Thread 2948422

They always talk about paint thinner, but what about paint THICCener?

If you thinned your paint too much, you royally fucked up.

>>2948422 (OP)
isocyanate hardener go brrrr

>>2948427
Never heard of getting high off of brake cleaner before.

It's called medium. You might not be able to reasonably buy it for your given choice of paint, but if you can then you add raw medium to the paint and it'll become thicker but more translucent. Can't help the translucent part, adding anything to paint makes it more translucent because you dilute the pigment with the additive, but the paint itself would become thicker.

Add more paint to increase its density

>>2948448
No matter how much more paint you add, it will never be the same as before. There will always be at least one molecule of thinner in there.

>>2948473
Yes, but you don't want it to be the same because you were adding thinner for a reason.

Water based paints have rheological additives you can add, but the average person isn't going to have them. Something like Acrysol TT-935 will get most paint THICC with just a small amount. But that's only for water based paints. Many thickeners in paints are pH activated, so you can sometimes increase the thickness if you add some ammonia, although I've never tried doing it with household ammonia concentrations...
Solvent based paint you're kind of screwed if you go too thin. We used to just agitate the tanks to try and burn off the solvent, and that works a little bit but it takes forever.

>>2948496
Fair enough :3

Drywall powder

>>2948521
Isn't that just solid plaster with filler? Seems like a shitty solution.

>>2948443
the people who do aren't here to tell you about it

Oh someone with industry knowledge does solvent based paint not suffer from shear damage? Most of the time our water based paint needed some additive when it became to thin from stirring over the weekend.

What did commas ever do to you?

>>2948967
go back

>>2948975
Go back to what, you're mom's house so I can finish shagging her?

>>2948958
The solvent based paints I worked with were PVDF or polyester formulations. From what I remember they were relatively stable although when I say we'd mix them to increase viscosity it would be for several hours not multiple days. I wasn't really in formulation when I was working on them but I never remember having any sort of rheology modifier in the formulas. There just wasn't anything you can put in them to increase viscosity besides the main resin. Viscosity on them was low anyway, usually around 13 seconds on a Zahn #3 cup or <80 Krebs units.

Wait for evaporation

>>2949440
You mean wait for the paint to dry? Which one do you think will happen first?

you guys arent gonna like this but you put it in the fridge/freezer

sometimes you paint to hide crimes with body filler, not do a good job. i heat up and cool down paint depending on what i need to do

>>2949489

im not him, but i cannot understand your comment. Like I understand the question you ask but...

how do you not get he simply meant out of the can, tray, or... whatever your paint is in?

weird

>>2949690
Because I've seen paint dry into a solid block in a can before, and I've seen paint dry on the tray?... What, did you think I meant wait for it to dry on the wall? What kind of idiot would say that?

>>2949690
>>2949754
Seriously anon, your response is so retarded I just ended up blurting out why I wrote what I did, instead of answering your question. But what the hell did you think I meant?

So, your brain told you that letting the paint evaporate/dry in a can or tray or any other receptacle was the correct way to do this... Okay. But why is it that you then thought that I didn't understand this? What you said is exactly what I meant from the beginning! You're taking my own logic and spitting it back out at me like it was your own idea.

I think this is actually the dumbest shit I've ever seen, and I am genuinely disappointed that blights on society like you have to exist. Just do us all a favor, and fucking kill yourself.

>>2949765

you are the one posting incoherently about paint drying anon

im not trying to read into your schizo shit
you get it or you dont

i dont think you do though, because you're weird about it

>>2948422 (OP)
Add more pigment.

>>2949806
>you are the one posting incoherently about paint drying anon
It's not my fault you can't read. Of course, the one who is incoherent (You) is accusing the other person of being incoherent, go figure...

I literally told you that I get it, I honestly can't understand what made you think that I don't get it. Can you tell me what made you think that I didn't get it? (I don't think you're going to tell me.)

>>2949806
>>2949847
You know what, forget it. You're never going to tell me.

Do you think paint only drys on the wall, is this why you thought I didn't understand where to let it evaporate? Do you think paint never drys when it's in a can? Do you think paint never drys in a tray? Do you?

Can you tell me what else does paint does when it's in a can or tray? Can you tell me what it's called when it gets real hard when it's left out in uncovered receptacles for too long? Can you, or are you incapable?

>6 minutes between posts
>you know what forget it

you need to step outside
your responses are so... full of energy surrounding paint drying its incredible

Anon said wait for evaporation (to thicken paint)

you are bent out of shape insisting the only thing its gonna do is get hard and dry
i dont really think you paint much or do anything except try and be retarded on 4chan
cuz you are pretty effective at that
but seem to not really live in the rest of the world with us. too much thinner? it has lighter ends than the rest of it, will evaporate quicker.
the other anon makes sense, you are just weird

>>2949852
>your responses are so... full of energy surrounding paint drying its incredible
Because I hate that you exist! This has nothing to do with paint.

>i dont really think you paint much or do anything
No, I haven't worked with paint in years. The only shit I do these days is be a burnt out domestic abuse victim, and wait on people that I have to rely on fuck shit up in the simplest fucking ways. I've been trying to join the military to get away from all this shit, and they told me I can't even do that because of my history unless I get a note from a doctor. So now I have to jump through more fucking hoops and wait even more months living in this decayed hellhole, because it takes so fucking long to see a doctor, because this is the only way anyone is going to listen to me, if I waste my time with this shit that isn't even going to help me just so I can have it on record.

In addition, I've been working with idiots who either don't want to claim they fucked up looking at an x-ray and don't want to tell me what I am showing them, or they are just this fucking blind and like to tell people the opposite of what they are asking about. If I say "dark line" do you think I mean "white line"? I can't wait to sue them for malpractice which I probably won't even do, and I especially can't wait for how horribly it will go! :D

If it was possible for me to believe in god, I would say I'm being punished by being surrounded by useless fucking people.

It doesn't help that my recruiter is being an incompetent fuck, too. He doesn't answer his phone, it took days for him to show his boss the paperwork I sent him (which he never even did when he told me he would, so I had to waltz down to the office to drop off the paperwork, and as soon as I got there they were fucking around with exercise weights like retards. And it figures, as soon as I'm there it takes only 10 minutes). And I had to waste 2 days staying at a hotel (which I found out later I didn't even need to do), and going to MEPS the second day, spending hours there waiting around, and dealing with a bitch of a nurse, only to find out my recruiter neglected to tell me that my physical was cancelled. And above all else, I had to wait a month (which brings us into the present), and I missed my psychiatrist appointment recently because I forgot to set an alarm. The one time I fuck something up, it just HAS to be this! So now I have to wait another month before I can possibly see them. And the only way I can get anyone to say that I am fit to serve, is if I routinely see psychiatrists or therapists which haven't even helped in the past, just so I can have this shit on record, all because I tried feebly committing suicide in the past. How the fuck is anyone supposed to turn their life around!? It's not like I can afford this shit, you think any of this is supposed to help me? It doesn't when they have no authority to change the other people around me, who fuck up even when not in my presence. It's not my fault insurance didn't want to pay for family therapy (which I was the one who wanted it), they couldn't even do the minimum. It's not even just my family fucking up, which I already mentioned earlier. I don't believe in god, I don't believe I am being punished, my life just so happens to be this unusually terrible. Is this what you wanted to know!? Can you make a fucking difference!? Is this how they treat people who wanna be drill sergeants!?
