Anyone else do this? My neighbor had me do it when I painted my kitchen and it worked great. He is gone now and I have forgotten how much to use. Anyone do this and can tell me what the ratio is?
I use Windshield Washer fluid to thin latex paint (it has Isopropyl alcohol in it as anti-freeze) 1:4 to thin the latex and the FLOTROL (one capful per quart). The windshield washer fluid not only acts to thin the paint, but also delays the drying time. This allows the paint to level off on the surface. This is particularly important if you're using a gloss or semi-gloss, and less important if you're looking to spray flat colors.
