I want to use this for alkyd paint, which is very viscous (almost like honey). Will this handle viscous liquids?

I cant be sure on that, the paint would have to travel up the suction tube into the piston by force of vacuum, that might be slow. brandtech probably has information of viscosity limits.

I would say yes. I use it for an opaque shampoo, probably about the same viscosity or thickness.

There would be no problem at all. Love the caulk gun. I don't bother using it for small jobs because it is a bit bulky. It has ALWAYS performed like a champ with thick or thin viscosity caulks.

I would say not. It emits a very fine spray mist and is designed for a very watery liquid. I would very much hesitate to use it for that purpose.

Yes. That's exactly what we used it for. This sprayer is excellent! Mix anti-slip with the liquid you're spraying. No clogs! No problems! Clean-up is easy! Great sprayer! Highly recommended.

If you have sprayed this substance with other sprayers before, I would think it could. But, I do not have first hand experience with a "molasses based"substance. My thought is, the liquid has to be fluid enough so that it will flow rather than thick and syrupy. Otherwise, it wouldn't even get into the container.

It really depends on the viscosity of the oil. If too thick then, no, because it is going through a small opening/valve. If, however, the oil is similar to a light salad oil, then I'd say yes, assuming that residue doesn't harden and cake up.

That I'm not sure. I only used it to paint with a sprayer in my garage. I would try contacting the manufacturer so you would know for sure. Sorry I couldn't help more.

that is a great question, I haven't tried it for more solid liquid yet. I have wondered that myself. sorry I don't know.

Maybe. I know it doesn't work for honey because the honey is too thick. I would not buy it again. It's also a pain to clean.

I believe it will spray light oils without any problem. I have not sprayed anything but stoddard's solvent through mine. I am very satisfied with the quality and performance of this product.

Elshad, From the research I was able to do on your question, this is what I've gathered: The product description gives this info: Liquids unsuitable for the seripettor pro include, but are not limited to: Hydrofluoric acid, or other chemicals that attack polypropylene, PTFE, ETFE, FEP, PFA, alumina-ceramic, platinum-iridium, and borosilicate glass, carbon disulfide, density exceeding 2.2g/cm3, viscosity exceeding 150mm2/s (10mL instrument), 75mm2/s (25mL instrument) vapor pressure exceeding 500mbar. Temperature of instrument and reagents must be between 59 and 104F (15 and 40C). Agar culture media to 140F (60C). I looked up alkyd paints on Wiki, and read that there can be different viscosities depending on the manufacturing process and quality of the paint. So, my answer would be as long as the paint has a viscosity of less than 150 sq.mm./s. Since you work with the paint, you're definitely more knowledgeable than I am on that. I hope this helps.

I think that depends on the thickness, heaviness of the oil used. you might need to dilute it.

It will handle it. You better clean it good afterwards. I only used water base paints that were extrenely easy to clean.

Hey,,YES, I used it to spray latex paints (some of which were quite thick),,without thinning and with generally good results. Ultimately though, the periodic clogging which became worse and worse prompted me to just ditch the machine. UGH

I used it for automotive paint. That was the sole purpose of my purchase. It covered a small area with every spray. Do not rush to paint your car right away. Practice how to control the airbrush before painting directly on your car. Keep the airbrush absolutely clean with passion. A little lapse in diligence can cause a great deal of trouble. Follow this advice religiously. No kidding. Buy a set of cleaning brushes. This is where the work is. Painting is over in just a few seconds. Adjusting the fluid viscosity is almost impossible in words. You just have to find your rope by trial and error. Good luck.

I don't think I'm qualified to answer that question. However, I did use it to spray a louvered door with latex paint. I had to thin the paint with water and some alcohol. but it worked just fine. I haven't used it with any other fluids yet. I do like the product and would recommend it especially for the price.
