I understand Fluid Film in the gallon size is thick. Can it be thinned ao as to be sprayed thru a regular household bottle sprayer???

Do not thin it as it is just right for clinging on metal. Buy the inexpensive sprayer they offer as it does a good job. Also the spray cans with the thin plastic probe nozzle is great for difficult areas or where you want to control the amount and not overspray onto something else.

I don't know what would be an acceptable thinner. However, they advertise a spray-on form of the product, so you may want to go to their website.

I believe that thinning would degrade the product though this might be overcome by multiple applications. The product is sold in aerosol form. If you are doing a small job I would recommend that way to go. It's a good product.

This product is thinned with vegetable oil. It is stated on the FAQ section of their website. I tend to think this product would lose its environmentally friendliness if thinned with any petroleum based oils...

Yes. It is thin as water. I put it in a 1 quart trigger spray bottle to spot spray so I wouldn't have to mix up so much solution.

Hello Irtafa, The type of foam you should use and recommended thickness will depend upon what you're spraying to. What type of area do you need to spray? It may be easiest for me to help over the phone. If you get a chance, please give us a call at 800-516-0949 so we can help you get your project underway. Thanks! Linda Foam It Green

I doubt you'd like the results! The sprayer puts out a rather uneven (for painting) spray and has a limited range of spray patterns which are are simply controlled by the nozzle. I'd recommend an inexpensive paint sprayer. It's also designed to work with a very thin liquid.

According to page 4 of the operator's manual, the answer would be that clear sealers, oil stains, and polyurethane may be sprayed without any thinning. Of course, as they say, 'your mileage may vary' depending on specifically which formula you're using as some may be thicker than others and you'll always want to follow the coating manufacturer's instructions to the letter as well as having all of your cleanup supplies ready to go so you can clean the gun immediately upon completing your spraying.

Gina, I believe that the tube is very long is so that it can curve around a little at the bottom allowing you to spray out nearly ALL of whatever you put into bottle. If you want, you could carefully trim it--a little at a time--with a very thin/sharp blade.

Sure a reg spray bottle will work for a time . It may eventually gum up or the Citrus will effect some of the parts in the sprayer

I couldn't get it to spray anything much thicker then water paint has to be really thinned down

Probably not - it will clog the sprayer. My daughter made an all natural pesticide that she couldn't spray - it was too thick.

Just add a little water or Flowtrol to thin the paint out a bit. I've been spraying latex out of this sprayer for 10 years. Hope this helps!

I purchased the product in Home Depot and they offered a smaller bottle with a sprayer attached and they sold these gallons separately. Hope this helps.

I mix it according to the directions and put it in a pump up sprayer. If you are in the sun you need to work fast or it will dry before you get it rinsed. I was using it on semi trailers and used it too quickly so will probably try to thin it a little farther next time so a bottle will go farther

I'm not sure; the problem seems to be viscosity, all of the oils I tried were to thick to spray well.

I understand how it works. I need to know how thick the bottle is- there is only an inch and a half space so the bottle needs to be pretty thin. Thanks

Mr. Harry:I had to do some math to figure out that also. I see I wrote down 1/3 oz. for my 2 gal tank sprayer. Six teaspoons make an ounce, so I use 2 teaspoons for my 2 gallons. Therefore you only need 1 teaspoon for 1 gallon. So far I only used the product for one application because fall came and grass was going dormant. I did after several weeks start to get that frost look, but what I read is that it really needs 2-3 applications. Another trick I use is to add some Bonide Spreader Sticker to the mix. It provides adhesion of the tenacity so it sticks better to the vegetation and lets it perform better. I bought that on Amazon also.

I have only used it with the fluid film gun as I would not want to use this material in my paint and thinner guns. The fluid film gun did a very good job for underbody on my vehicle and the spray cans with the plastic spray tubes worked well getting into tight places. For this to work as formulated I would not want to change it's effectiveness by cutting it. You will see when you spray it it's fairly thin and will drip off as it builds up.
