On reviewer mentioned using this item with oil paint so do you all think it would also work for water mixable paint? Thanks.

yes, I paint in acrylics and it works very well. I also found putting glass in the bottom helps.

I have used this product to remove many types of stains from grease to ink, however, I have not used it for paint. Sorry I could not be of help.

I'm guessing, because I wouldn't want to try it, but I would say no. Unless the paint were as thin as water. It has a check ball that causes the siphoning action by "bouncing" up and down. My thinking would be that the paint would cause a sticky situation there and the paint would be heavy as well. I think you would have a hard time siphoning paint even the traditional way.

Hmmmm....I am not exactly sure why someone would say that a paint brush cannot be used, unless they were perhaps talking about a specific application. You should be able to use a brush with no problems really. In fact, there are artists that use these to paint on wood, canvas, and other media that is even beyond my understanding. I have even heard of others mixing these with water color paints to create numerous paint technique variations as well as unique finishes. I really apologize for any confusion, but I am sure someone may have been referring to a more specific topic.Hope that helps out....Keda Dyes IncThank you for your interest Hmmmm....I am not exactly sure why someone would say that a paint brush cannot be used, unless they were perhaps talking about a specific application.

Yes, it works well with water based. It's an alcohol base final seal so it shouldn't smudge or alter water based makeup.I used it for costume makeup which my face paint was water based and it set it nicely.

I imagine it would work. I would make sure the tank doesn't have any condensation on it before applying the paint. The finish dries shiny, so if the color matches, I think it would be fine.

From what I understand, this cannot be mixed with water. It's method of action depends on it being dry. Once wet, it loses it's ability to work as it is intended.

I'm not sure if it would work, I mixed it with a nail polish base and it didn't hold for a week. The pigment became clear and no longer was thermal. Depending on the base you mix it with, it might work for awhile but all thermal pigment will break down eventually if you mix with a base. This lasted the shortest out of all the thermal pigments I have used. Hope this helps

I painted a house with latex house paint and it did fine. I used a half cup of water per canister because the paint was not penetrating the shake shingle siding. But the first canister was used unthined and it worked well.Ron

I think that this would work wonderfully for that. It sticks very well, dries quickly and is clear once dried. I used a paint brush for my projects and they turned out wonderfully.

I have not tried it. But, the term "enamel paint" used to only refer to an oil based material which generally has a very hard surface and is shiny. Lately. there have been latex or water based paints that refer to themselves as "enamel" too, so you may want to find out what type of enamel you are trying to cover with this product. If you can't tell, you could test it in a small spot and see how it covers. Generally, I keep water-based products away from oil-based. But, I haven't been adventurous and maybe it's time to rethink it.

I would use a roller that's good for oil paint. I would not use a brush at all, it does leave marks. The roller was perfect.

yes! definitely. I'd suggest something like acrylic that isn't water soluble, just for longevity. But painting on it works like a charm.

Yes, however it must be thinned with mineral spirits regarding oil paints. Have used it several times with oil and latex paints. Works ok but I wish I had gone with the more expensive model from rockler.

looking at the picture of the paashe h I'd say yes. I put different colors in 10 bottles and only use it maybe once a week Just shake it up or stir it before use and to help keep my air gun clean between paints I use thinner to make sure all paint is gone, you can use water but I found paint stayed behind sometimes.
