CAN I USE THE 0525029 WITHOUT THINNING THE LATEX PAINT???

Hi Robert. As with most products, all latex are not created equal. Most quality paints should work fine but thicker paints may need to be thinned.

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 did thin it somewhat. It has been awhile so I can't remember purpotions exactly. It was easy to use and covered the cement walls of my basement well.

If the paint is fresh (just purchased) no need to thin or strain it. Spray right from the can.

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.

Hello, I don't see any reason why you couldn't. I have read that sometimes the paint can be a little thick which can cause problems but I had no problems whatsoever. This device worked as advertised and saved a lot of time.

I recently successfully sprayed latex exterior paint with both the 311 on smaller surfaces and the 515 on a larger surface. I had less success spraying an interior/exterior latex polyurethane with the 311 tip. It sprayed in a very mottled (spotty) pattern . What tip would anyone recommend or it my technique ?

With thinner products you simply turn the pressure to a lower setting and use a smaller size tip. You always match the tip size to the material you are spraying. For instance a thin oil-based transparent stain may spray well with a 408 or 508 tip. A latex would be more likely a 515 or 517. The last two numbers of a tip size represent the size of the orifice the paint will project through - measured in thousandths of an inch. So a 508 has a hole .008" in diameter compared to a 517 with a .017" hole - more than twice the size.

probably. I used it with SW latex and found that a little water helped a lot

Yes. The vinylux white for painting worked for me. It's thinner than other companies so an extra coat of white was called for.

The Schluter manual says the opposite: latex over the substrate and regular thinset for the tiles. That's how I did it this summer and nothing has come up yet. I would seriously consider removing the fabric backing of the Ditra and using latex water-based mastic over the substrate next time, at least over an old wood floor.

Don't know... I am not latex sensitive... but wrapping the tissue should help to avoid some contact.

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.

I used it with waterbased stain, and the nozzle kept clogging up. I had to stop every minute or so to remove the gunk from the spray head. Based on my experience, I wouldn't trust it to be particularly effective with latex. But it is easy to clean.

No problem spraying latex paint. But I do suggest a larger diameter tip than the one that comes standard with the unit. You'll get a much smoother finish.

I can't personally attest that it can, but because it has a variety of spray tips, I think that you might be able to. From what I read on the Paintinfo web page says that you don't want to spray, because you can't put on a thick enough coat, even if you do two coats. It seems that the optimum layer of elastomeric is in the range of 27 to 32 mils, and a sprayer is only going to give you in the range of 2-3 mils per coat. The info states that even with brush or roller application, you will probably need more than two coats to get your desired thickness. I hope this helps.

I spray high build primer with this and a little thinner. Not too familiar with the latex. But this gun is for thicker paints

Oh yes! Go crazy! Use a good latex enamel. It comes in small cans and many bright colors.

I do a lot of work with latex paint and I don't think you will find any in a spray can. The medium by nature is way too thick.

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.
