had never used a sprayer (but I'm not that adept with a brush, either), so this was the first time. It was super-easy to set up, and in fact, it came already set with one of the nozzles (the green one). After reading the instructions, the green one seemed like an OK one to use, so I went with it.
There was a little bit of a learning curve, especially since I'd never used a sprayer. I practiced on a couple of extra pieces of wood, and then I started with the posts under the deck (figuring those were the least visible, in case I messed up.
The main lesson I learned was to have a few rags to wipe off and smooth out extra stain. Also, I didn't have any mineral spirits to clean up with (I was using oil-based stain), so I had to run to the store to get some when I was done. So have that available, if you're using oil-based.
I'm not sure how this would do with paint, to be honest. It did leave some overlap marks, which, with stain, were easy to wipe and smooth. That was probably more my inexperience than anything else, and me not spraying as evenly as I should have.
So I definitely recommend it for stain, especially for a large area, but I'm not sure about paint. I may try it with my next paint job, though, just to see.
Since I did have a little delay in cleaning out the nozzle, I was afraid it wouldn't clean well, but it seemed to do fine. I just halfway filled the little reservoir with mineral spirits and ran it through, and it seems very clean.
