I have bought 2 tins of fence paint and have now purchased a fence paint spray gun. The gun says it is suitable for painting fences with water or oil based paint, but I cannot see this anywhere on the tub. I know that some paint says 'sprayable' on the tub, but this one doesnt, but is quite watery? Are there any tests that I can do to determine if it is oil or water based?
Oil-based paint can be identified in the following ways.
Read the label: The product is solvent or oil-based if the instructions are to clean with mineral spirits or turpentine. If cleanup instructions say you can clean your brush with soap and water, it is typically latex or water-based paint. If you can’t read the label, assume it is oil-based for disposal purposes.
Water test: If the paint is water-based, it will dissolve in water easily. Place a small amount of paint in a small clear container with some water. Latex paint will mix with the water while oil-based paint will separate and form layers similar to the layers formed when oil and vinegar are mixed.
