I used to work in a paint store and am an artist. we were always taught NOT to put paint down the drain, latex settles and plugs??

you don't want to rinse it out inside, use a pail or something, I cleaned up outside, it takes alot of water to clean properly. It needs to be disassembled and cleaned properly before putting away

Yes. It comes with a device (funnel, sort of) that you use to measure the thickness of the paint so that you can thin it to the right consistency for spraying. I haven't used it yet with latex, but have used polyurethane finishes and stains, and it does a superb job with those. The instructions on adjusting the paint mixture that come with the sprayer are very straightforward.

I'm sorry to say I just recently threw away the boxes that came with the washer balls. I am not 100% sure as to latex being in the material. The balls are a softer plyable plastic with some beads within that are charged once a month by placing in the sun. I have been very happy with my purchase and find that they do a great job cleaning. Even with a 9 and 11 year old it was taking out some tough stains. (Grass and dirt) I also own dryer balls from the Norwex company and find it is a great fit for drying after the washer balls. I would try contacting the company about the latex/natural rubber question. As for some I know latex can cause serious reactions. Sorry for not being more helpful.

I had painted ceiljng vents. This is very heavy material. I believe it was too heavy to stay. I don't believe the paint was the problem.

I think you should be fine. I just stuck some to my drywall (which is painted with latex paint) and it came right off without taking any of the paint with it.

I used the sprayer for latex on a ceiling which had high and low grooves like wainscoting. I did 2 coats. The first coat was straight out of the can. The second coat I thinned out slightly with water. Both went on fine. I first started the sprayer in an large empty box to insure that I was getting good flow and dispersion.

I just used water to mix it to the consistency that I needed. Using Latex paint depends on what you're using the paint for.

No you don't. I have had latex paint sit in it for two hours. I wrap the tip with a soaked rag water and kept it away from heat and sun.

I used the gun for the first time with latex a few days ago. You have to thin the paint a lot, but it flowed on evenly. There is also a learning curve going from poly's to latex, you have to open up the flow quite a bit. One caveat: Buy a second gun because once you load and spray latex you will not get it all out of or off of the gun. This after about a half hour of scrubbing with hot soapy water. Keep one gun for poly only.

No not if you wrap brush in plastic or tinfoil first. But even with latex paints the brushcover only lasts so long why we didn't order anymore just as easy to wrap a brush.

It can be painted with the special spray paints that are designed for plastics and other similar materials. If you are looking at using latex type paint like you use on your walls, there are better conduit/cord hiding systems that take wall paint better.

Most latex paints do not need to be thinned. If so, you should not thin more than 10%, to prevent losing the integrity of the paint. Oil base paints may require some thinning, depending on brand. Stains generally do not need to be thinned.

No, not fresh paint, but by the second or third day it has thickened and clogs up the filters and/or pump.. As long as I mixed previous day's paint with fresh paint, I had no problem. but when I changed from house to trim color back to house color after a day or two, it was too thick to function well. I was also using the tubing so I did not have to refill the small canister, I could use a full gallon and it would draw up the 3 or 4 foot tube with fresh paint. No trouble with canister, just through the tubing after a few days. I did not successfully thin the paint (I would produce runs and thin spots if I thinned it) but a cup of water/ gallon was probably too thin.

Actually you can. But my suggestion for this sprayer is to use Oil Based paints and enamels. It says you can use latex. But even after using latex paint conditioner and watering the pain down somewhat, it still clogged and sputtered. I actually painted my outdoor porch underlayment(ceiling) with a high gloss white oil based enamel and it went on very even and good without overspray.

I used a standard exterior paint, at first it would paint fine but if I stopped I had problems. I went as far as putting the gun attached to the hose into a 5 gal. bucket and it still plugged. I spent more time working on the gun that I did painting. It got so bad I finally bought a new gun to finish the job. I had tried thinning the paint.....no go. The money I expected to save with this gun was off set by the cost of second gun. I had many hours working on gun trying to get it to work......I would not buy one of these guns again. Could not understand why a short stoppage in painting would cause so much trouble, as long I continued painting it did not plug. ??????? Good luck!

For my purposes, I did not need any kind of sealant, but I was painting over latex paint and onto a canvas. I'm not sure if you'd need a sealant for other purposes.

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