How To Painting Without Brush Strokes. Tips Using Latex M1Extenders.

What happens here

Latex extenders also function as flow leveling additives. When brushing paint, especially on important projects like window sills, the additive helps the paint to level out, reducing visible 'roping' or brush strokes. When rolling paint, it minimizes 'stippling' (texture left by the roller), leading to a smoother finish.

Goal: Achieve smoother, more professional paint finishes by eliminating brush strokes and stippling.

What they say

Hide

one of the benefits is it's a good flow leveling additive. And what that actually does is when you're actually brushing paint on say an important project like a window sill where you don't want to see what we call roping, which is brush strokes, you add a latex extender or a flow additive and it'll help those brush strokes actually level out and flow a lot better and not show up. So some of the times you can actually use a latex extender. You can use it when you're actually rolling paints too cuz it'll help when you're rolling it. It'll help uh eliminate some of the stippling. So it'll help it actually flow out and level a lot
