Is thinning of the product required for spray application?

We paid $600 for a claw foot tub and oversized pedestal sink. That's more than the product by far, but we didn't have a choice. We couldn't spray it on and the roller they sent ruined the finish with lint.

Yes, but just so you know, we didn't spray it on so I'm not sure how well it works when sprayed. Whatever you do, do not use the rollers they send with it. In addition, it took a long time to cure, so make sure it can sit undisturbed for a while. And there is no information for assistance in any way for the product. No one to call if you have any questions. We ended up hiring a professional.

Yes, but I don't recommend doing a spray application. The product is very thick (and sticky, spraying will get EVERYWHERE) and needs to be that way or you will get streaking. Big time. If you just switch out the brush that comes in the pack to one that will hold up, it works great as a roll-on.

No thinning is required. Mix well and roll on fast. The product is so sticking that if you go back over an area that is still wet, it will pull off pieces of the foam roller. If that happens all you can do is let it dry then sand those spots. Nothing it the directions alerted this possible problem to me. So my tube looks great, but I have a few rough to the touch areas

In theory you could but the results would not be very good. This is a low pressure sprayer and to do things like cars you need high pressure. I do not think this will give a fine enough mist to allow you to avoid orange peel effect. That would be true even if you thinned the paint. I would suggest a small compressor rated for paint spraying.

No but this product does not need it... If you want you can use a universal primer for situations or work that you need to use it! :)

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.

Depends on how heavy. By removing the gun filter and thinning, I was able to spray a heavy product, Home Depot's deck Rrestore. Had to buy the large nozzle. Took a little fiddling but worked

That's a complicated question, and I,m going to give a seasoned answerer. It can, but to avoid excessive thinning I have enlarged the nozzle/tip size to approximately 5/64s of an inch using a drill bit. I thin 10% and go from there. Depending it can take as much as 30% thinning for a smooth flow, but over thinning can affect/effect gloss or lack of and coverage. In reality if you are spraying a large area...an airless is advised. I use this gun for small projects, and with proper thinning it works well.Good luck.

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, it is intended to spray without thinning the material. Also yes, you are provided with tubes that can be placed in the paint can and used to spray without the attached paint cup. I had problems with spitting and globbing paint when I tried the suction tube method, but not with the attached cup method

Depending on the application test thinning it out and you shouldn't have any problems. I've used it on AR uppers and a few models with great results and a smooth finish.

If you are going to use a very thin product like a stain, it should work fine. However, this sprayer does not handle thicker products well at all. You would have to dilute paint quite a bit to make it function. This sprayer is better suited to a smaller project than a deck. I would invest more money in a better quality sprayer to use it on something of that size. I ultimately returned mine because it did not work well at all, plus the contatiner was cracked so it leaked everywhere.

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.

No as far as I know. You could call the company or write them and see if they have a product that could help you but the ones I use are only for thinning hair.

Yes it will spray primer. I did not have to thin it at all. I did not use Kilz, I used Zinser 123 with the fine mist application jar. I used 2 coats, but that is just me, I wanted every thing to be covered. Then I used latex paint. I did not need to thin it out but I added Flotrol so the paint would take longer to dry, which makes for a very even application. I used it on a vanity, draws, and doors. I am planning on painting my kitchen cabinets next. It is an extremely good sprayer and I tried several.

we did not need to thin ours and it worked great. I would check the manual that came with the machine just to make sure.

you must thin it to get it to spray correctly. Use the recommended thinner and be sure to strain it into the sprayer.

This is a self leveling product. It thins during the curing process and becomes runny so a border would be needed to contain it. I haven't used it at a thickness greater than 1/8th inch so don't know how it would respond thicker than that.
