How can you make paint thinner?

Answer 1

Flood makes products that will thin the paint without degrading the paint. Use Flotrol for latex paint and Penetrol for oil-based paints. Follow the directions on the label to determine how much product to add to your paint.

Answer 2

All paints have 2 primary ingredients, those are a binder ingredient and pigments. The binder holds the pigment particles together.

In home-made water based paint a commonly used binder is glue, and for oil based paints linseed-oil and pine-oil are common examples of binders. Synthetic resins can also be used in home made paint as a binder.

To make paint you mix the pigment with the binder. If the paint is to thick you add a reducer as a third ingredient, water for water-based paint, turpentine is often used for reducing oil based paints and paint thinner, acetone and xylen are often used to reduce synthetic resin based paints.

For art paint you can use all sorts of organic materials such as blueberries, beet root, red vine along with simple binders like glue or acrylic wax etc.
