Should I thin the paint before applying it?Updated 7 months ago

While not essential, we recommend to thin the paint before application. We suggest adding up to 10% water and mixing thoroughly.

Thinning the paint ensures a smoother application, particularly when using a roller, without compromising the required coats or coverage.

Temperature plays a significant role in the process. On warmer days, thinning may not be necessary, as the paint’s viscosity will naturally be reduced, leading to a smoother consistency.

In summary, as the temperature increases, the paint’s viscosity decreases, making it less thick and easier to apply.
