Last time I bought "good" paint from Sherwin Williams, the store manager
suggested Penetrol Paint Conditioner. The stuff is amazing... I'll never
paint (w/good or bad paint) without it again.

You like your paint to flow, do you? Yeah, good stuff.


This was an important project, so I took all the advice I was given.

I don't do a lot of painting, and i don't like it, but that stuff made
me want to paint more. :-)

Nice. What kind of roller did you use. gd&r

I used Floetrol (oops, it was this, not oil-based Penetrol I was
thinking of) for repainting my louvered closet doors with a HF HVLP
spray gun. I had to thin with water, Floetrol, and warm it to about
100F to get it to spray. Glidden acrylic enamel ain't made for
sprayin'. sigh I'll use more when I brush the trim in the house
before my family shows up for Christmas. It's the Good Stuff for
waterborne paints.
