What happens here

Occasionally, latex extender can be added to latex paint when spraying, especially if the paint is extremely thick and prone to stippling. This is typically done with HVLP (High Volume Low Pressure) sprayers, which often require some thinning to pass the paint through the gun. It's important to note that latex extender should be used for thinning in HVLP sprayers, not water. However, it is generally not recommended to use latex extender or thin paints when running them through an airless sprayer.

Goal: Adjust paint consistency for spraying with HVLP equipment.

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.
