I'm going to painting 3 houses starting this weekend and decided to invest in a paint sprayer to make life easier.
My question however, is that I want to be able to spray stain with it when doing decks or fences. I'm a solo guy and have no problem appying stain with a brush but if I spray it on, does it have to be brushed into the grain afterwards or can it just be sprayed and left alone? I've seen a couple vides on youtube with guys spraying it but they always have a helper dragging a cloth pad or something behind the sprayer to "massage" it into the wood.
How could I do this easily by myself?
Also, if i am spraying stain on a fence instead of brushing it on, do I still need to go over the wet stain with a cloth or spunge afterwards? What would work pretty good for that if so? Or should I just go over it with a big stain brush to get rid of excess stain where it collects?

Thanks for the tips, Eric.
