Using the the clone stamp tool as a brush

Hi Jeff, thanks for replying to this post I've been getting really frustrated trying to work it out and feels as if there should just be a simple box to check. It's not any perticular area as such more just using a fixed point- so the crosshairs don't move while I'm applying the clone. This can then in effect clone a composiosion of colours to use and spread as if paint. I can get close the effect by stamping the pixels over each other with a slight move each static click within the same layer but it's very time consuming. 
let me know if that helps make any sense and if not I'll post a sample.
