What happens here

When it comes to paint sprayers, latex extenders are generally not recommended for airless sprayers, as products for these devices are typically designed not to be thinned.

It's really rare that we actually use it when spraying, but we use it uh quite a bit when we're actually spraying with an HBLP sprayer. The HBLP sprayer typically always requires some type of thinning to get it to go through your cup gun and that sprayer. And we always use an a latex extender and not a water. So, there are times when you want to use it when you're spraying. If we're running it through an airless sprayer, we typically never thin our products or use latex extenders.
