Yes, methyl hydrate, also known as methanol or wood alcohol, can be used to thin latex paints, but it's not the most recommended option. It's important to note that using solvents other than water can affect the paint's properties and finish. For best results, it's advisable to use water or a paint-specific thinner designed for latex paints. Always check the paint manufacturer's guidelines before adding any solvents.
Mixing a solvent into a latex typically ruins the product. Expected result is the latex paint turning into gel.
Yes, the thinner for latex paints is water, but you should never thin latex any more than about 5%, 10% at the very most.
You can mix water into most latex paints up to a point. Usually eight ounces to a gallon. A better alternative is to add a latex paint additive, like Flotrol, that is made out of acrylic resin, that doesn't degrade the paint.
No, you use water to thin latex paint. Thinner is for oil based paint.

Yes, acetone can be used to thin oil-based paints and clean painting tools. However, it is not recommended for thinning latex or acrylic paints as it can cause them to break down and lose their properties. It's important to use acetone in a well-ventilated area and follow safety precautions when working with it.
