Will The Sprayer Last Spraying Lacquer Thinner?

hello, even though the name says chemical guys, i would not trust lacquer thinner in this plastic sprayer. lacquer thinner needs to stay hidden inside of its own metal can. it needs to be sealed tightly and placed in a dark area with plenty of ventilation, just in case. not in a plastic bottle...

No. I don't have to thin latex paint. This sprayer is great and has no problems with any paint or stain

I used this through a very small HF mini sprayer.http://www.harborfreight.com/adjustable-detail-spray-gun-92126.html Not an airbrush, but I can't see why you couldn't. It can be thinned ( which I did, I think I thinned it by like 5-10%)I used Xylene. And yes, like most epoxy like mixtures, high humidity can cause issues with spraying. That was not an issue for me as I live in Northern CA which has very low humidity.There is a pretty detailed instruction list here http://qr.absolutecoatings.com/QR-assets/downloads/POR15/GlistenDirections.pdf Good luck

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.

no as long as you have the hanging part for the sprayer nozzle you just take the empty out replace with the full.

I haven't attempted using a liquid in mine. Since it was listed as an oil sprayer, I assumed a thinner substance might not work. Now I'm curious...

I should think so. It may help to slightly roughen the inside of the ring to assist in adhesion. Also, make sure the metal is clean, lacquer thinner will remove any oil residue. Depending on the thickness, it may take more than one application, due to shrinkage.

Latex paint will be too thick, you'll need to thin it out or it will gum up the sprayer.

No- it will not- follow instructions & spray lightly. I have been using it for years & it is an outstanding product.

You can spray fine lacquer, be sure and get the proper nozzle and check your pressure setting.

I know that the sprayer I have will not spray powder. It will probably handle a fine powder mixed in water.

It is too thick as supplied to go through a sprayer. It would have to be diluted for such a use.

I honestly don't know but I've left some in my sprayer for a few weeks. I added some more for the next application and it seemed to work fine.

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 didn't add any thinner to mine. I found it sprayed pretty well without it.

I don't know. My husband had no problems. Was your sprayer clean before using this? If you had something else in there and forgot to clean it out, it might have caused a problem. Did you make sure it was mixed? Also, did you make sure you had the right amount mixed in the sprayer. These are the only suggestions I have. It worked great for us.

Yes you will need a clean work space and a fine spray tip Rinse machine real well with lacquer thinner to remove any paint that may be in your spray line or gun thin if needed or wanted ( ware a good spray mask with filters )
