Thin Latex
If you do choose to use water to thin the latex.... ( If your using allot ) use some sort of strainer to take out chunks.... when you add
water to say 8 oz. of latex to thin it to a watery consistancy it will foam a little as you mix it... so, strain the chunks out with a cheap plastic strainer or simply reach in and pull the gunk out...
( Also ) nice tip : if youd like to brush latex on.... use a dab of dish soap.... ( It will keep it from sticking ! )
( FREE ) Tip # 2 : If it gets all over your arm hands and etc. ~ dont peel it off....use dish soap and wash it out...lmfao ALLOT LESS TIME AND PAIN....lol.... ( Unless of course your into that sort of thing )

And do yourself a favor. don't wash latex off in the sink. It can clog your pipes, and so can plaster.Kevin R. Alvey

I use Distilled now a days.... but if you opt to use the tap water plan on using the strainer.... you will have little bit of chunky crap at the top and stuck to the sides pour the latex into another container though the strainer and youll be fine...
Yeah.... latex in the pipes....lol, wow.... I remember back when I didnt think of that LMFAO 5-6 years ago I decided to wash the rest of the latex down the sink.... WOW....
( Dont do that )
