Colortime paint turning into cheeze
I have some Colortime paint which I bought at Walmart.
I have about 2 of 5 gallons left after 3 weeks. I noticed that the paint is turning it a cheezy consistency. Is there something I can do to make the paint's consistency better? Orginally, I added some paint thinner, but that did not seem to make a big difference. I added a bit of acetone, which seems to help. Maybe the more volitile liquids were evaporating off in the 100 degree days here. |

Acetone is a paint remover, not an additive for latex paint. What kind of paint is it? If it's latex, you should just dump it, get more, and DON'T add anything to it. |

Adding paint thinner solvent to latex will make it curdle and cheezy. Don't ask how I know. |

Where the f*ck did you ever get the idea that you could think latex paint with acetone? There are instructions on the paint containers for a reason. |

About the only thing you can do is add water and stir it. |

No, there was nothing wrong with it. The OP added paint thinner (for oil base paint only) and then acetone (paint remover) to latex paint. It was user error that caused the problem. Why should WalMart have to make good on it? |

Why should WalMart have to make good on it? The actual writing makes it seem like he added the paint thinner AFTER discovering that the paint was "cheezy". But it really doesn't matter. Since we already know the guy is "challenged" (to be polite about it), the original "cheezy" was most likely his fault for some other reason. He probably left unfinished cans opened between uses because the dog voices in his head told him paint loves fresh air as much as people do. |

Over many years and tons of paint my experiance is quality latex will only thicken when exposed to heat, water restores it. What the OP did ruins it. |

The only thing you should be adding acetone to would be lacquer, not any paints I know of that aren't lacquer-based. Just use ordinary paint thinner for all oil-based paints, and water for latex (as you now know). -- The fashion in killing has an insouciant, flirty style this spring, with the flaunting of well-defined muscle, wrapped in flags. - Comment from an article on Antiwar.com (http://antiwar.com) |

This is the twit that has a WEBTV.
Thanks for all the flames, guys. I will admit I had them coming. Can you imagine using a WTV? OMG. But wait, it's free, never freezes up, has firewall protection, never can get a virus, has most of the benefits of an older `puter, and on and on... I'm only 78, but I bet I've forgotten more **** than you guys will ever know.... Yes it is sad that I'm on WTV. And I can see that I can get slammed pretty good in the ng's, still.... FYI, I meant no harm to the O.P. Maybe a bad choice of words on my part... :-( But, give me a break... I've only been on the net for 15 years. And you? Loose, Lost, Lose... heh heh. BTW... what is cheeze? Paddy... rock on doods. ;-) |
