PAINT STRAINING AND
THINNING
When a container of paint is exposed to the air for a period
of time, “skin” may form on top. This “skin” should be
removed. If necessary, the paint should be strained
through a strainer.
Under normal conditions, paints used with this airless
sprayer do not have to be thinned. However, it is possible
that you may use paint that is too thick to be sprayed. In this
case you will have to thin the paint.
When thinning paint to spraying consistency (viscosity),
use the right thinner — water for latex paints, mineral spirits
for oil base paints (or, see the instructions on the paint
container for proper thinner).
