Four parts product and one part laquer thinner. (20%). Will only work with laquer thinner, not reg. thinner.

You can thin it with 20% lacquer thinner, but test your spray pattern on something so that you don't have orange peel texture.

You have to be careful it doesn't run, thinning it down might cause it to run. Its better to put it on with a small roller, because the texture will flow out and it will be smooth, and you can put it on fast enough so that it doesn't get tacky, and it will be less likely to run.

i have used the little critter for years but never with latex. all of my work has been with varnish on small project and it works great. latex maybe a little heavy for this gun. here are some things you might try first. use just water and see if it sprays. if the gun is set up right it will work fine. if it doesn't try adjusting the brass vertical orifice up or down until you get a solid spray. also adjust your air pressure up and down..40-60 psi is a good range.

If the mixture is thin enough it will come out of the nozzle in a sort of dribble, not a strong spray and would probably take a long time to cover a large area like a driveway. This is a well made unit except it needs more power than the four D cells can supply. If the sprayer was designed with an 18 volt power pack it would probably do a fine job with almost any thin liquid.

I would think it would work just fine, but don't really know. When spraying you have to be very careful of runs and building un-even application. several thin applicaions might work fine.

It says you have to lay the thing you're spraying flat if I remember rightly. It goes on like water, so it might work. Sorry couldn't be more helpful

It is pretty thick so I brushed and rolled it on, I would think spraying would be difficult if not impossible. It's consistency is somewhere between paint and caulk. Good product though.

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.

I built a boom out of PVC pipe and zip tied it to the pipe......I mounted it low to the back of the ATV so it would spray close to the ground. I have a 15 gallon sprayer tank I used and it works pretty good.

Yes. For all sprayers you need to thin paint. I used this sprayer to do a fence in solid stain and that had to be thinned. It worked great once I got the right viscosity which was easy to accomplish with the provided measurement bucket and viscosity cup. Also, check the paint manufacturer's ratio for thinning which should be on the can.

I haven't; but, with enough air supply, and the larger tip, there is no reason latex paint, even if needing a small bit of thinning, can't be successfully sprayed with the gun. So far we have used timber oil, spar urethane and several enamels -- no problem. The gun is good quality and easy to clean and to care for.

I had the same issue. Make sure the piece that covers the nozzle is on snug and all connections are snug ( no air seeping out of the hose extension) . The solution that comes with the gun is terrible. You won't get a good spray with that solution! I had to order Norvell Venetian however I use Lavish Tan organic solution now.

Works well just weight it down with some sand in tube bags. All gun rests need to be stabilized when sighting in any gun. Also make sure it is on a solid table or other kind of surface.

If I was doing trim, get the right size spray nozzle for the project. With a little practice you will find it lays down a smooth coat with no sags.

Yes, I was able to spray latex paint straight from the can with no thinning. A light touch of the trigger is required, or you will wind up with too much paint on the object being painted.

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.

you can lay under a car with the can horizontal and spray it UP, it works just fine, just remember to get at least 3 cans that is the amount i use for the back wheel wells of my truck

I haven't used the sprayer for this purpose,but I don't see why you can't.Lump free and smooth mix should let you spray.I am considering spraying my block house with a stucco type mix and knocking it down for a stucco finish look.I will try it out first.Good Luck
