Does the cover work for both oil based and latex paint?

I use it mostly for oil based paint. but it should work for water based as well

I don't know about the latex but we have had virtually no leakage issues with this wrap when we fold our prefold cloth insert properly. It took us awhile to figure out what worked for our baby, I watched a video on YouTube on how to fold the prefold different ways to minimize leaks and immediately saw improvement when coupled with this wrap. We also used the snappis for awhile while we were getting the hang of cloth diapering, this also seemed to help stop leaks.

Absolutely. This sprayer can spray latex paint which is much harder to spray than poly. No worries. - Gleem Paint

I returned the one I bought because it did not spray latex paint very well. I tried everything that was suggested, basically thinning the paint until it was practically water, and still the paint came out onto the test surfaces splotchy and spotted. I think it works better with oil based stains that are not very thick.

You can use a latex thinner to spray latex paint but follow those instructions closely.

It should be able to handle oil-based stain, properly thinned per directions with the stain. I would not attempt to use latex paint with this gun.

Yes it can spray latex paint. I sprayed sherwin Williams Super paint with awesome results on a large Bed Frame. I used Flat sheen because I wanted to put a clear coat after. Great results with the Minwax water base Polycrylic. Chalk Paint? I do not know.

Yes. It comes with a device (funnel, sort of) that you use to measure the thickness of the paint so that you can thin it to the right consistency for spraying. I haven't used it yet with latex, but have used polyurethane finishes and stains, and it does a superb job with those. The instructions on adjusting the paint mixture that come with the sprayer are very straightforward.

NO, this is a one quart sprayer designed for light bodied finishes like lacquer. I use mine to spray cellulose nitrate lacquer to refinish antique radios. It isn't designed for heavy bodied latex paints.

Hey Gadget Guru, You get three covers. To make your clean-up easier when placing a brush in the cover I found that wrapping the brush in saran wrap or any type of food wrap prior to placing in the cover otherwise you would still have to go to cleaning out the cover after you are done painting or staining. Buy yourself one of those inexpensive 'fingernail brushes' they come in really handy for cleaning up paint droplets as well as (this is my favorite) when you replace the lid on any latex paint can and secure it well I "scrub" the sides, grooves and especially the top of the paint can lid and the can will seal better and keep your paint fresher and longer. I use a disposable plastic grocery bag and place it over the paint top prior to sealing it because it keeps the spatter contained. Good Luck!!!

Yes, the bottle works great for any type of oil. The bottle does not come with a lid to seal or prevent the oil from spilling if nocked over.

No problems yet. I add Floetrol to all latex paints, which helps stop any clogging. Most big box and paint stores sell it. I haven't tried the very think outdoor trim latex yet, but conventional latex works fine.

I just used water to mix it to the consistency that I needed. Using Latex paint depends on what you're using the paint for.

The same type you would use for latex paint - just be sure to feather out the edges, etc. Good Luck

YES! This is really a thin paint or stain sprayer! It will spay latex but it seemed faster to just roll it on unfortunately. Well built gun though!

I wouldn't use this Krylon product on an oil painting. It works fine on objects like pine cones but does not deposit an even coat on flat surfaces like paintings. I've used it when nothing else is available to protect my photo prints.

I don't really like it for latex applications. I use mine primarily for polyurethane. You could spray a room in a building as long as you protect against overspray. I think there are better alternatives for that purpose than this device.
