However check the paint manufacturers instructions regarding thinning first. If the paint requires thinning, dilute with water (usually around 10%) and stir well. Paints will need to be stirred thoroughly before use in the PR9. However check the paint manufacturer’s instructions on stirring first. The paint needs to be stirred thoroughly to mix the thicker paint which can settle to the bottom of the can (during transport and storage) and ensure an even consistency for the entire contents of the can. A couple of turns with a screwdriver is not enough to fully mix the paint, a paint stirrer long enough to reach the bottom of the paint can, must be used. The paint should be stirred thoroughly before any is used for cutting in corners or edges of the area to be painted. If the paint cannot be poured from the can immediately when the can is tipped then the paint will require thinning. SOLID “GEL” TYPE PAINTS CANNOT BE USED IN THE PR9. If you have tried to operate the unit with paint that is too thick, in addition to thinning the paint, you will need to remove the filter and clean this thoroughly before the pump will operate correctly.
