Diluting Interior Primer
 

Just finished one room with Behr Acrylic Primer. The primer was good
but little bit too oily and showed a few drip marks where I applied
the primer too thick. I'm about the paint the next room so I'm
thinking that I should dilute the primer a bit for easy application.

I'm gonna follow it up with two coats of good Benjamin Moore paint so
a little light on the primer should matter much. Am I right? Thanks.

is this primer in question latex or oil based?

Latex Acrylic.

I think primer is formulated to be applied as it comes from the can.
My painters sand between coats and this should take care of any runs.

I've got a paint sprayer that says it's okay to dilute latex with water...
it said add half a cup to each gallon if I recall correctly.

I tried it and it didn't cause any problems when I primed.
